Lyrics of Rosita Alvirez - Vicente Fernandez, ANTONIO AGUILAR

Rosita Alvirez (original)

Año de mil novecientos
Presente lo tengo yo
En un barrio de Saltillo
Rosita Alvírez murió
Su mamá se lo decía:
-Rosa, esta noche no sales
-Mamá no tengo la culpa
Que a mí me gusten los bailes
Hipólito llegó al baile
Y a Rosa se dirigió
Como era la más bonita
Rosita lo desairó
-Rosita no me desaires
La gente lo va a notar
-Pues que digan lo que quieran
Contigo no he de bailar
Echo mano a la cintura
Y una pistola sacó
Y a la pobre de Rosita
Nomás tres tiros le dió
La noche que la mataron
Rosita estaba de suerte:
De tres tiros que le dieron
Nomas uno era de muerte
Rosita ya está en el cielo
Dándole cuenta al Creador
Hipólito en el juzgado
Dando su declaración

(translation)

year nineteen hundred
Present I have it
In a neighborhood of Saltillo
Rosita Alvirez died
Her mother told her:
-Rosa, you're not going out tonight
-Mom, it's not my fault.
That I like dances
Hipólito arrived at the dance
And to Rosa he addressed
She as she was the prettiest
Rosita snubbed him
-Rosita don't snub me
People are going to notice
-Well, let them say what they want.
I don't have to dance with you
I reach for the waist
And a gun pulled
And poor Rosita
She only three shots she gave him
The night she was killed
Rosita was in luck:
Of three shots they gave him
Nomas one was of death
Rosita is already in heaven
Accounting to the Creator
Hippolytus in court
