La Ley Del Monte Vicente Fernández (English Translation) Lyrics

I engraved your name on the maguey leaf
Joined to mine, intertwined
As a proof before the law of the mountain
That we were in love there

It was you who searched for the leaf
The most beautiful, the most slender
And you even said that I should also engrave
Two hearts with an arrow

Now you say you don’t remember anymore
That nothing is true, that they are just words
I am calm because in the end
In our idyll, the maguey leaves speak

The same night you changed my love
You also cut that leaf
You imagined that if they saw it
It would be like an insult to you

You forget that the maguey knew
What you swore on our night
And that in its own way, it could also
Reprove you with a complaint

I don’t know if you believe the strange things
That my eyes see, maybe you’ll be amazed
The new leaves that grow on the maguey
Are marked with our names
