Original lyrics
La Cama de Piedra
De piedra ha de ser la cama,
De piedra las cabeceras;
La mujer que a mi me quiera,
Me ha de querer de a de veras.
Ay, ay, corazón,
¿Por qué no amas?
Subí a la sala del crimen
Le pregunté al presidente:
Que si es delito el quererte,
Que me sentencien a muerte.
Ay, ay, corazón,
¿Por qué no amas?
El día en que a mi me maten,
Que sea de cinco balazos
Y estar cerquita de ti,
Para morir en tus brazos.
Ay, ay, corazón,
¿Por qué no amas?
Por caja quiero un sarape,
Por cruz mis dobles cananas
Y escriban sobre mi tumba
Mi último adiós con mil balas.
Ay, ay, corazón,
¿Por qué no amas?

Translation
The Stone Bed
The bed must be made from stone,
the pillows must be made from stone
the woman who loves me
must really, really love me.
oh, oh, love
why don't you love?
I came into the room1
I asked the president:
If it's a crime to love you
if so, sentence me to death.
oh, oh, love
why don't you love?
The day that they kill me
let it be done with five shots
and let me be close to you
so that I can die in your arms.
oh, oh, love
why don't you love?
I want a serape for a coffin
my cartridge belts for a cross
and engrave my tombstone
a final goodbye with a thousand bullets.
oh, oh, love
why don't you love?
- 1. where the crime was committed.
