Rosita Alvirez Lyrics
Antonio Aguilar
Lyrics
A?o de mil novecientos,
presente lo tengo yo,
en un barrio de Saltillo,
Rosita Alv?rez muri?.
Su mam? se lo dec?a:
-Rosa, esta noche no sales.
-Mam? no tengo la culpa
que a m? me gusten los bailes.
Hip?lito lleg? al baile
y a Rosa se dirigi?,
como era la m?s bonita,
Rosita lo desair?.
-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 sac?
y a la pobre de Rosita
nom?s tres tiros le di?.
La noche que la mataron,
Rosita estaba de suerte:
de tres tiros que le dieron,
nomas uno era de muerte.
Rosita ya est? en el cielo,
d?ndole cuenta al Creador,
Hip?lito en el juzgado,
dando su declaraci?n
