La Cama de Piedra (The Bed made from Stone)

Although the lyrics may seem depressing, they are metaphors for what a man is willing to do for the love of a woman. I remember this song from back when I was about 5 years old! It was a classic then just like it is now. My dad would sing it to me.
My grandfather would sang it to my father also. This is the perfect example as to why I enjoy this type of music so much. Mariachi music is timeless it just doesn't go out of style. The entire family can appreciate it.
Although my bed is made out of stone I am content because the woman who will love me will love me for who I really am. I asked the heads of state if it's a crime to love you. If it is, they can sentence me now. Why don't you love me yet? If I'm to get hurt in a gunfight, let it be by 5 gunshots, and have you nearby, so I can die in your arms. For a coffin I want to be wrapped in a sarape and over my cross hang my bullet belts. Have them bid me farewell with a thousand gunshots in the air. Oh my love why don't you love me back? Why don't you love me yet?
