And where the wind comes fromY de donde sale el vento

They say, I have a sure thingLe dicen, tengo una papa

I swear on my healthLe juro por mi salud
It's filling up to the bootsEs llenarse hasta las botas
Because it's a sure thingPorque es una refijota

That I bring from the studQue la traigo del stud

Bet strong, sirJuéguele fuerte señor
Look, it's a sure thingMire que es una papusa

And if in the end he catches itY si al fin se la pilla
He drags him to the windowLo arrastra a la ventanilla

Game over, no more betsHecho el juego, no va más

They're off, we're doing wellLargaron, venimos bien

And even if it's a mistakeY aunque sea una macana
And in which the horse stealsY en el que el caballo afana
And in which the horse stealsY en el que el caballo afana
And the duck made moneyY el pato se armó de guita

And as the race startsY al largarse la carrera
The horse is doing badlyEl caballo viene mal

The frog takes offEl rana sale piantando
And the fool stays waitingY el gil se queda esperando
And the fool stays waitingY el gil se queda esperando
For the final sprintLa atropellada final
