El Ratón Vaquero

The Cowboy Mouse

El Ratón Vaquero

In the mouse trap, a mouse has fallenEn la ratonera, ha caído un ratón
With his two guns and his cowboy suitCon sus dos pistolas y su traje de cowboy
He must be a little American because he always speaks EnglishHa de ser gringuito porque siempre habla inglés
Besides being fair-skinned and having big feetA más de ser güerito y tener grandes los pies

The cowboy mouse pulled out his gunsEl ratón vaquero sacó sus pistolas
Tipped his hat and told me in privateSe inclinó el sombrero y me dijo a solas

What the heck is this house for a manly Cowboy Mouse?What the heck is this house for a manly Cowboy Mouse?
Hello you! Let me out! And don't catch me like a troutHello you! Let me out! And don't catch me like a trout
So yes, it's clear you're not comfortable thereCon que sí, ya se ve que no estás a gusto ahí
And even if you speak English, I won't let you outY aunque hables inglés, no te dejaré salir

Behind the strong bars that guard the prisonTras la fuertes rejas que resguardan la prisión
He moves his ears, begging for mercyMueve las orejas, implorando compasión
The cunning one said he will reformDijo el muy ladino que se va a reformar
And even if he speaks to me in Chinese, I won't release himY aunque me hable en chino, pues ni así lo he de soltar

The cowboy mouse fired two shotsEl ratón vaquero tiró dos balazos
He licked the bullets and crossed his armsSe chupó las balas y cruzó los brazos

Hello you! Let me out! And don't catch me like a troutHello you! Let me out! And don't catch me like a trout
So yes, it's clear you're not comfortable thereCon que sí, ya se ve que no estás a gusto ahí
And even if you speak English, I won't let you outY aunque hables inglés, no te dejaré salir
