El Gallo Fino

The Fine Rooster

El Gallo Fino

You left my side because you thoughtTe fuiste de mi lado porque tu pensaste
That by leaving me alone your life would changeQue con dejarme solo iba a cambiar tu vida
And I do understand why you left meY yo si comprender el porque me dejaste
I didn't know how to answer those who askedNo sabia responder al que me preguntaba

Oh, people whispered it was my faultAy que era por culpa mia la gente murmuraba
That you were a decent, dignified ladyQue tu eras una dama decente muy digna
That I was a bad man, your family saidQue yo era un hombre malo decia tu familia
And that you lived poorly with what I gave youY que tu vivias muy mal con lo que yo te daba

But as the days passed, they realizedPero con el pasar de los dias se han dado cuenta
That I was a decent man on every occasionQue yo fui un hombre correcto en toda ocacion
That you didn't live like a queen because of my povertyQue no vivias ni una reina por mi pobreza
But that I never failed in my dutyPero que nunca falle en mi obligacion

Now that they have realized what the problem wasHoy que se han dado cuenta como fue el problema
The gossip has decreased a bitSe han acabado un poco las habladurias
I don't care about that rude attitudeA mi no me interesa esa actitud grosera
Because in the end, I am still the samePorque al final de cuentas sigo siendo el mismo

They haven't destroyed me as they wantedQue no me me han destruido como ellos querian
Because in the end, I am still the samePorque a final de cuentas sigo siendo el mismo
They haven't destroyed me as they wantedQue no me han destruido como ellos querian
Because I stand strong like the fine roosterPorque yo me sostengo como el gallo fino
Who is dying but in agony pecks the otherQue ya se esta muriendo pero en la agonia le mete el pico al
And leaves it lyingOtro y lo deja tendido

For that reason, I always keep moving forwardPor esa causa es que siempre sigo adelante
Even though many have wanted to see me cryAunque muchos han querido verme llorando
And if I slip, I grab on and never fallY si resbalo me agarro y nunca me caigo
And slowly but surely, I continue my triumphant taskY a paso lento sigo mi tarea triunfante
