El Cowboy

The Cowboy

El Cowboy

Standing with his '45'Parado con su "45"
His cowboy hat and his watchSu gorro cowboy y su reloj
He looks at the time in a bad wayMira la hora a lo malo
With a furrowed brow, a real gentlemanEl ceño fruncido, todo un señor

It's said in the townSe comenta en el pueblo
He had more lives than a Siamese catTenía más vidas que un gato siamés
He never gets into trouble, accompanied by his faithful friendNunca se encuentra en problemas, acompañado de su amiga fiel

The town girlsLas muchachas del pueblo
Dream of stealing his heartSueñan con robarle el corazón
And he, who finds it so hard, always takes the opportunityY a él, que tanto le cuesta, siempre aprovecha la ocasión

Riding his horseMontado a su pingo
He rides the path of darknessCabalga la senda de la oscuridad
Of weed, alcohol, womenDel faso, el alcohol, las mujeres
And above all, of chanceY sobre todo del azar

He often risks his life in pokerY suele jugarse la vida al póker
With death, round and rematchCon la muerte, partida y revancha
He doesn't need the good handNo necesita el bueno
He always wins with hopeSiempre la gana con esperanza

And with the skill of a good playerY con la calidad del buen jugador
He won by playing tricksGanaba dandole changüí
And with other people's coinsY con las chirolas ajenas
He wandered the bars aroundRecorria los bares de por ahí

He never really knew how to respectNunca supo bien lo que era respetar
Another man's womanLa mujer del prójimo
And if someone resistedY si alguien se retobaba
He knew right away they were nextDe toque sabía que era el próximo

Until one day an uncle got angryHasta que un día un tío se enfadó
And emptied his gunY el cargador le vació
Of course, it was from behindPor supuesto fue de espaldas
No one was faster than the gentlemanNadie era más rápido que el señor

It's not recommended to walkNo se recomienda caminar
On the main streetPor la calle principal
Of the town of brave cowboysDel pueblo de valientes vaqueros
Where he used to liveDonde él solía habitar

Because you never knowPorque no se sabe
If his angry soul still lingers aroundSi su alma enfadada aún ronda por ahí
What is known is that him and his shadowLo que sí se sabe es que a él y su sombra
No one can fightNadie podrá combatir

Because he used to risk his life in pokerPorque solía jugarse la vida al póker
With death, round and rematchCon la muerte, partido y revancha
He didn't need the good handNo necesitaba el bueno
He always won with hopeSiempre la ganaba con esperanza

And with the skill of a good playerY con la calidad del buen jugador
He won by playing tricksGanaba dandole changüí
And with other people's coinsY con las chirolas ajenas
He wandered the bars aroundRecorria los bares de por ahí
