El Rengo del Gallo Giro

The Crippled Rooster

El Rengo del Gallo Giro

An old man limped inLlego renguiando un viejito
To the gates of a cockfightA las puertas de un palenque
He had a rooster with himUn gallo giro llevava
And showed it to the crowdY se lo mostro a la gente
He also had quite a bit of cashTambien bastante dinero
He wanted a really tough fightQueria una pelea muy fuerte.

Down in AguascalientesAlla por Aguascalientes
A derby was going onUn derby se celebraba
And when that old man walked inY cuando entro aquel viejito
He challenged the fightersA los partidos retaba
He wanted to bet two millionQueria jugar dos millonmes
On an extraordinary matchA una pelea extraordinaria.

Very upsetBastante muy disgustado
A man stood upUn hombre se levanto
He said, "Damn crippleLe dijo rengo maldito
I’ll take you down a pegTe quitare lo bocón
I’d like your bet even moreMe gustaria mas tu apuesta
If you double the stakes."Si le doblas el valor.

Ha, ha, ha, haUa,ajajajaja
All from Morelos, buddyPuro Morelos compa

After they made the dealDespues que hicieron el trato
They showed a red roosterMostraron a un colorado
His name was Johnny YomperSu clase era Johnny yomper
A legit AmericanLegitimo americano
All the bettorsTodos los apostadores
Switched their bets to the roosterAl giro se le voltearon.

When they let the roosters goCuando soltaron los gallos
They clashed in the airEn el aire se agarraron
The red one fell backEl giro se fue pa tras
With a cut to the chestDe la pechuga cortado,
But he was still crowingPero cantaba en el ruedo
The red rooster had diedHabia muerto el colorado.

The crippled roosterEl rengo del gallo giro
Impressed the cockfightersImpresiono a los galleros
Because he had a bagPor que llevava una bolsa
Ready to burst with cashA reventar de dinero
In a town in ChihuahuaEn un pueblo de Chihuahua
That’s where he keeps his coopAhi tiene su gallinero.
