El Tahur
Oye, Martín
Qué pasó?
Nos echamos una manita de pokar
Pos’ si pa' eso me andas buscando vámosle entrando
Martín Estrada Contreras
Un tahúr profesional
Lo respetaba la gente
Porque jugaba legal
Era pa' todos derecho
Sabía perder o ganar
Pero una joven hermosa
Le llegó al corazón
Él la convierte en su esposa
Ante el altar del señor
Es para él una rosa
De su jardín, linda flor
Al pueblo llegó un fulano
Que a Martín vino a buscar
Pero Martín perdió todo
Ya no tenía que apostar
Si quieres mirar mis cartas
Tienes que pagar por ver
Martín contesta sereno
Te apostaré a mi mujer
Tenía una mano segura
Sabía que no iba a perder
Se destaparon 4 ases
Se sintió Martín morir
Del juego así son las leyes
Hay que aprender a sufrir
Tenía un pokar de reyes
No había ni qué discutir
Martín salió como un rayo
Y en dos horas regresó
Su esposa iba a su lado
Todo en silencio quedó
Pa' mi las deudas de juego
Son siempre deudas de honor
Te entrego lo que más quiero
Pero te la entrego muerta
Aunque me destroza el alma
De sentimiento y dolor
Se oyeron dos fogonazos
De 2 balas expansivas
Primero mató a su amada
Después se quitó la vida
The Gambler
Hey, Martin
What happened?
We gave each other a hand of poker
Well, if that's what you're looking for, let's go in
Martin Estrada Contreras
A professional gambler
People respected him
Because he played legally
It was right for everyone
I knew how to lose or win
But a beautiful young woman
It touched his heart
He makes her his wife
Before the altar of the Lord
It's a rose for him
From your garden, beautiful flower
A guy came to town
That Martin came to look for
But Martin lost everything
I didn't have to bet anymore
If you want to look at my letters
You have to pay to see
Martin answers calmly
I'll bet my wife on you
He had a sure hand
I knew I wasn't going to lose
4 aces were revealed
Martin felt like he was dying
Such are the laws of the game
You have to learn to suffer
I had a poker of kings
There was nothing to discuss
Martin came out like lightning
And in two hours he returned
His wife was at his side
Everything fell silent
For me the gambling debts
They are always debts of honor
I give you what I love most
But I give her to you dead
Even though it breaks my soul
Of feeling and pain
Two flashes were heard
From 2 expanding bullets
First he killed his beloved
Then he took his own life
