La Troca

The Truck

La Troca

He liked gamblingLe gustaban las apuestas
He was the king of the cockfightsEra el rey de los palenques
He bet a lot of cashApostaba mucha lana
Almost always went for the greenCasi siempre le iba al verde
Everyone called him the truckTodos le decian la troca
Great friend from JaliscoGran amigo jaliciense

Once in YahualicaUna vez en yahualica
People from Chicago arrivedLlego gente de chicago
With sacks of moneyCon costales de dinero
To bet on the roostersPara apostarlo en los gallos
His opponent was the truckSu contrario era la troca
The heaviest cockfighterEl gallero mas pesado

They suspended the cockfightSuspendieron el palenque
Supposedly for major reasonsDisque por causas mayores
But those cockfightersPero aquellos palenqueros
Were big bettorsEran muy aposadores
They challenged the truckDesafiaron a la troca
Great rival of the gentlemenGran rival de los señores
In races of fighting bullsEn carreras de mochomos
They bet millionsSe jugaron los millones

(And a shoutout to all the cockfighters,( y un saludo para todos lo galleros,
Go for it, cousin, here comes the brunette)Echele primo, ay te va morena)

When he played diceCuando jugaba bolados
Eagle always saidAguila siempre decia
No one backed downNo se le rajaba nadie
Betting was his lifeApostar era su vida
He wasn't scared of sleepNo se le espantaba el sueño
Whether he won or lostCuando ganaba o perdia

In the game of luckEn el juego afortunado
And also in loveY tambien en los amores
He maintained seven womenMantenia siete mujeres
Thanks to the spursGracias a los espolones
He also had other businessesTambien tenia otros negocios
That made him millionsQue le dejaban millones

When he arrived in VegasCuando llegaba a las vegas
It was a big dealEra palabras mayores
He went all out bettingSe daba vuelo apostando
The gentlemen were amazedSe asombraban los señores
In the casinos they gave himEn los casinos le daban
The best attentionLa mejores atenciones
That's why the buddy in VegasPor eso el compa en las vegas
Was Mr. Truck, gentlemenEra don troca señores
