Lyrics and translation Miguel y Miguel - El Jorongo




El Jorongo
El Jorongo
Tenia un rostro impenetrable
Her face was impassive
Y la mirada serana
And her gaze was serene
El pokar era su fuerte
Poker was her forte
Para jugar a los Naipes
For playing cards
Así comienza el corrido
Thus begins the ballad
De aquel taur del zarape
Of that gambler in the sarape
Una vez alla en Las Vegas
Once there in Las Vegas
En el hotel Cesar Palace
At the hotel Cesar Palace
Lo vi ganar un gran duelo
I saw her win a great duel
Aquel tahur de Montana
That cheat from Montana
Y despues jugando en cuartos
And then playing in rooms
El tapete les limpiaba
She cleaned them
El hombre de Aguascalientes
The man from Aguascalientes
Nacido y criado en San Marcos
Born and raised in San Marcos
Un hombre de mucho mundo
A man of the world
Del club de el Monte Carlo
Of the Monte Carlo club
Lo apodaban el Jorongo
They nicknamed him El Jorongo
Por su zarape rallado
For his striped sarape
El amor provoca celos
Love causes jealousy
La fama provoca envidia
Fame causes envy
Se valieron de su novia
They took advantage of his girlfriend
Para un cuatro a la medida
For a fixed game
Mas no sabian que el jorongo
But they didn't know that El Jorongo
Tambien los tenia en la mira
Also had them in his sights
Solo tenia par de doces
He only had a pair of twelves
Su novia telegrafio
His girlfriend called
Pero al llegarle el descarte
But when he got his discard
Le calleron otros dos
Two more fell for him
Su sallo con pokar de ases
His jump with a four of aces
El resto se lo avento
The rest he threw away
Con una alegre sonrisa
With a cheerful smile
El gran invite acepto
He accepted the great bid
Hombre de mucho cerebro
A man of great intelligence
Ni siquiera parpareo
He didn't even blink
Les destapo en el tapete
He laid bare on the carpet
Escalera de color
Straight flush
(FLOR IMPERIAL)
(ROYAL FLUSH)
