Los Dos Galleros - Antonio Aguilar Übersetzung ins Englische

Los Dos Galleros

Voy a contarles lo que ha pasado
Hace muy poco en esta region
De un hombre bueno que asesinaron
Porque a los gallos jugo y gano.

Era su nombre Luis Villa Gomez
Que fue sincero de corazon
Pero Faustino Roldan lo odiaba
Porque a su gallo lo despacho.

Un dia domingo por la mañana
Cuando al palenque fueron los 2
Al gallo giro que Luis llevaba
Un colorado Roldan le hecho.

El gallo giro salto la valla
Con su navaja en el espolon
Y el colorado salio enseguida
Dando de vueltas alrededor.

Luis Villa Gomez contento siempre
Vio al colorado por fin morir
Mientras Faustino Roldan oia
Del gallo giro el kikiriki.

Pero mas tarde cuando salieron
Y en la cantina se hallaba Luis
Llego Faustino buscando pleito
Y todos hizo salir de ahi.

Luis Villa Gomez miro Faustino
Que ya borracho se le acerco
Mira le dijo no busques pleito!
Guarda el puñal y sera mejor.

Pero Faustino mirando el cuerpo
Del colorado que ahi llevo
Arrebatado por el coraje
De puñaladas a Luis mato.

Hoy en la carcel arrepentido
Fautini paga su mala accion
Mientras el pueblo recuerda y llora
La trite historia que ahi paso.

The Two Cockfighters

I'm going to tell you what happened
Very recently in this region
Of a good man who was assassinated
Because he played and won cocks.

His name was Luis Villa Gomez
Who was sincere of heart
But Faustino Roldan hated him
Because he dispatched his rooster.

One Sunday morning
When they went to the cockfight
On the spinning rooster that Luis took
Roldan threw a red one.

The spinning rooster jumped the fence
With its razor blade in its spur
And the red one came out right away
Circling around.

Luis Villa Gomez always happy
Watched the red one finally die
While Faustino Roldan heard
The cock's crowing.

But later when they left
And Luis was in the bar
Faustino came looking for a fight
And he made everyone leave there.

Luis Villa Gomez looked at Faustino
Who was drunk and approached him
Look, he said, don't look for a fight!
Put away the knife and it will be better.

But Faustino looking at the body
Of the red one that he carried there
Overwhelmed by rage
Killed Luis with stab wounds.

Today in prison repentant
Fautini pays for his bad action
While the town remembers and mourns
The sad story that happened there.
