Paroles et traduction Eliseo Robles - El Giro Sin Pico

El Giro Sin Pico

Uno giro en una mano
Llegó a un palenque escondido
Veinte mil verdes traía
Y perderlos no temía
Sabia que andaba de suerte
Su gallo se lo decía
Cuando Ernesto sacó el gallo
La gente se carcajeaba
Se burlaban de aquel gallo
Su pico el giro faltaba
Mas nadie se imaginó
Lo que esa tarde pasara
Se acercaron dos amigos
Y a Ernesto le preguntaban
De cuanto va a ser tu apuesta
Dígalo usted camarada
La cierro en veinte mil verdes
Ernesto les contestaba
Los tipos se carcajearon
Y uno al otro se miraron
No creas que vas a asustarnos
Empieza amarrar a tu gallo
Por que este mis patas verdes
A ese giro va acabarlo
Cuando soltaron los gallos
Todo se quedó en silencio
Y la gente no creía lo que en el centro veían
Que aquel gallito sin pico
Al patas verdes torcía
Los compas se sorprendieron
Ver a su gallo en el suelo
Y aquel girito sin pico
Cante y cante frente a ellos
Uno al otro se miraron
Tal vez no podían creerlo
Ernesto levantó el gallo
Y a los compas le decía
Si quisieran la revancha
Con gusto se la darían
Ya les demostró mi gallo

Spin Without a Beak

A spin in one hand
Arrived at a hidden cockfighting ring
Twenty thousand dollars he brought
And he wasn't afraid to lose them
He knew he was lucky
His rooster told him so
When Ernesto took out his rooster
People laughed
They made fun of that rooster
His beak was missing
But nobody could have imagined
What would happen that afternoon
Two friends approached
And they asked Ernesto
What will your bet be
Tell us, comrade
I'll close it at twenty thousand dollars
Ernesto answered them
The guys laughed
And they looked at each other
Don't think you're going to scare us
Start tying up your rooster
Because this green-legged rooster of mine
Is going to finish that rooster off
When they released the roosters
Everything went silent
And the people couldn't believe what they saw in the center
That little rooster without a beak
Was twisting the green-legged rooster
The friends were surprised
To see their rooster on the ground
And that little rooster without a beak
Singing and crowing in front of them
They looked at each other
Perhaps they couldn't believe it
Ernesto picked up his rooster
And he said to his friends
If you want a rematch
I'll be happy to give it to you
My rooster has already shown you
