Paroles et traduction Ramón Ayala y Sus Bravos Del Norte - Cuatro Carreras

Cuatro Carreras

Cuidado con mi Palomo, muchacho
Fíjate cómo lo llevas
Porque tiene compromiso en el rancho de correr cuatro carreras.

Llega la primer carrera y por cierto
Era de seis mil quinientos
Pronto traigo a mi palomo y no hallaba qué hacer en esos momentos.

Toda la gente apostaba dinero
Al contrario del Palomo
Yo también traía mis pesos por suerte
Para taparles a todos.

Les hicieron su llamado
Y pa' pronto yo le monto a mi Palomo
Y los contrarios gritaban diciendo:
Vas a perder todo, todo...

Al llegar a media tabla
El Apache me agarró la delantera
Y yo le tendí la cuarta al Palomo
Y le gané la carrera.

Y la segunda carrera del día
La gané dando ventaja
La tercera que seguía pa' pronto
Mi contrario se me raja.

La cuarta ya ni les digo, que al cabo
El caballo se llevaron
Yo y mi Palomo quedamos, por cierto que hasta ahí nos balacearon.

Unos hombres disgustados quedaron disparando sus pistolas
Matándome a mi Palomo y yo herido
Me les fugué de la bola...

Four Races

Be careful with my Palomo, my boy
Be careful how you handle him
Because he has an engagement on the ranch to run four races.

The first race arrives and by the way
It was for six thousand five hundred
I brought my dove soon and didn't know what to do in those moments.

All the people were betting money
Against Palomo
I also brought my pesos for luck
To cover all of them.

They called them
And quickly I mounted my Palomo
And the competitors shouted, saying:
You're going to lose everything, everything...

When I reached half the table
Apache took the lead
And I stretched the fourth gear to Palomo
And I won the race.

And the second race of the day
I won and gave an advantage
The third that followed soon
My opponent quits on me.

The fourth, I don't even tell you, that after all
They took the horse
My Palomo and I stayed, by the way they even shot us.

Some of the disappointed men stayed shooting their pistols
Killing my Palomo and wounding me
I ran away from the crowd...
