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

Cuatro Carreras

Cuidado con mi palomo muchacho
Fijate como 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
Que hacer en esos momentos
Toda la gente apostaba dinero
Al contrario del palomo
Yo tambien traia 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 agarro la delantera
Y yo le tendi la cuarta al palomo
Y le gane la carrera
Y la segunda carrera del dia
La gane dando ventaja
La tercera que seguia 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 ahi nos balazearon
Unos hombres disgustados quedaron
Disparando sus pistolas
Matandome a mi palomo y yo herido
Me les fugue de la bola

Four Races

Be careful with my dove, boy
Notice how you take it
Because it has a commitment at the ranch
To run four races
The first race arrives, and by the way
It was six thousand five hundred
Quickly I bring my dove but could not find
What to do in those moments
All the people were betting money
Against the dove
I also brought my pesos, luckily
To cover everyone
They called them and right away
I mount my dove
And the opponents shouted saying
You're going to lose everything, everything
Upon reaching the middle of the table, Apache
Took the lead
And I stretched out the dove's fourth
And I won the race
And the second race of the day
I won giving an advantage
The third that followed, right away
My opponent quits on me
The fourth, I don't need to tell you that anyway
They took the horse
My dove and I were left, for sure
Until they shot at us
Some upset men were left
Firing their pistols
Killing my dove and wounding me
I escaped from the crowd
