Pelea de Gallos
Antonio Aguilar
Cockfight
To the fair of San Marcos
From the very Aguas Calientes
The brave ones are arriving
With their crested rooster
And they bring it under their arm
To the cockfighting ring
To gamble even their lives
With faith in a spur
Beautiful cockfight
With the rowdy crowd
With their streams of money
And the shouts of the loud one
Enjoying the pleasure
Not even feeling the hours
With tequila and singers
Who are pure heart
Oh, beautiful party!
Even the soul shouts
With all its might
Long live Aguas Calientes!
Long live!
For its fair is a delight
The fight begins
The bets already made
The knives tied
Gleaming under the sun
When they release the roosters
Trembling with courage
None backs down
To engage in a fight
With shiny feathers
And throwing pecks
They want to tear each other apart
As they are eager to fight
And in the clash the turn falls
On the bloodied ground
The Colorado has won
And starts to sing
Oh, beautiful party!
Even the soul shouts
With all its might
Long live Aguas Calientes!
Long live!
For its fair is a delight
