The Cockfight
I lost in the cockfight
My fiery rooster
Oh! Oh!
I lost in the cockfight
My land, my farm
My house, my dog
Oh, man! Oh, man!
Listen, I lost in the cockfight
My best spur
Oh! Oh!
I lost in the cockfight
My crossed suit
That I brought from outside
I lost in the cockfight
My fiery rooster
My coin purse
I lost in the cockfight
My fruit stand
By the roadside
And that happens to me
For playing in the cockfight
Oh, man! Oh, man!
Oh! Oh!
Ehehia! Eheia!
Oh, man! Oh, man!
I continue: I lost in the cockfight
All the plot
Oh! Oh!
I lost in the cockfight
My vase of flowers
My wicker chair
Oh, man! Oh, man!
I continue: I lost in the cockfight
My old bunk bed
Oh! Oh!
I lost in the cockfight
My wardrobe, my glasses, my clothes
My wristwatch
I lost in the cockfight, hey!
My fiery rooster
I have nothing left
I lost in the cockfight
Damn cockfight
By the roadside
That happens to me
For playing in the cockfight
Oh, man! Oh, man!
Oh! Oh!
Ehehia! Eheia!
Oh, man! Oh, man!
I lost in the cockfight
My fiery rooster
My best spur
I lost in the cockfight
Damn cockfight
By the roadside
And that happens to me
For playing in the cockfight
Draw! Draw!
I lost in the cockfight
My fiery rooster
My silk suit
I lost in the cockfight
Damn cockfight, hey!
By the roadside
And that happens to me
For playing in the cockfight
Draw! Draw, Tomás!
I lost in the cockfight
My fiery rooster
My best spur
I lost in the cockfight
Damn cockfight, hey!
By the roadside
And that happens to me
For playing in the cockfight
[improv.]
My small farm, my work
My little betting table
(My fiery rooster)
And my voter registration
(I lost in the cockfight)
My little mortar
My guavaberry, my dagger
My house, my land, my hill
(By the roadside)
My pillow, my roof
My soul, and even my dark-skinned girl
(For playing in the cockfight)
Hey! Oh, oh, oh!...
