El Ratón Vaquero
Libertad Lamarque
The Cowboy Mouse
In the mousetrap
a mouse has fallen
with his two guns
and his cowboy suit.
He must be a little American
because he always speaks English
besides being fair-skinned
and having big feet.
The cowboy mouse
pulled out his guns,
tipped his hat,
and told me alone:
What the heck is this house
for a manly Cowboy Mouse?
Hello you! Let me out!
and don't catch me like a trout.
So yes, it is clear,
that you are not comfortable there,
and even if you speak English
I won't let you out.
Behind the strong bars
that guard the prison,
he moves his ears,
pleading for compassion.
The cunning one said
that he will reform,
and even if he speaks in Chinese,
I won't release him like that.
The cowboy mouse
fired two shots,
sucked the bullets,
and crossed his arms:
What the heck is this house
for a manly Cowboy Mouse
Hello you! Let me out!
And don't catch me like a trout.
So yes, it is clear,
that you are not comfortable there,
and even if you speak English
I won't let you out.
