The Gambler

Listen Martin
What happened?
Shall we play some poker?
Well, if that's what you're looking for
Let's get into it
Martin Estrada Contreras
A professional gambler
People respected him
Because he played fair
He was straightforward with everyone
Knew how to lose or win

But a beautiful young woman
Reached his heart
He made her his wife
Before the Lord's altar
He gave her a rose
From his garden, a lovely flower

A stranger came to town
Looking for Martin
But Martin lost everything
He had nothing left to bet
If you want to see my cards
You have to pay to see
Martin calmly replies:
'I'll bet my wife'
He had a sure hand
He knew he wouldn't lose

'Four aces' were revealed
Martin felt like dying
That's how the game goes
You have to learn to suffer
He had a poker of kings
There was no need to argue

Martin left like a flash
And returned in two hours
His wife was by his side
Everything fell silent

'For me, gambling debts
Are always debts of honor
I give you what I cherish the most
But I give it to you dead
Even though it breaks my soul
With feelings and pain'

Two shots were heard
From 2 expanding bullets
First, he killed his beloved
Then he took his own life
