El Texano y El Machete
Ramón Ayala
The Texan and The Machete
From the sultana
Of the north
The wind
Brings
A ballad
Where they tell
That the machete
With the Texan
Has lost
And the machete's
Party
Has hurt them
In the American
Union
And in all
Mexico
It is known
That the Texan
Is a slick
Son of a gun
Who came
And stole
From the machete
On January 24th
The machete
Already had
22 victories
In a row
But the day came
When
His edge
Ran out
Because
The Texan
Was coming
To finish him off
More than 5,000
Witnesses
Were on the track
They wanted to know
If the Texan
Was as
They said
Because
The famous
Machete
Was not easily
Defeated
When the gates opened
The people's cry
Was heard
When they crossed
The finish line
The Texan
Was already
In the lead
There were people
Crying
Over the machete's defeat
Whenever they want
The rematch
They will gladly
Grant it
Let it happen
On the same
Track
Also
On the same
Soil
And the amount
Of money
Wherever
They want
To put it
