Hoy Platique Con Mi Gallo

Today I talked with my rooster
And he sadly told me
Why did you take care of me so much
If today you throw me to death
Why did you take care of me so much
If today you throw me to death

And I told him, my friend
Here in confidence I tell you
Because of a damn bet
They want to finish me
Because of a damn bet
They want to finish me

Tears filled my eyes
I felt ashamed looking at him
I was going to lose my friend
For half a penny
I was going to lose my friend
For half a penny

I better go back to my land
I leave crying with joy
My people are waiting for me there
And his cockfighting arena is waiting for my rooster
My people are waiting for me there
And his cockfighting arena is waiting for my rooster

The rooster suddenly felt
That his blood was boiling
And with the knife already set
He said I'm going to save you
Let that rooster go
I will pay your debt

In less than three kicks
He finished off his rival
But also that rooster
Gave him a mortal wound
And there I swore that a friend
Should not be betrayed
