《Gallo del Cielo》歌词

[00:00:03] Carlos Zaragoza left his home in Casas Grandes when the moon was full

[00:00:12] No money in his pocket just a locket of his sister framed in gold

[00:00:19] He rode into El Sueco stole a rooster called Gallo Del Cielo

[00:00:27] Then he swam the Rio Grande with that fighter nestled

[00:00:31] Deep beneath his arm

[00:00:37] El Gallo Del Cielo was a rooster born in heaven so the legends say

[00:00:45] His wings they had been broken he had one eye

[00:00:48] Rollin' crazy in his head

[00:00:54] And he'd fought a hundred fights and the legends say

[00:00:57] That one night near El Sueco

[00:01:02] They'd fought Gallo seven times and seven times he'd

[00:01:06] Left brave roosters dead

[00:01:09] Hola my Theresa I am thinking of you now in San Antonio

[00:01:17] I have 27 dollars and the good luck of your picture

[00:01:21] Framed in gold

[00:01:23] Tonight I'll put it all on the fighting spurs of Gallo Del Cielo

[00:01:31] And then I'll return to buy the land Villa stole

[00:01:35] From father long ago

[00:01:40] Outside of San Diego in the onion fields of Paco Monteverde

[00:01:48] The Pride of San Diego lay sleeping on a fancy bed of silk

[00:01:57] And they laughed when Zaragoza pulled the one eyed

[00:02:00] Del Cielo from beneath his coat

[00:02:05] But they cried when Zaragoza walked away with a

[00:02:09] Thousand dollar bill

[00:02:12] Hola my Theresa I am thinking of you now in Santa Barbara

[00:02:20] I have fifteen hundred dollars and the good luck of

[00:02:23] Your picture framed in gold

[00:02:27] Tonight I'll put it all on the fighting spurs of Gallo Del Cielo

[00:02:35] And then I'll return to buy the land Villa stole

[00:02:38] From father long ago

[00:03:00] Now the moon has gone to hiding and the lantern light

[00:03:03] Spills shadows on a fighting sand

[00:03:09] Where a wicked black named Zorro faces Gallo del Cielo in the night

[00:03:17] But Carlos Zaragoza fears the tiny crack that runs across his rooster's beak

[00:03:25] And he fears he has lost the fifty thousand dollars riding on the fight

[00:03:32] Hola my Theresa I am thinking of you now in Santa Clara

[00:03:40] Yes the money's on the table I am holding to

[00:03:43] Your good luck framed in gold

[00:03:47] And everything we've dreamed of is riding on the spurs of Del Cielo

[00:03:54] I pray that I'll return to buy the land Villa stole from father long ago

[00:04:03] Then the signal it was given and the cocks rose

[00:04:07] Together far above the sand

[00:04:12] El Gallo del Cielo sunk a gaff into Zorro's shiny breast

[00:04:20] They were separated quickly but they rose and fought

[00:04:23] Each other thirty seven times

[00:04:29] And the legends say that everyone agreed that del Cielo fought the best

[00:04:37] Then the screams of Zaragoza filled the night outside

[00:04:40] The town of Santa Clara

[00:04:46] As the beak of del Cielo lay broken like a shell within his hand

[00:04:54] And they say that Zaragoza screamed a curse upon the

[00:04:58] Bones of Pancho Villa

[00:05:02] When Zorro rose up one last time and drove del

[00:05:06] Cielo through the sand

[00:05:09] Hola my Theresa I am thinking of you now in

[00:05:13] San Francisco

[00:05:17] I have no money in my pocket I no longer have

[00:05:20] Your good luck framed in gold

[00:05:23] I buried it last evening with the bones of my

[00:05:26] Beloved Del Cielo

[00:05:31] And I'll not return to buy the land Villa stole from

[00:05:35] Father long ago

[00:05:38] Do the rivers still run muddy outside of my beloved

[00:05:42] Casas Grandes

[00:05:46] Oes the scar upon my brother's face turn red when

[00:05:49] He hears mention of my name

[00:05:52] Do the people of El Sueco curse the theft of Gallo del Cielo

[00:06:00] Well tell my family not to worry I will not return

[00:06:04] To cause them shame
