EL GALLO TUERTO
Jugué un gallo en la gallera
era un sambo guapetón
se codeaba con cualquiera
de su misma condición.
Se enfrentaba a un gallo pinto
el sambo no comió cuento
pero el pinto le espichó
un ojo y lo dejó tuerto.
Kikiriki, cantaba el gallo
Cocoroco con la gallina
kikiriki, cantaba el gallo
Cocorocó, en la cocina
Se murió mi gallo tuerto
Que será de mi gallina
A las cuatro e la mañana
Me cantaba en la cocina
Lo trajeron medio enfermo
En el viaje no aguantó
el gallo tenía una gripe
que del tiro se murió.
Kikiriki, cantaba el gallo
Cocoroco con la gallina
kikiriki, cantaba el gallo
Cocorocó, en la cocina.
Pobre mi gallito tuerto
Un catarro lo mató
Estornudaba cantando
y de un infarto se murió.
Lo traían de emergencia
a verse con el doctor
y al llegar al aéreo puerto
el gallito se murió
Kikiriki, cantaba el gallo
Cocoroco con la gallina
kikiriki, cantaba el gallo
Cocorocó, en la cocina
THE ONE-EYED ROOSTER
I fought a rooster at the cockfight,
he was a handsome mulatto,
he held his own with anyone
of his kind.
He faced a speckled rooster,
the mulatto didn't fall for it,
but the speckled one of his eyes
and left him one-eyed.
Cock-a-doodle-doo, crowed the rooster,
Cock-a-doodle-doo with the hen,
Cock-a-doodle-doo, crowed the rooster,
Cock-a-doodle-doo, in the kitchen.
My one-eyed rooster died.
What will become of my hen?
At four in the morning,
He was crowing for me in the kitchen.
They brought him half-sick,
He couldn't make it on the trip,
the rooster had the flu,
and died right away.
Cock-a-doodle-doo, crowed the rooster,
Cock-a-doodle-doo with the hen,
Cock-a-doodle-doo, crowed the rooster,
Cock-a-doodle-doo, in the kitchen.
My poor little one-eyed rooster
A cold killed him
He sneezed while crowing
and died of a heart attack.
They rushed him in
to see the doctor
and when he arrived at the airport
the little rooster died
Cock-a-doodle-doo, crowed the rooster
Cock-a-doodle-doo with the hen
Cock-a-doodle-doo, crowed the rooster
Cock-a-doodle-doo, in the kitchen
