Lyrics

Me coge el gallo Rufina
Eso le dijo el perico
Porque un gallo equivocado
Le confundió con gallina
Lo corrió por la guardarraya
Y el perico cansado en el suelo se tiró
Ay Dios
Y cuando el gallo llegó
Quiso enseguida jugar
Como un tiro el perico
Del suelo se levantó
Y al gallo le dijo así
Cuidadito compay gallo, cuidadito (tres veces)
Así como usted me ve
Yo tengo mi periquita
Búsquese su gallinita
Que ésas sí son para usted.
Cuidadito compay gallo, cuidadito (tres veces)
Cuando el periquito vio
Que la cosa iba de veras
Al gallo le dijo espera
Gallo usted se equivocó
Yo vine de Portugal
Por mi gracia me compraron
Periquito Real dame la patita
Currutá, currutá, que en la puerta está
Esta gracia compay gallo
No me acaba de gustar
Edovago

Lyrics translation

I get the cock Rufina
That's what the parrot told him.
Because a wrong Rooster
He mistook him for hen
Ran him down the guardrail
And the weary parrot on the ground threw himself
Oh, God.
And when the Rooster came
He immediately wanted to play
Like a shot the parakeet
From the ground rose
And the Rooster said so
Careful compay gallo, careful (three times)
As you see me
I have my parakeet
Look for your chicken
That those are for you.
Careful compay gallo, careful (three times)
When the parakeet saw
That the thing was really going
The Rooster said Wait
Rooster you were wrong
I came from Portugal
By my grace they bought me
Royal parakeet give me the duck
Currutá, currutá, at the door is
This grace compay cock
I don't just like it
Edovago
