Lyrics
Pobre gallo bataraz
Se te está abriendo el pellejo
Ya ni pa' dar un consejo
Como dicen, te encontrás
Porque estás enclenque y viejo
¡pobre gallo bataraz!
Pero en tus tiempos, cuidao
Con hacer bulla en la siesta
Se te paraba la cresta
Y había en la arena un finao
Y siga nomás la fiesta
Porque en tus tiempos, ¡cuidao!
Era de larga tu espuela
Como cola de peludo
Y a’más de ser entrañudo
Eras guapo sin agüeria
Porque hasta el más corajudo
Sintió terror por tu espuela
Si en los días de domingo
Había depositada
Ya estabas de madrugada
Sobre el lomo de mi pingo
Había que ver tu parada
Pocas plumas el domingo
Y si escaseaba la plata
O andaba medio tristón
Entre brinco y reculón
Me picabas la alpargata
Como diciendo: Patrón
Ya sabe si anda sin plata
Pobre gallo bataraz
Nunca te echaré al olvido
Pimenton y maíz molido
No te han de faltar jamás
Porque soy agradecido
¡pobre gallo bataraz!
Lyrics translation
Poor cock bataraz
Your skin is opening up.
No more advice.
As they say, you meet
'Cause you're crazy and old
poor bataraz Rooster!
But in your time, take care
With making noise in the nap
Your Ridge was standing
And there was in the sand a finao
And just follow the party
Because in your day, take care!
It was long your spur
Like hairy tail
And a ' more of being affectionate
You were handsome, you couldn't stand it.
Because even the bravest
He was terrified of your spur.
If on Sunday days
Had deposited
You were early.
On the back of my pingo
You had to see your stop
Few feathers on Sunday
And if there was a shortage of money
Or he was half sad
Between bounce and bounce
You were pricking my espadrille.
As saying: pattern
You know if he runs out of money
Poor cock bataraz
I'll never forget you
Paprika and ground corn
You'll never miss them
Because I'm grateful
poor bataraz Rooster!
