Below, I translated the lyrics of the song La Emboscada Del Gallo by Carlos Y Jose from Spanish to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Ya pueden dormir tranquilos, los que muerto lo deseaban
Now you can sleep peacefully, those who wanted him dead
Mataron al Gallo grande, que a mucha gente ayudaba
They killed the big Rooster, who helped many people
Valor tenía de sobra, cayó en terrible emboscada
He had plenty of courage, he fell into a terrible ambush
Fueron 8 pistoleros, disparando a rienda suelta
There were 8 gunmen, shooting freely
Con esos cuernos de chivo, y otras armas muy violentas
With those goat horns, and other very violent weapons
También hallaron cartuchos, de calibre M 60
They also found cartridges, caliber M 60
La mata sigue floreando, las guías no se han secado
The bush continues to bloom, the guides have not dried
Por ahí andan unos pollos, resueltos y bien armados
There are some chickens walking around, determined and well armed
Queremos ojo por ojo, veremos los resultados
We want an eye for an eye, we will see the results
Manuel Salcido su nombre, era del gallo' de San Juan
Manuel Salcido's name was from the rooster of San Juan
Era un hombre entre los hombres, algunos recordaran
He was a man among men, some will remember
Nacido de San Ignacio, cerquita de Mazatlán
Born in San Ignacio, near Mazatlán
Fue terrible la noticia, en la perla tapatía
The news was terrible, in the pearl of Guadalajara
Ninguno le daba crédito, lo que pasaba ese día
No one believed what was happening that day
Fueron 90 balazos, los que Manuel recibía
There were 90 bullets, which Manuel received
Ya con esta ahí me despido, da tristeza recordarlo
With this there I say goodbye, it's sad to remember it
Manuel era muy valiente, eso puedo asegurarlo
Manuel was very brave, I can assure you of that
Tenían que juntarse varios, para tener que matarlo
Several had to get together to kill him
