Llegó rengueando un viejito
An old man came limping
A las puertas de un palenque
At the doors of a palenque
Un Gallo Giro llevaba
A Gallo Giro carried
Y se lo mostró a la gente
And he showed it to the people
También bastante dinero
Also a lot of money
Quería una pelea muy fuerte
I wanted a very strong fight
Allá por Aguascalientes
There in Aguascalientes
Un Derby se celebraba
A Derby was held
Y cuando entró aquel viejito
And when that old man entered
A los galleros retaba
He challenged the cockfighters
Quería jugar dos millones
I wanted to play two million
A una pelea extraordinaria

Bastante muy disgustado
Quite very upset
Un hombre se levantó

Le dijo: Rengo, maldito
He told him: Limping, damn
Te quitaré lo bocón
I will take away your mouthiness
Me gustaría más tu apuesta

Si le doblas el valor

Después que hicieron el trato

Mostraron a un colorado

Su clase era Johnnie Jumper

Legítimo Americano

Al giro se le voltearon
At the turn they turned
Cuando tiraron los gallos

En el aire se agarraron

El Giro se echó para tras

De la pechuga cortado
Cut from the breast
Pero cantaba en el ruedo
But he sang in the ring
Había muerto El Colorado

El Rengo del Gallo Giro

Impresionó a los galleros

Porque llevaba una bolsa

A reventar de dinero

En un pueblo de Chihuahua

Ahí tiene su gallinero
