Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Gallo Rojo by Los Fabulosos Cadillacs from Spanish to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Hubo un tiempo que eras fuerte
There was a time when you were strong
why peleabas como un gallo
Why you fought like a rooster
gallo rojo tan valiente
Red Rooster so brave
comandante de este barrio
Commander of this neighborhood
no importaba si eran diez
It didn't matter if it was ten
si eran veinte o eran mil
whether it was twenty or a thousand
eras grande sol de mayo
Eras Grande Sol de Mayo
hoy la gente va dormida
Today people are asleep
nadie puede despertarla
No one can wake her up
Es por eso que te pido
That's why I ask you
que no vuelvas a la vida
Don't come back to life
que despiertes a toda la sangre
Awaken to all the blood
que está dormida
who is asleep
algún día esta cuadra
someday this block
va a ser como vos querías
It's going to be the way you wanted it to be
why mañana será todo el barrio
Why tomorrow will be the whole neighborhood
el que te siga
The one who follows you
Cuando suba la marea
When the tide rises
yo me quedo en este barrio
I stay in this neighborhood
porque llevo tus zapatos
because I'm wearing your shoes
why tu sangre caminando
Why your blood walking
why mañana serán diez serán veinte
why tomorrow will be ten will be twenty
o serán mil
or will be a thousand
a tu lado sol de mayo
By your side May sun
hubo un tiempo que peleabas
There was a time you fought
ese tiempo va llegando
That time is coming
