El Palenque Lyrics in English Vicente Fernández
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song El Palenque by Vicente Fernández from Spanish to English.
Traigo un gallo colorado
I've got a red rooster
Que jamás se me ha rajado
That has never backed down
En el ruedo del palenque
In the cockpit's ring
En la ferias que ha peleado
At the fairs where he's fought
Muchos gallos afamados
Many famous roosters
Han perdido lo valiente
Have lost their courage
La medida en la navaja
The size of the blade
Pa' mi gallo nunca es nada
Means nothing to my rooster
Se la juega como quiera
He'll fight however he wants
Yo le apuesto hasta la vida
I'll even bet my life on him
Si se trata de jugarla
If it's about risking it
Me la rifo con cualquiera
I'll go up against anyone
Las carreras de caballos
The horse races
Y los naipes de colores
And the colorful playing cards
Para mí son pura vida
To me, that's the good life
Y el amor que a mí me quiera
And the woman who loves me
Debe ser sin pretensiones
Must be unpretentious
Pa' que esté de mi medida
To be a match for me
Para gallos mi Jalisco
When it comes to roosters, my Jalisco
Mi mero Guadalajara
My very own Guadalajara
Les pregunto a los señores
I ask you gentlemen
Los que son apostadores
Those of you who are gamblers
Cuando ponen a su gallo
When you put your rooster up
Y si quieren les apuesto
And if you want, I'll bet you
Mi dinero, y mi pistola
My money, and my pistol
Mi montura y mi caballo
My saddle and my horse
Las carreras de caballos
The horse races
Y los naipes de colores
And the colorful playing cards
Para mí son pura vida
To me, that's the good life
Y el amor que a mí me quiera
And the woman who loves me
Debe ser sin pretensiones
Must be unpretentious
Pa' que este de mi medida
To be a match for me
