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 bring a red rooster
Que jamás se me ha rajado
That has never backed down
En el ruedo del palenque
In the arena of the cockpit
En la ferias que ha peleado
In the fights it has fought
Muchos gallos afamados
Many famous roosters
Han perdido lo valiente
Have lost their bravery
La medida en la navaja
The measure in the knife
Para mi gallo nunca es nada
For my rooster means nothing
Se la juega como quiera
He plays it however he wants
Yo le apuesto hasta la vida
I bet even my life on him
Si se trata de jugarla
If it comes to playing
Me la rifo con cualquiera
I take a chance with anyone
Las carreras de caballos
Horse races
Y los naipes de colores
And colorful cards
Para mí son pura vida
For me, they are pure life
Y el amor que a mí me quiera
And the love that wants me
Debe ser sin pretensiones
Must be without pretensions
Para que esté de mi medida
To be on my level
Para gallos mi Jalisco
For roosters, my Jalisco
Mi mero Guadalajara
My beloved Guadalajara
Les pregunto a los señores
I ask the gentlemen
Los que son apostadores
Those who are gamblers
Cuando ponen a su gallo
When they bet on their rooster
Y si quieren les apuesto
And if they want, I'll bet them
Mi dinero, y mi pistola
My money, and my gun
Mi montura y mi caballo
My saddle and my horse
Las carreras de caballos
Horse races
Y los naipes de colores
And colorful cards
Para mí son pura vida
For me, they are pure life
Y el amor que a mí me quiera
And the love that wants me
Debe ser sin pretensiones
Must be without pretensions
Para que este de mi medida
To be on my level
