El Tahúr Lyrics in English Vicente Fernández
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song El Tahúr by Vicente Fernández from Spanish to English.
Martín Estrada Contreras
Martín Estrada Contreras
Un tahúr profesional
A professional gambler
Tuvo un amor desde niño
He had a love since he was a child
Que nunca pudo olvidar
That he could never forget
Puso sus ojos muy altos
He set his sights very high
El hijo del caporal
The son of the foreman
Raúl Vidal, hombre rico
Raúl Vidal, rich man
Le robó a Martín su amor
He stole Martín's love
Con un balazo en la pierna
With a bullet in the leg
Del pueblo Martín partió
Martín left the town
Pasado el tiempo, regresa
After some time, he returned
Y casada ya la encontró
And he found her married
Volvió Martín ya muy rico
Martín returned already very rich
Con Raúl vino a jugar
He came to play with Raúl
Pero Raúl perdió todo
But Raúl lost everything
Ya no tenía qué apostar
He had nothing left to bet
Tú tienes algo en la vida
You have something in life
Que yo no pude alcanzar
That I could not reach
Va todo lo que yo tengo
Everything I have is in it
Si su amor quieres jugar
If you want to play with her love
Raúl se quedó pensando
Raúl was left thinking
Y al fin decidió aceptar
And finally decided to accept
Le destaparon cuatro ases
Four aces were revealed to him
Se sintió Raúl morir
Raúl felt like he was dying
Del juego, así son las leyes
From gambling, that's how the laws are
Hay que aprender a sufrir
You have to learn to suffer
Raúl tenía cuatro reyes
Raúl had four kings
No había ni qué discutir
There was nothing to discuss
Mira Raúl
Look Raúl
Pa mí las deudas de juego
For me, gambling debts
Son siempre deudas de honor
Are always debts of honor
Te gané
I beat you
Te gané lo que más quiero
I beat you what I love the most
Ya había otra deuda anterior
There was already another previous debt
Creo que ya estamos a mano
I think we're already at hand
Y me pagas ahora mismo
And you pay me right now
Si te queda algo de honor
If you have any honor left
Raúl volvió con su esposa
Raúl returned with his wife
Y al abrir Martín la puerta
And when Martín opened the door
Vidal descargo su arma
Vidal unloaded his weapon
Y cayó su esposa muerta
And his wife fell dead
Martín la tomó en sus brazos
Martín took her in his arms
Y mirando a su rival
And looking at his rival
Sacó también su pistola
He also took out his pistol
Y mató a don Raúl Vidal
And killed Don Raúl Vidal
