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
Martin Estrada Contreras
Un tahúr profesional
A professional gambler
Tuvo un amor desde niño
He'd had a love since childhood
Que nunca pudo olvidar
That he could never forget
Puso sus ojos muy altos
He set his sights too high
El hijo del caporal
The foreman's son
Raúl Vidal, hombre rico
Raúl Vidal, a rich man
Le robó a Martín su amor
Stole Martin's love
Con un balazo en la pierna
With a bullet in his leg
Del pueblo Martín partió
Martin left town
Pasado el tiempo, regresa
Time passed; he came back
Y casada ya la encontró
And found her already married
Volvió Martín ya muy rico
Martin came back now rich
Con Raúl vino a jugar
He came to gamble with Raúl
Pero Raúl perdió todo
But Raúl lost it all
Ya no tenía qué apostar
He had nothing left to bet
Tú tienes algo en la vida
You've got something in life
Que yo no pude alcanzar
That I couldn't reach
Va todo lo que yo tengo
Everything I've got is up
Si su amor quieres jugar
If you wanna bet her love
Raúl se quedó pensando
Raúl stopped to think
Y al fin decidió aceptar
And finally chose to accept
Le destaparon cuatro ases
They flipped him four aces
Se sintió Raúl morir
Raúl felt like dying
Del juego, así son las leyes
That's gambling, those are the rules
Hay que aprender a sufrir
You gotta learn to suffer
Raúl tenía cuatro reyes
Raúl had four kings
No había ni qué discutir
There wasn't anything 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 won what I love most
Ya había otra deuda anterior
There was another debt before
Creo que ya estamos a mano
I think we're even now
Y me pagas ahora mismo
And you'll pay me right now
Si te queda algo de honor
If you've got any honor left
Raúl volvió con su esposa
Raúl went back with his wife
Y al abrir Martín la puerta
And when Martin opened the door
Vidal descargo su arma
Vidal fired his gun
Y cayó su esposa muerta
And his wife fell dead
Martín la tomó en sus brazos
Martin held her in his arms
Y mirando a su rival
And staring at his rival
Sacó también su pistola
He pulled his pistol too
Y mató a don Raúl Vidal
And killed Don Raúl Vidal
