Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Hoy Platiqué Con Mi Gallo by Vicente Fernández from Spanish to English.
Túpele mi gallo
Hit him, my rooster
Ora, mi gente
Come on, my people
Cántale bonito
Sing it pretty
Hoy platiqué con mi gallo
Today I talked with my rooster
Y me dijo tristemente
And he told me sadly
¿Pa qué me cuidaste tanto
Why'd you look after me so much
Si hoy me lanzas a la muerte?
If today you throw me to my death?
¿Pa qué me cuidaste tanto
Why'd you look after me so much
Si hoy me lanzas a la muerte?
If today you throw me to my death?
Y yo le dije mi amigo
And I told him, my friend
Aquí en confianza te digo
Here, in confidence, I tell you
Por una maldita apuesta
Because of a d*mn bet
Quieren acabar conmigo
They want to finish me off
Por una maldita apuesta
Because of a d*mn bet
Quieren acabar conmigo
They want to finish me off
El gallo sintió de pronto que estaba hirviendo su sangre
The rooster suddenly felt that his blood was boiling
Y ya puesta la navaja, le dijo 'voy a salvarte
And with the blade already on, he said, 'I'm gonna save you'
Que ya suelten ese giro
'Let them set that giro loose now'
Tu deuda voy a pagarles'
'I'm gonna pay them your debt'
En menos de tres patadas acabó con su rival
In less than three kicks he finished off his rival
Pero también aquel gallo le hizo una herida mortal
But that rooster also gave him a mortal wound
Y ahí juré que a un amigo
And there I swore that a friend
No se debe traicionar
shouldn't be betrayed
Ajaja esos son amigos
Haha, those are friends
El llanto cubrió mis ojos
Tears covered my eyes
Sentí vergüenza al mirarlo
I felt shame when I looked at him
Iba a perder a mi amigo
I was about to lose my friend
Por la mitad de un centavo
For half a cent
Iba a perder a mi amigo
I was about to lose my friend
Por la mitad de un centavo
For half a cent
Mejor me voy con mi gallo
I'd better go with my rooster
Me regreso pa mi tierra
I'm going back to my land
Allá me espera mi gente
There my people wait for me
Y a mi gallo su gallera
And for my rooster, his pit
Allá me espera mi gente
There my people wait for me
Y a mi gallo su gallera
And for my rooster, his pit
El gallo sintió de pronto que estaba hirviendo su sangre
The rooster suddenly felt that his blood was boiling
Y ya puesta la navaja, le dijo 'voy a salvarte
And with the blade already on, he said, 'I'm gonna save you'
Que ya suelten ese giro
'Let them set that giro loose now'
Tu deuda voy a pagarles'
'I'm gonna pay them your debt'
En menos de tres patadas, acabó con su rival
In less than three kicks, he finished off his rival
Pero también aquel gallo le hizo una herida mortal
But that rooster also gave him a mortal wound
Y ahí juré que a un amigo
And there I swore that a friend
No se debe traicionar
shouldn't be betrayed
