Gallo del Cielo - Tom Russell (汤姆罗素)/Katy Moffatt[00:00:00]

Written by：Tom Russell[00:00:01]

Carlos zaragoza left his home in casas grandes when the moon was full[00:00:25]

No money in his pocket just a locket of his sister framed in gold[00:00:33]

He rode into el sueco stole a rooster called gallo del cielo[00:00:40]

Then he swam the rio grande with that fighter nestled[00:00:48]

Deep beneath his arm[00:00:51]

El gallo del cielo was a rooster born in heaven so the legends say[00:00:56]

His wings they had been broken he had one eye[00:01:04]

Rollin' crazy in his head[00:01:07]

And he'd fought a hundred fights and the legends say[00:01:12]

That one night near el sueco[00:01:15]

They'd fought gallo seven times and seven times he'd[00:01:19]

Left brave roosters dead[00:01:22]

Hola my theresa I am thinking of you now in san antonio[00:01:26]

I have 27 dollars and the good luck of your picture[00:01:33]

Framed in gold[00:01:37]

Tonight I'll put it all on the fighting spurs of gallo del cielo[00:01:39]

And then I'll return to buy the land villa stole[00:01:47]

From father long ago[00:01:50]

Outside of san diego in the onion fields of paco monteverde[00:01:55]

The pride of san diego lay sleeping on a fancy bed of silk[00:02:03]

And they laughed when zaragoza pulled the one eyed[00:02:11]

Del cielo from beneath his coat[00:02:14]

But they cried when zaragoza walked away with a[00:02:19]

Thousand dollar bill[00:02:22]

Hola my theresa I am thinking of you now in santa barbara[00:02:26]

I have fifteen hundred dollars and the good luck of[00:02:33]

Your picture framed in gold[00:02:36]

Tonight I'll put it all on the fighting spurs of gallo del cielo[00:02:39]

And then I'll return to buy the land villa stole[00:02:47]

From father long ago[00:02:50]

Now the moon has gone to hiding and the lantern light[00:02:55]

Spills shadows on a fighting sand[00:02:58]

Where a wicked black named zorro faces gallo del cielo in the night[00:03:03]

But carlos zaragoza fears the tiny crack that runs across his rooster's beak[00:03:11]

And he fears he has lost the fifty thousand dollars riding on the fight[00:03:19]

Hola my theresa I am thinking of you now in santa clara[00:03:26]

Yes the money's on the table I am holding to[00:03:33]

Your good luck framed in gold[00:03:36]

And everything we've dreamed of is riding on the spurs of del cielo[00:03:39]

I pray that I'll return to buy the land villa stole from father long ago[00:03:47]

Then the signal it was given and the cocks rose[00:03:55]

Together far above the sand[00:03:58]

El gallo del cielo sunk a gaff into zorro's shiny breast[00:04:03]

They were separated quickly but they rose and fought[00:04:11]

Each other thirty seven times[00:04:14]

And the legends say that everyone agreed that del cielo fought the best[00:04:19]

Then the screams of zaragoza filled the night outside[00:04:28]

The town of santa clara[00:04:31]

As the beak of del cielo lay broken like a shell within his hand[00:04:36]

And they say that zaragoza screamed a curse upon the[00:04:44]

Bones of pancho villa[00:04:47]

When zorro rose up one last time and drove del[00:04:52]

Cielo through the sand[00:04:55]

Hola my theresa I am thinking of you now in[00:04:58]

San Francisco[00:05:02]

I have no money in my pocket I no longer have[00:05:05]

Your good luck framed in gold[00:05:09]

I buried it last evening with the bones of my[00:05:12]

Beloved del cielo[00:05:15]

And I'll not return to buy the land villa stole from[00:05:19]

Father long ago[00:05:23]

Do the rivers still run muddy outside of my beloved[00:05:26]

Casas grandes[00:05:29]

Oes the scar upon my brother's face turn red when[00:05:33]

He hears mention of my name[00:05:36]

Do the people of el sueco curse the theft of gallo del cielo[00:05:39]

Well tell my family not to worry I will not return[00:05:47]

To cause them shame[00:05:50]
