lyrics

Soy como los gavilanes
que traen el pico afilado
no cargo garras prestadas
y en cualquier corral me paro

Tengo gustos especiales
no cualquier pichon me llevo
ando buscando pollitas
de las que no han puesto huevo

Vijilando gallineros
me divierto muy a gusto
tengo que amansar los gallos
pa que no me den un susto

Si me sorprende un coyote
correteando mi pollita
no ha de faltar zopilote
que consuele a la viudita

Las gallinas cuando quieren
dejan al gallo dormido
brincan al corral ajeno
y se meten a otro nido

Yo por esa gallinita
dejaria de ser pollero
es la que me trae con ganas
de asaltar el gallinero



English Translation:

I am like a hawk
With a sharpened beak
I don’t carry borrowed claws
And I’ll stand in any corral

I have special tastes
I don’t take just any pigeon
I am looking for chicks
That have yet to lay an egg

Keeping an eye on chicken shacks
I enjoy very much
I have to tame the roosters
So they don’t catch me by surprise

If a coyote startles me
Chasing my chick
There is no lack of vultures
To console the widow

When the hens want
They leave the roosters sleeping
Jump over to a different corral
And climb into another nest

For that little chicken
I’d quit being a poulterer
She’s the one that provokes me
Into storming the chicken shack
