Red Rooster

Gallo Rojo

There was a time when you were strongHubo tiempo que eras fuerte
And fought like a roosterY peleabas como un gallo
Brave red roosterGallo rojo tan valiente
Commander of this neighborhoodComandante de este barrio
It didn't matter if they were tenNo importaba si eran diez
If they were twenty or if they were a thousandSi eran veinte o si eran mil
You were the great sun of MayEras grande sol de mayo
Today people are asleepHoy la gente va dormida
No one can wake you upNadie puede despertarte

That's why I ask youEs por eso que te pido
Not to return to lifeQue no vuevas a la vida
To awaken all the bloodQue despiertes a toda la sangre
That is asleepQue esta dormida
One day this blockAlgun dia esta cuadra
Will be as you wantedVa a ser como vos querias
And tomorrow the whole neighborhoodY mañana sera todo el barrio
Will follow youEl que te siga

When the tide risesCuando suba la marea
I'll stay in this neighborhoodYo me quedo en este barrio
Because I wear your shoesPorque llevo tus zapatos
And your blood walking.Y tu sangre caminando.

And tomorrow there will be ten,Y mañana seran diez,
There will be twenty or there will be a thousandSeran veinte o seran mil
By your side sun of MayA tu lado sol de mayo

There was a time when you foughtHubo tiempo que peleabas
And that time is coming.Y ese tiempo va llegando.
