Gallo Rojo

Hubo tiempo que eras fuerte

There was a time when you were strong

Y peleabas como un gallo

And you fought like a rooster

Gallo rojo tan valiente

Brave red rooster

Comandante de este barrio

Commander of this neighborhood

No importaba si eran diez

It didn't matter if they were ten

Si eran veinte o si eran mil

Whether they were twenty or a thousand

Eras grande sol de mayo

You were the great sun of May

Hoy la gente va dormida

Today, people are asleep

Nadie puede despertarte

No one can wake you up

Es por eso que te pido

That's why I ask you

Que no vuevas a la vida

Not to return to life

Que despiertes a toda la sangre

To wake up all the blood

Que esta dormida

That is asleep

Algun dia esta cuadra

Someday this block

Va a ser como vos querias

Will be as you wanted

Y mañana sera todo el barrio

And tomorrow the whole neighborhood

El que te siga

Will follow you

Cuando suba la marea

When the tide rises

Yo me quedo en este barrio

I stay in this neighborhood

Porque llevo tus zapatos

Because I wear your shoes

Y tu sangre caminando.

And your blood is walking

Y mañana seran diez,

And tomorrow there will be ten

Seran veinte o seran mil

There will be twenty or a thousand

A tu lado sol de mayo

By your side, sun of May

Hubo tiempo que peleabas

There was a time when you fought

Y ese tiempo va llegando.

And that time is coming
