Testo Gallo Del Cielo - Tom Russell feat. Joe Ely

Testo della canzone Gallo Del Cielo (Tom Russell feat. Joe Ely), tratta dall'album Wounded Heart of America

This is a song called Gallo Del Cielo

Carlos Zaragoza

Left his home in Casas Grandes

When the moon was full

He had no money in his pocket

Just a locket of his sister

Framed in gold

He headed for El Sueco

And stole a rooster named Gallo Del Cielo

And then he crossed the Rio Grande

With that rooster nestled deep beneath his arm

Gallo Del Cielo

Was a rooster born in heaven

So the legends say

His wings they had been broken

He had one eye

Rollin' crazy in his head

He'd fought a hundred fights

And the legends say that one night

Near El Sueco

They fought Cielo seven times

Seven times he left brave roosters dead

Hola, my Theresa

I'm thinking of you now in San Antonio

I have 27 dollars

And the good luck of your picture framed in gold

Tonight I'll put it all

On the fighting spurs of Gallo Del Cielo

And I'll return to buy the land

Pancho Villa stole from father long ago

Outside of San Diego

In the onion fields of Paco Monteverde

The Pride of San Diego

Lay sleeping on a fancy bed of silk

And they laughed when Zaragoza

Pulled the one-eyed Del Cielo from beneath his coat

But they cried when Zaragoza

Walked away with a thousand dollar bill

Hola, my Theresa

I am thinking of you now in Santa Barbara

I have fifteen hundred dollars

And the good luck of your picture framed in gold

Tonight I'll put it all

On the fighting spurs of Gallo Del Cielo

And I'll return to buy the land

Pancho Villa stole from father long ago

Now the moon has gone to hiding

And the lantern light spills shadows on the fighting sand

A wicked black named Zorro

Faces Del Cielo in the night

And Carlos Zaragoza

Fears the tiny crack that runs across his rooster's beak

And he fears he has lost

The fifty thousand dollars riding on the fight

Hola, my Theresa

I am thinking of you now in Santa Clara

Well, the money's on the table

I am holding now your good luck framed in gold

Everything we've dreamed of

Is riding on the spurs of Del Cielo

And I'll return to buy the land

Pancho Villa stole from father long ago

The signal it was given

And the roosters rose together far above the sand

Gallo del Cielo

Sunk a gaff into Zorro's shiny breast

They were separated quickly

But they rose and fought each other time, and time again

And the legends all agreed

Gallo del Cielo fought the best

Then the screams of Zaragoza

Filled the night outside the town of Santa Clara

As the beak of del Cielo

Lay broken like a shell within his hand

And they say that Zaragoza

Screamed a curse upon the bones of Pancho Villa

As Zorro rose up one more time

And drove Del Cielo in the sand

Hola, my Theresa

I'm thinking of you now in San Francisco

I have no money in my pocket

I no longer have your locket framed in gold

I buried it last evening

With the bones of my beloved Del Cielo

I will not return

To buy the land that Villa stole long ago

Do the rivers still run muddy

Outside of my beloved Casas Grandes?

Does the scar upon my brother's face

Turn red when he hears a mention of my name?

And do the people of El Sueco

Still curse the theft of Gallo del Cielo?

Tell my family not to worry

I will not return to cause them shame

Alright
