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

[00:00:01] Written by：Tom Russell

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

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

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

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

[00:00:51] Deep beneath his arm

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:01:22] Left brave roosters dead

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

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

[00:01:37] Framed in gold

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

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

[00:01:50] From father long ago

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

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

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

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

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

[00:02:22] Thousand dollar bill

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

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

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

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

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

[00:02:50] From father long ago

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:04:47] Bones of pancho villa

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

[00:04:55] Cielo through the sand

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

[00:05:02] San Francisco

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

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

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

[00:05:15] Beloved del cielo

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

[00:05:23] Father long ago

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

[00:05:29] Casas grandes

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

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

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

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

[00:05:50] To cause them shame
