Lyrics of Chuy Espinoza (El Michoacano) - Los Tucanes De Tijuana

Chuy Espinoza (El Michoacano) (original)

Al palenque rondaba la muerte
Mientras los gallos se degollaban
Los galleros apostaban fuerte
Y la muerte su plan estudiaba
No venia por el rojo ni el verde
Si no por alguien mas que pesaba
Termino la jugada de gallos
Y empeso a retirarse la gente
Cuando chuy espinoza salia
Alguien le totoquiaba la muerte
Por la espalda le llego ese dia
Y murio sin poder defenderse
No era facil llegarle de frente
Ya las pruebas se las habia dado
Era gallo de varios palenques
Al peligro estaba acostumbrado
Como no hiba a ser hombre valiente
Si era 100% michoacano
!!puro michoacan y jalisco compa
Y echele primo!
No se sabe por que lo mataron
Se sospecha que fue por envidia
Por que chuy espinoza era grande
Derrepente se fue para arriba
Y pues ya no podian con el hombre
Por eso le quitaron la vida
Su pasion en la vida los gallos
Y tambien las hermosas mujeres
Ni se diga los carros del ano
El dinero le daba placeres
Cada rato agarraba la banda
Pero siempre cumplia sus deberes
Adios compa jesus espinoza
Tus amigos jamas te olvidamos
California, jalisco y las cruzes
Los terrenos que juntos pisamos
Michoacan se le cocina aparte
Un saludo de tus 7 gallos…

(translation)

At the palenque death was around
While the roosters slaughtered each other
The galleros bet strong
And death studied its plan
He did not come for the red or the green
If not for someone else who weighed
I finish the play of roosters
And people started to leave
when chuy espinoza left
Someone totoquia death
From behind came that day
And he died without being able to defend himself
It was not easy to get to him head on
I had already given the tests
He was a rooster from several palenques
He was used to danger
How could I not be a brave man
If he was 100% Michoacan
!! pure michoacan and jalisco compa
And check it out cousin!
It is not known why they killed him
It is suspected that it was out of envy
because chuy espinoza was great
Suddenly it went up
And then they couldn't with the man
That's why they took his life
His passion in life is roosters
And also the beautiful women
Not to mention the cars of the year
Money gave him pleasures
Every time he grabbed the band
But he always fulfilled his duties
Goodbye compa Jesus Espinoza
Your friends never forget you
California, Jalisco and Las Cruzes
The lands that together we tread
Michoacan is cooked separately
Greetings from your 7 roosters…
