El Turco

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hasta el carril el coyote pa clasificar las bestias
Seis mil dólares de importe
Y así se abrieron las puertas
Desde la cuadra Macías
Desembarcaron al turco
4 carreras traía de perdido nomás uno
Festejaremos el triunfo
Los metieron a las trampas traian pa clasificar de esa cuadra potosina filo lo biene a cuidar Javier Hernández lo guía
Con la intención de ganar
Al jugar la primer tercia
Muy cerradito se puso
Muchos perdieron su apuesta
El requesón fue el segundo
El último fue él guitarras
a los picos ganó el turco
Maturiti en su final
También se llevó el trofeo
Contra el calibre 50 también le ganó al regreso en cuidad
Mc camey Texas
Muchos testigos lo vieron
Si triunfo están festejando
En el rancho la bisnaga
Crisóforo anda contento
Cerquita de matehuala
Al turco están preparando
Por si otro sayo le salta
The song "El Turco" by Lara & Reyes narrates the story of a horse race in Houston, Texas. The lyrics tell us that the horses arrived ready to win the championship, but they had to pass through tough obstacles to do so. The riders had to pay a significant amount of money to participate and finally got the chance to compete after they arrived at Coyote's Lane. From the stables Macías, they brought in a horse known as "El Turco," which had lost four races and won just one. Despite his losing record, Crisóforo, the owner, believed in his ability to win.
The song goes on to describe the race in detail. In the first round of the race, "El Turco" struggled but managed to secure a second-place finish. In the second and last round, "El Turco" rode strong and won the race, beating out several other horses, including "El Requesón" and "La Guitarra." The song ends on a celebratory note, with the owners having a massive party back in their hometown.
Overall, the song is a celebration of the underdog, showcasing the triumph of perseverance and hard work. It also highlights the excitement and thrill that comes with horse racing.
