El Ratón Vaquero

In the mouse trap
a mouse has fallen,
with his two guns
and his cowboy suit.

He must be a little gringo,
because he always speaks English,
besides being blond
and having big feet.

The cowboy mouse
pulled out his guns,
tipped his hat
and said to me alone:

-What the heck
is this house
for a manly
cowboy mouse?

Hello, you
let me out
and don't catch me
like a trout!

Is that so?
It's clear
that you're not comfortable there,
and even if you speak English
I won't let you out.

Behind the strong bars
that guard the prison
he moves his ears
pleading for compassion.

The cunning one said
he will reform,
and even if he speaks Chinese
even then I won't release him.

The cowboy mouse
fired two shots,
sucked the bullets
and crossed his arms.

-What the heck
is this house
for a manly
cowboy mouse?

Hello, you
let me out
and don't catch me
like a trout!
