The Dog's Game

We were young, all aboard the boat
there was a little dog inside the vessel
with a keen eye, a hunter, not a barker
chasing after the ray, the catch of the day.

I’ll tell you how it went down
with the stingray caught, loose in the nets
flounder escaping, the dog would leap
and right then, he’d snag the ray in his teeth.

The reward for that work we called 'the dog's game'
everyone agreed, it was well-deserved
the beloved hunting dog was a champ
filling the boat with spirits, no doubt.

The time has come to tell you
what kind of dog our Txuriko was
he wouldn’t be scared by monstrous waves
before letting the ray go, he’d drown it first.

On an ugly morning, I won’t forget
how Txuriko jumped in, doing his job
among the big fish, he wouldn’t give up
he was drowned for good with a giant flounder.
