(Juan Luis Guerra)
Perdí en la gallera
mi gallo candela
¡oh! ¡oh!
Perdí en la gallera
mi tierra, mi finca
mi casa, mi perro
¡ay, ombe! ¡ombe!
Oye, perdí en la gallera
mi mejor espuela
¡oh! ¡oh!
Perdí en la gallera
mi traje cruzado
que traje de fuera
Perdí en la gallera
mi gallo candela
mi portamonedas
perdí en la gallera
mi puesto de frutas
de la carretera
y eso a mí me pasa
por jugar en gallera
¡Ay, ombe! ¡ombe!
¡oh! ¡oh!
¡ehehia! ¡eheia!
¡ombe! ¡ombe!
Sigo: perdí en la gallera
toda la parcela
¡oh! ¡oh!
Perdí en la gallera
mi vaso de flores
mi silla de guano
¡ay, ombe! ¡ombe!
Sigo: perdí en la gallera
mi vieja litera
¡oh! ¡oh!
Perdí en la gallera
mi armario, mis gafas, mi ropa
mi reloj [de] pulsera
Perdí en la gallera, ¡beh!
mi gallo candela
ya nada me queda
perdí en la gallera
maldita gallera
de la carretera
eso a mí me pasa
por jugar en gallera
¡Ay, ombe! ¡ombe!
¡oh! ¡oh!
¡ehehia! ¡eheia!
¡ombe! ¡ombe!
Perdí en la gallera
mi gallo candela
mi mejor espuela
perdí en la gallera
maldita gallera
de la carretera
y eso a mí me pasa
por jugar en gallera
¡Tablas! ¡Tablas!
Perdí en la gallera
mi gallo candela
mi traje de seda
perdí en la gallera
maldita gallera, ¡beh!
de la carretera
y eso a mí me pasa
por jugar en gallera
¡Tablas! ¡Tablas, Tomás!
Perdí en la gallera
mi gallo candela
mi mejor espuela
perdí en la gallera
maldita gallera, ¡beh!
de la carretera
y eso a mí me pasa
por jugar en gallera
[Improv.]
Mi conuco, mi trabajo
mi mesita de apostar
(mi gallo candela)
y mi Registro
Electoral
(perdí en la gallera)
mi piloncito de majar
mi guavaberry, mi
puñal
mi casa, mi tierra, mi
cerro
(de la carretera)
mi almohada, mi
techo
mi alma, y hasta mi
morena
(por jugar en gallera)
¡Uehei! ¡Oh, oh,
oh!...
The lyrics LA GALLERA of JUAN LUIS GUERRA is also present in the album Ojalá que llueva café (1990)
Juan Luis Guerra Seijas, nato a Santo Domingo il 7 giugno 1956, è un cantante, musicista e compositore dominicano considerato uno dei principali esponenti della musica latinoamericana. Guerra ha saputo fondere elementi tradizionali della musica dominicana, come il merengue e la bachata, con influenze jazzistiche e pop, creando un sound originale che ha definito "mamborengue". I suoi testi, spesso ispirati alla fede cristiana e all'amore per la sua terra natale, sono caratterizzati da una vena di umorismo e ironia. La sua carriera musicale è iniziata negli anni '70 con il gruppo 440, ma è a partire dagli anni '80 che ha raggiunto fama internazionale grazie a album come "Privé" (1985) e "Ojalá" (1992). Nel corso della sua lunga carriera, Guerra ha vinto 18 Grammy Award nel genere musica latina, consolidando il suo status di artista leggendario. Tra i suoi brani più famosi ricordiamo "Añoro tu presencia", "Visa para un sueño", "La bili" e "Bachata en Fukuoka".
