The song "El Tahúr" by Vicente Fernández tells the story of a professional gambler named Martín who had a love that he could never forget since he was young. Unfortunately, his love was stolen by a rich man named Raúl Vidal, who shot Martín in the leg, causing him to leave his hometown. After some time, Martín returns and finds out that his love is now married.
Martín comes back wealthy and challenges Raúl to a game, knowing that he has nothing left to bet. Raúl, intrigued by the offer, decides to accept. However, Martín reveals four aces, while Raúl has four kings. It is clear that Martín has won.
In a spoken interlude, Martín reveals that for him, gambling debts are always a matter of honor. He claims that he has now won what he cares about the most and that there was a previous debt that needed to be settled. He demands payment from Raúl, if he still has any honor left.
Raúl returns home with his wife, and when Martín opens the door, Raúl shoots and kills his own wife. In response, Martín takes his gun and kills Raúl Vidal.
The message conveyed by the lyrics is one of revenge and justice. Martín seeks revenge against Raúl for stealing his love and causing him pain. Ultimately, Martín's actions lead to justice being served, as he avenges his lost love and settles the debt between him and Raúl. The lyrics also hint at the price of gambling and the consequences it can have on lives, emphasizing the need to learn to suffer and accept the laws of the game.
