Caballo Alazan Lucero

Caballo alazán lucero que por ligero

Horse chestnut star, how swift you were

Que bueno fuiste

How good you were

Ganaste muchas careras yo bien recuerdo

You won many races, I remember well

Nuca perdiste

You never lost

Jamás tuviste derrota de costa a costa

You never suffered defeat from coast to coast

No fue mentiras

It wasn't lies

Asta que llego esa yegua por quien perdieras asta la vida

Until that mare came, for whom you would lose even your life

Sus ojos también oscuros clavo en los tuyos

Her eyes, also dark, nailed into yours

Como diciendo que en esa quinientas barras tu la dejaras

As if saying that in those five hundred yards, you would let her arrive first

Llegar primero

Arrive first

Lo tengo muy bien presente toda la gente por ti apostaba

I have it very present, everyone was betting on you

Y tu dueño muy seguro su gran fortuna se la jugaba

And your owner, very sure, risked his great fortune

Al salir de partid ero vi. que la yegua casi volaba

Leaving the starting gate, I saw that the mare almost flew

Y tu sin correr ligero dándole tiempo a que te ganara

And you, not running swiftly, giving her time to win

Caballo alazán lucero cual caballero con una dama

Horse chestnut star, like a gentleman with a lady

La fortuna de tu dueño por cuerpo y medio quedo en la nada

Your owner's fortune, by a body and a half, ended up in nothing

Tu dueño desesperado echando mano de su pistola

Your owner, desperate, reaching for his pistol

Si todo me lo an ganado este caballo solo me sobra

If they have won everything from me, I only have this horse left

Y no dando tiempo a nada con cinco balas rodaste herido

And not giving time for anything, with five bullets, you fell wounded

Callistas junta a la yegua tu que por ella habías perdido

Quietly next to the mare, you who had lost for her

Moriste viendo a la yegua como desciendo esta usted servida

You died watching the mare, as I descend, you are served

Caballo alazán lucero hoy tu recuerdo no se me olvida !

Horse chestnut star, today your memory is not forgotten!
