De Monterrey y Durango

Los Hernandez se trajeron

A un hermoso potrillo

A beautiful young colt

Que por cierto le dijeron

Who, indeed, they named

Te llamaras palomino

Era un hermoso caballo

He was a beautiful horse

Color oro y fina espuela

Golden-colored with fine spurs

En todas las coliaderas

In all the roundups

Y hasta en las grandes charreadas

And even in the big rodeos

El palomino rifaba

The palomino excelled

Y a todos siempre ganaba

And always won


Pero el destino es muy cruel

But destiny is very cruel

Y no hay quien se le resista

And there's no one who can resist it

Quiso que una cascabel

It wanted that a rattlesnake

Se lo llevara en su lista

Took him on its list

Dejando muerto al corcel

Leaving the horse dead

Y sin dejar ni una pista

And without leaving a clue


En lomos del palomino

On the back of the palomino

Montaba Pascual Hernandez

Volaba por los caminos

Como retando a los grandes

Sabia que aquel palomino

Siempre salia por delante

Año del noventa y uno

El mes de agosto corria

Murio el numero uno

Quien sabe por que seria

Who knows why it would be

Nunca jamas habra uno

En todas las rancherias

Adios les dice su amigo

El que compuso el corrido

A todos los de Jerez, Jaleras y el Zalitrillo

To all those from Jerez, Jaleras, and El Zalitrillo

Jamas veran a un caballo

They will never see a horse

Del pelo del palomino
