Los Hernandez se trajeron
The Hernandez brought
A un hermoso potrillo
A beautiful young colt
Que por cierto le dijeron
Who, indeed, they named
Te llamaras palomino
You will be called 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
Rode Pascual Hernandez
Volaba por los caminos
Flying along the roads
Como retando a los grandes
As if challenging the great ones
Sabia que aquel palomino
He knew that that palomino
Siempre salia por delante
Always came out ahead
Año del noventa y uno
In the year '91
El mes de agosto corria
In the month of August it happened
Murio el numero uno

Quien sabe por que seria
Who knows why it would be
Nunca jamas habra uno
Never again will there be one
En todas las rancherias

Adios les dice su amigo

El que compuso el corrido

A todos los de Jerez, Jaleras y el Zalitrillo

Jamas veran a un caballo

Del pelo del palomino
With the coat of the palomino
