Translation

Caballo que no galopa

Horse that doesn't gallop

Va derecho al pisadero

Goes straight to the piss yard

Y al que lo topa la muerte

And whoever meets death

Va derechito al infierno

Goes straight to hell


Andar solo y galopando

Walking alone and galloping

Como quien se va perdiendo

Like someone who is getting lost

Con el alma dolorida

With a wounded soul

Caminito de los cerros

On the little path of the hills


Andar solo y galopando

Walking alone and galloping

Como quien se va nomas

Like someone who just goes

Las lágrimas bajo el poncho

Tears under the poncho

Porque no es de hombre llorar

Because it's not manly to cry


Mi caballito querido

My beloved little horse

Esta te pido nomas

This I ask of you only

Nos han echado los perros

The dogs have been set on us

Pero no me han de alcanzar

But they won't catch me


Caballo que no galopa

Horse that doesn't gallop

Va derecho al pisadero

Goes straight to the piss yard

Estrella que no hace noche

Star that doesn't make night

Se alumbra con el lucero

Is illuminated by the evening star


Soy jinete de la noche

I am a rider of the night

Voy galopando hacia el alba

I gallop towards dawn

Ando lejos de mi tierra

I am far from my land

Por no vender mi guitarra

Not to sell my guitar


Soy jinete de la noche

I am a rider of the night

Algún día aclarara

Someday it will clear

Solo le pido a mi tierra

I only ask my land

Que no me quiera olvidar

Not to forget me


Mi caballito querido

My beloved little horse

Esta te pido nomas

This I ask of you only

Nos han echado los perros

The dogs have been set on us

Pero no me han de alcanzar

But they won't catch me
