"You should never look down on

Al que ha servido toda una vida

Those who have given everything,

Por que el que lo hace es muy cruel

For those who do are cruel

Y nunca podra adivinar

Como sera su partida"

Y alla en el potrero,

And there on the pasture,

Como viejo está

Hay que ayudarlo a que muera,

Para que no sufra mas

So that he no longer suffers

Siempre fuiste el mas certero

You have always been the best,

Y por eso debes su mal aliviar

Como pretende que yo,

How do you expect me,

Que lo crié desde potrillo,

Who raised him from a colt

Clave en su pecho un cuchillo,

To strike his chest with a knife,

Por que el patrón lo ordeno,

Just because the boss ordered it?

Dejenlo no mas pastar,

Let him continue to pasture,

No rechacen mi consejo

Don't turn down my advice

Que yo lo voy a enterrar

For I will bury him

Cuando se muera de viejo

Junto al estero del valle,
