Lyrics and translation La Original Banda El Limón de Salvador Lizárraga - El Caballo Prieto Azabache

El Caballo Prieto Azabache

Caballo prieto azabache,
Como olvidarte te debo la vida.
Cuando iban a fusilarme,
Las fuerzas leales de Pancho Villa.
Fue aquella noche nublada,
Una avanzada me sorprendioooo.
Y... después de... de... sar... marme,
Fui condenado al paredón.
Ya cuando estuve en capilla,
Le dijo villa a su asistente,
Me apartas ese caballo
Por educado y obediente.
Sabia que no iba a escaparme,
Solo pensaba en mi salvación,
Y... tu mi prie... to.a.za.bache
Tambien pensaste igual que yo.
Recuerdo que me dijeron
Pide un deseo pa' justiciarte
Yo quiero morir monta'o en mi caballo
Prieto azabache.
Y cuando en ti me montaron
Y prepararon, la ejecucución,
Mi... voz... de man... do.es.peraste
Te abalanzaste sobre el pelotón.
Con tres balazos de mauser,
Corriste azabache, salvando mi vida,
Lo que tu hiciste conmigo
Caballo amigo no se me olvida.
No pude salvar la tuya,
Y la amargura me hace llorar,
Por eso prie... to a.za... bache,
No he de olvidarte nunca jamás.

The Coal Black Horse

Coal black horse,
How can I forget you, I owe you my life.
When they were about to shoot me,
Pancho Villa's loyal forces.
It was that cloudy night,
An advance surprised me.
And... after... sur... rounding... me,
I was sentenced to the firing squad.
When I was in the chapel,
Villa said to his assistant,
Take that horse away from me,
Because he is well-mannered and obedient.
I knew I wasn't going to escape,
I just thought about my salvation,
And... you, my co... al... ble... ack
You also thought the same as me.
I remember they told me,
Make a wish to justify yourself
I want to die riding my horse
Coal black.
And when they rode me on you,
and they prepared the execution,
My... vo... ice... of com... mand... you waited,
You charged at the firing squad.
With three Mauser bullets,
You ran, coal black, saving my life,
What you did to me,
My dear horse, I will never forget.
I couldn't save yours,
And the bitterness makes me cry,
That's why co... al... bla... ck,
I will never forget you.
