Paroles et traduction Antonio Aguilar - Caballo Alazan Lucero

Caballo Alazan Lucero

Caballo alazán lucero
Que por ligero, qué bueno fuiste
Ganaste muchas careras
Yo bien recuerdo, nuca perdiste

Jamás tuviste derrota
De costa a costa, no fue mentira
Hasta que llego esa yegua
Por quien perdieras, hasta la vida

Sus ojos también oscuros
Clavo en los tuyos, como diciendo
"Que en esa quinientas varas, tú la dejaras
Llegar primero"

Lo tengo muy bien presente
Toda la gente por ti apostaba
Y tú dueño muy seguro
Su gran fortuna, se la jugaba

Al salir de partidero
Vi que la yegua, casi volaba
Y tú sin correr ligero
Dándole tiempo a que te ganara

Caballo alazán lucero
Cual caballero con una dama
La fortuna de tu dueño
Por cuerpo y medio, quedo en la nada

Ay, amigos, no solamente hombres y mujeres
También entre caballos y yeguas

Tu dueño desesperado
Echando mano a su pistola
"Si todo me lo han ganado
Este caballo solo me sobra"

Y no dando tiempo a nada
Con cinco balas, rodaste herido
Caíste junta a la yegua
Tú que por ella, habías perdido

Moriste viendo a la yegua
Como desciendo: "está usted servida", ¡ingrata!
Caballo alazán lucero
Hoy tu recuerdo, no se me olvida

Sorrel Horse Lucero

Sorrel horse lucero
You were so good, so fast!
You won many races
As I recall, you never lost

You were never defeated
From coast to coast, it was no lie
Until that mare came along
The one you would lose your life for

Her eyes were also dark
She fixed them on yours, as if to say
"In those five hundred yards, you will let her
arrive first"

I remember it very well
Everyone was betting on you
And your owner was so sure
He was gambling his entire fortune

As you left the paddock
I saw that the mare was almost flying
And you were not running fast
Giving her time to beat you

Sorrel horse lucero
Like a gentleman with a lady
Your owner's fortune
Was lost by a length and a half

Oh, my dear, it's not just men and women
It's also between horses and mares

Your owner was desperate
Reaching for his gun
"If everything has been lost
This horse is all I have left"

And without waiting
With five bullets, you were wounded
You fell next to the mare
You who had lost because of her

You died watching the mare
As she descended: "Your command is my wish", ungrateful girl!
Sorrel horse lucero
Today your memory is still with me
