Paroles et traduction Carlos y José - El Lucero y la Dama

El Lucero y la Dama

Yo vi correr dos caballos, en la hacienda El Barretal
Uno venia de Palmillas, venia seguro a ganar
Porque sabían que El Lucero, en la tabla iba a quedar

El Lucero era famoso, en La Gavia y El Sausal
Era caballo de estampa, a que bonito animal,
Apostaron sus fortunas, todos los de Tepozan
Pues lo iba a correr Juanita, la hija del caporal

Los contrarios de Lucero, tenían formado su plan
Era matar al caballo, para ellos poder ganar,
A mitad de la carrera, la vida le iba a costar
Con 5 balas de máuser, lo iban a sacrificar

Cuando entraron al carril, El Lucero vio pa atrás
El caballo presentía que algo malo iba a pasar
Pues ya sentía en su pecho, las balas del criminal

Así partió decidido, su suerte no le importo
Cuando iba a media carrera, El Lucero relincho
Se oyeron 5 descargas, que el animal recibió

Lo había marcado el destino, pero eso no le impidió
Con cuerpo y medio adelante, a la meta rebaso,
Pa que ganara Juanita, la dama que lo corrió

The Bright Star and the Lady

I saw two horses running, at the El Barretal ranch
One came from Palmillas, came sure to win
Because they knew that El Lucero, was going to be left behind on the board

El Lucero was famous, in La Gavia and El Sausal
He was a horse of high quality, what a beautiful animal,
Everyone from Tepozan bet their fortunes
Because Juanita, the foreman's daughter, was going to run him

Lucero's opponents had made their plan
It was to kill the horse so that they could win,
Halfway through the race, it was going to cost him his life
With 5 bullets from a Mauser, they were going to sacrifice him

When they entered the lane, El Lucero looked back
The horse sensed that something bad was going to happen
Because he could already feel the bullets of the criminal in his chest

Thus he set out with determination, his fate mattered little to him
When he was halfway through the race, El Lucero neighed
Five shots were heard, which the animal received

Fate had marked him, but that did not stop him
With his body and half a stride ahead, he crossed the finish line,
So that Juanita, the lady who raced him, could win
