Paroles et traduction Diego Herrera feat. Leandro Ríos & Luis Alfonso Partida El Yaki - Potro Lobo Gateado

Potro Lobo Gateado

En una manada vide un potro que me gustaba
Me fui con el hacendado, señor tengo una tratada
Quiero que me de un caballo, por mi yegua colorada

Cual caballo es el que quieres, le contesto el hacendado
Un potro Lobo Gateado, que ayer vide en el corral
Que charros y caporales no lo han podido amanzar

Te doy 1,500 pesos, y el potro te lo regalo
Al cabo yo había pensado, meterlo por malo y caro
Que a charros y caporales, a todos habia tumbado

Luego que ya se hizo de el, el charro le hecho una hablada
Ahora juegas mi caballo con su yegua colorada
La carrera la dejamos, pa'l día de la Candelaria

Le contesta el hacendado, no pienses que tengo miedo
Vámonos pa' la oficina a depositar el dinero
La carrera la dejamos para el 3 de Febrero

Por fin se llego la fecha, de la carrera afamada
Volaban pesos tronchados a la yegua colorada
Y al potro Lobo Gateado, ni quien le apostara nada

Se arrancan del partidero, y el caballo no cedía
Toda la gente decía, que caballo tan violento
Nomás alas le faltaban, para volar por el viento

A la yegua colorada, que de sangre era muy fina
Todos le tenían respeto, por ligera y por ladina
Y el potro Lobo Gateado, le quito lo presumida

Ya con esta me despido, dispensen lo mal cantado
Aquí termina el corrido de un charro y un hacendado
De la yegua colorada y el potro Lobo Gateado

Galloping Gray Colt

In a herd I saw a colt that I liked
I went to the rancher, sir I have a deal
I want you to give me a horse, for my reddish-brown mare

Which horse do you want, the rancher said
A gray gaited colt, that I saw yesterday in the corral
That cowboys and foremen haven't been able to tame

I'll give you 1,500 pesos, and I'll give you the colt
Because I was thinking about getting rid of him, for being bad and expensive
That to cowboys and foremen, he had thrown them all

Once he had him, the cowboy spoke to him
Now you play my horse with your reddish-brown mare
We'll leave the race, for Candlemas Day

The rancher answered him, don't think I'm scared
Let's go to the office to deposit the money
We'll leave the race for February 3rd

Finally the date arrived, famous race
They were betting folded pesos on the reddish-brown mare
And on the gray gaited colt, no one bet anything

They start from the starting gate, and the horse didn't give in
All the people said, what a spirited horse
All he needed was wings to fly with the wind

The reddish-brown mare, that was of very fine blood
Everyone respected her, for being fast and cunning
And the gray gaited colt, took away her pride

Now with this I say goodbye, excuse me for singing badly
Here ends the ballad of a cowboy and a rancher
Of the reddish-brown mare and the gray gaited colt
