Paroles et traduction Javier Calamaro - El Corralero

El Corralero

El Corralero
Tan mimado el corralero
Que hay en el potrero como viejo esta
Hay que ayudarlo a que muera
Para que no sufra mas
Siempre fuiste el mas certero
Y por eso debes su mal aliviar
Como pretenden que yo
Que lo cuide de potrillo
Clave en su pecho un cuchillo
Porque el patron lo ordeno
Y dejenlo no mas pastar
No rechazen mi consejo

Que yo lo voy a enterrar
Cuando se muera de viejo
Que yo lo voy a enterrar
Cuando se muera de viejo

Junto al estero del bajo
Lo encontre tendido
Casi al expirar
Me acerque muy lentamente
Y se lo quise explicar
Pero al perlo resignado
Me temblo loa mano
Y me puse a llorar
Como pretenden que yo
Que lo cuide de potrillo
Clave en su pecho un cuchillo
Porque el patron lo ordeno
Y dejenlo no mas pastar
No rechazen mi consejo

Que yo lo voy a enterrar
Cuando se muera de viejo
Que yo lo voy a enterrar
Cuando se muera de viejo

The Corralero

The Corralero
The corralero is so pampered
That there's no one like him in the paddock
We must help him to die
So that he doesn't suffer any more
You've always been the most accurate
And that's why you must relieve his pain
How do you expect me
Who have cared for him since he was a colt
To plunge a knife into his chest
Because the boss ordered it
And let him graze no more
Don't reject my advice

That I will bury him
When he dies of old age
That I will bury him
When he dies of old age

By the estuary in the marshes
I found him lying down
Almost at his last breath
I approached very slowly
And I tried to explain it to him
But seeing him so resigned
My hand trembled
And I started to cry
How do you expect me
Who have cared for him since he was a colt
To plunge a knife into his chest
Because the boss ordered it
And let him graze no more
Don't reject my advice

That I will bury him
When he dies of old age
That I will bury him
When he dies of old age
