Paroles et traduction Grupo Laberinto - El Bayo Cara Blanca

El Bayo Cara Blanca

Como te va Margarito
Vengo a proponerte un trato
Quiero entrarle a una carrera
Pero no tengo caballo

Ven prestame tu potranca
Asi se lo dijo Arabio
Los gonzales me traen ganas
Van a correr a su bayo

Y traen bastante dinero
Pero no tengo caballo
Si me prestas tu potranca
La apuesta se las empato

Les contesto margarito
Solo ahi una condicion
A mi portanca la loba
Yo le pongo el corredor
Y apuestale hasta mi rancho
Con las vacas y el tractor

En plena semana santa
De año noventa y uno

Ya paseaban por la tabla
A su bayo muy seguro
Mientras tocaba un conjunto
La gente apostaba duro

Con el bayo y la potranca
Listos en el partidero

Unos querian vivo al sincho
Y otros juganba parejo
Los gonzales les gritaban
Apuesten no tengan miedo

Al darles las voz de arranque
El bayo se adelanto

Pero al ir a media tabla
La loba se emparejo
Despues al cruzar la meta
Con un cuerpo le gano

Los gonzales eran hombres
Sabian perder y ganar
Pagaron su calentura
Que les costo un dineral
Pues les gano con la loba
Margarito Villa Real

The White-Faced Bay

How are you, Margarito?
I've come to propose a deal.
I want to enter a race,
But I don't have a horse.

Come on, lend me your filly,
That's what Arabio told him.
The Gonzalezes are driving me crazy,
They're going to run their bay.

And they've got a lot of money,
But I don't have a horse.
If you lend me your filly,
I'll match their bet.

I'll lend you my filly,
Margarito replied,
But only on one condition:
I put my jockey on her,
And you can bet your whole ranch,
With the cows and the tractor.

In the middle of Holy Week,
Nineteen ninety-one,

They were already walking around the track,
Showing off their bay, so sure of themselves.
While a band played,
People were betting heavily.

With the bay and the filly,
Ready at the starting gate.

Some wanted the bay to win,
And others were playing it safe.
The Gonzalezes were shouting,
Bet, don't be afraid.

When the starting gun was fired,
The bay took the lead.

But halfway down the track,
The filly caught up.
And then, as they crossed the finish line,
She won by a nose.

The Gonzalezes were good sports,
They knew how to lose and win.
They paid their forfeit,
Which cost them a fortune.
Because Margarito Villa Real
Beat them with his filly.
