Paroles et traduction Laberinto - Nueve Caballos

Nueve Caballos

Corrieron nueve caballos
Eran las dos de la tarde
Caían plumas de nieve
Estaba frescando el aire
Sin importarle a los dueños
La carrera iba a jugarse

Los gringos y mexicanos
De acuerdo depositaron
De veinte mil cada cheque
Por animal apostaron
Esta carrera, señores
Fue allá en Denver, Colorado

Cómo recuerdo aquel día
A tantos caballos finos
De Kansas venía un morito
También venía un palomino
Un prieto llegó de Texas
Tres más de los Alamitos

Un torbillo y un obscuro
Desde Nebraska los traen
De Durango, mexicano
Alguien trajo a un alazán
Tiene rayada la frente
Y elegante al caminar

¡Ahí está otra historia!
A mi compa Ramón

Cuando les dan la salida
La gente se oyó gritar
Venía delante el obscuro
Como queriendo volar
Sintió muy fuerte el galope
Era el caballo alazán

Qué carrera tan bonita
Esa tarde vi correr
Llegaron muy parejitos
Que no se podía creer
El juez para decidirla
La foto tuvo que ver

Pasaron unos minutos
Y el fallo se dio a saber
El juez les dio el veredicto
Les ganó el numero tres
El alazán de la sierra
Ya los ha vuelto a vencer

El dueño de aquel caballo
Ya se lleva al alazán
En la ciudad de Chihuahua
Ahí lo verán jugar
Va a correr en la sierrita
Qué sorpresa les va dar

Nine Horses

Nine horses raced
It was two o'clock in the afternoon
Feathers of snow were falling
The air was getting cold
Without caring for the owners
The race was going to be played

The gringos and Mexicans
In agreement deposited
Twenty thousand each check
For each animal they bet
This race, ladies and gentlemen
Was there in Denver, Colorado

How I remember that day
So many fine horses
From Kansas came a little black horse
A palomino also came
A black one arrived from Texas
Three more from the Alamitos

A whirlwind and a dark one
They are brought from Nebraska
From Durango, Mexican
Someone brought a chestnut
It has a striped forehead
And elegant in walking

Here is another story!
To my friend Ramón

When they give them the race
People were heard to shout
The dark one was ahead
As if wanting to fly
It felt the gallop very strong
It was the chestnut horse

What a beautiful race
That afternoon I saw it running
They came very close together
That it was impossible to believe
The judge to decide it
Had to see the photo

A few minutes passed
And the verdict was announced
The judge gave them the verdict
Number three won
The chestnut of the mountains
It has beaten them again

The owner of that horse
Is already taking the chestnut
In the city of Chihuahua
There they will see it play
It's going to run in the mountains
What a surprise it's going to give them
