Paroles et traduction Luis Perez Meza - El Caballo Blanco

El Caballo Blanco

Este es el corrido
Del caballo blanco
Que en un dia domingo
Feliz arrancara

Iba con la mira
De llegar al norte
Habiendo salido
De Guadalajara

Su noble jinete
Le quito la rienda
Le quito la silla
Y se fue a puro pelo

Cruzo como rayo
Tierras nayaritas
Entre cerros verdes
Y lo azul del cielo

A paso mas lento
Llego hasta Esquinapa
Y por Culiacan
Ya se andaba quedando

Cuentan que en los Mochis
Ya se iba cayendo
Que llevaba el hocico
Todo sangrado

"Ya merito compadre,
Ya merito"

Pero lo miraron pasar por
Sonora, y el valle del Yaqui
Le dio su ternura

Dicen que cojeaba
De la pata izquierda
Y a pesar de todo siguio su aventura

Se fue pa′ Hermosillo
Paso para Caborca
Y por Mexicali sintio que moría

Subio paso a paso por la rumorosa
Llegando a Tijuana a la luz del dia
Cumplida su hazaña
Se fue para Rosarito

Y no quizo echarse hasta ver Ensenada
Este el el corrido del caballo
Que salio un domingo de
Guadalajara

The White Horse

This is the corrido
Of the white horse
Who on a Sunday
Happily set out

He was aiming
To reach the north
Having left
Guadalajara

His noble rider
Took off his bridle
Took off his saddle
And went bareback

He crossed like lightning
Nayarita lands
Among green hills
And the blue of the sky

At a slower pace
He reached Esquinapa
And by Culiacan
He was already starting to fall behind

They say that in Los Mochis
He was already falling
That he had his snout
All bloodied

"Just a little bit more, compadre,
Just a little bit more"

But they saw him pass through
Sonora, and the Yaqui Valley
Gave him its tenderness

They say he was limping
From his left leg
And despite everything, he continued his adventure

He went to Hermosillo
Stopped by Caborca
And in Mexicali he felt like he was dying

He climbed step by step through the Rumorosa
Arriving in Tijuana at daybreak
His feat accomplished
He went to Rosarito

And he wouldn't stop until he saw Ensenada
This is the corrido of the horse
Who left on a Sunday from
Guadalajara
