Paroles et traduction Lupillo Rivera - El Padrino

El Padrino

El que en su lomo paseaba.
Como un hijo lo quería.
Que bonito lo bailaba.
Mil aplausos compartía.
Su pelo blanco brillaba.
Elegante caminaba.
Y si veía a otra potranca.
Se paraba y coqueteaba.
Era igualito a su dueño.
Una hembra le quitó el sueño.
Apenas era un potrillo.
Con mucho cariño.
Le pusieron el padrino...
Pero aquella madrugada.
De cansado agonizaba.
Un deseo una despedida.
Y una canción le cantaba.
Aquel amigo del alma.
Que siempre lo acompañaba.
Ya de vuelta en el camino.
Pero pronto lo alcanzaba.
Era igualito a su dueño.
Una hembra le quitó el sueño.
Apenas era un potrillo.
Con mucho cariño.
Le pusieron el padrino...

The Godfather

He who on his back used to ride.
Like a son, I loved him true.
How beautifully he used to dance.
A thousand claps he shared.
His white hair shone.
Elegantly he walked.
And if he saw another mare.
He would stop and flirt.
He was just like his master.
A female stole his sleep.
He was just a colt.
With much affection.
They called him the godfather...
But that morning.
He was dying of exhaustion.
A wish, a farewell.
And a song he sang.
That friend of the soul.
Who always accompanied him.
Now back on the road.
But soon he would catch up.
He was just like his master.
A female stole his sleep.
He was just a colt.
With much affection.
They called him the godfather...
