Paroles et traduction Pedrito Fernandez - Mi Potro Patas Blancas

Mi Potro Patas Blancas

Que triste se ve mi rancho
Sin mi potro patas blancas
Lo jugueteaba mi padre
Y yo me montaba en ancas
Agarrado a su cintura
Bordeabamos la barranca

Cuando cumpli los siete años
El potro fue mi regalo
Como ya eres hombrecito
Y montando no eres malo
Ve a correrlo a las llanuras
Nomas no debes cansarlo

Pero los malos vecinos
Del rancho las Aguilillas
Le aventaron la magana
Tirandome de la silla
Y se llevaron mi potro
Pal otro lado de rio
Y yo me pase los dias
Buscando lo que era mio

Mi padre al saber las cosas
Salio a reclamar la frenta
Pero como fue solito
No pudo con la reyerta
Y regreso sin el potro
Tambien con el alma abierta

No hay que pensar en venganzas
De arriba vendra el castigo
Pero no voy a olvidar
Lo de mi padre y mi amigo
Se que hoy no tengo consuelo
Mas algun dia sere grande
Y si no lo cobra el cielo
Yo mismo voy a cobrarme

My White-Legged Mustang

My ranch looks so sad
Without my white-legged mustang
My father would play with him
And I would ride behind him
Holding onto his waist
We would ride along the canyon's edge

When I turned seven
The mustang was my gift
Since you are now a little man
And you are not bad at riding
Go run him on the plains
Just don't tire him out

But the bad neighbors
From the Aguilillas ranch
They threw the magana at him
Knocking me out of the saddle
And they took my mustang
To the other side of the river
And I spent days
Looking for what was mine

My father, upon learning about it
Went to claim the offense
But since he went alone
He could not handle the fight
And he returned without the mustang
Also with his soul open

We must not think of revenge
Punishment will come from above
But I will not forget
What happened to my father and my friend
I know that today I have no consolation
But someday I will be great
And if heaven does not collect it
I myself will collect it
