Paroles et traduction Vicente Fernández - El Potro Lobo Gateado

El Potro Lobo Gateado

En una manada vide
Un Potro que me gustaba
Me fui con el hacendado
Señor traigo una tratada
Quiero que me de un caballo
Por mi yegua Colorada

¿Cuál caballo es el que quieres?
Le contesta el hacendado
Un Potro Lobo Gateado
Que ayer vide en el corral
Que charros y caporales
No lo han podido amansar

Te doy mil quinientos pesos
Y el Potro te lo regalo
Al cabo yo había pensado
Meterlo por malo al carro
Que a charros y a caporales
A todos los a tumbado

Luego que ya se hizo de el
El charro le hecho una hablada
Ahora juega mi caballo
Con su yegua Colorada
La carrera la dejamos
Pal día de la Candelaria

Le contesta el hacendado
No pienses que tengo miedo
Vámonos pa' la oficina
A depositar el dinero
Y la fecha la dejamos
Pal 23 de febrero

Por fin se llegó la fecha
De la carrera afamada
Volaban pesos tronchados
A la yegua Colorada
Y al Potro Lobo Gateado
Ni quien le apostará nada

Se arrancan del partidero
Y el caballo no cedía
Toda la gente decía
Que caballo tan violento
No mas alas le faltaban
Para volar por el viento

Y la yegua Colorada
Que de sangre era muy fina
Todos le tenían respeto
Por ligera y por ladina
Y el Potro Lobo Gateado
Le quitó lo presumida

Ya con esta me despido
Dispensen lo mal cantado
Aquí termina el corrido
De un charro y un hacendado
De la yegua Colorada
Y el Potro Lobo Gateado

The Spotted Wolf Colt

In a herd I saw
A Colt I liked
I went to the landowner
Sir, I have a proposition
I want you to give me a horse
For my Red-Colored mare

Which horse do you want?
The landowner answers him
A Spotted Wolf Colt
That I saw yesterday in the corral
That cowboys and foremen
Haven't been able to tame

I'll give you fifteen hundred pesos
And I'll give you the Colt as a gift
After all, I had thought
To put it in the buggy because it's bad
That cowboys and foremen
Have all been thrown by it

As soon as he got it
The cowboy gave it a talk
Now it's your turn, my horse
With his Red-Colored mare
We'll have the race
On Candlemas Day

The landowner answers him
Don't think I'm afraid
Let's go to the office
To deposit the money
And we'll set the date
For February 23rd

Finally the date arrived
Of the famous race
Torn pesos were flying
On the Red-Colored mare
And on the Spotted Wolf Colt
No one would bet on it

They start from the starting line
And the horse won't give up
All the people were saying
What a violent horse
He only needed wings
To fly through the wind

And the Red-Colored mare
Which was very fine-blooded
Everyone respected it
For being light and clever
And the Spotted Wolf Colt
Took away its conceit

With this I say goodbye
Excuse the bad singing
Here ends the ballad
Of a cowboy and a landowner
Of the Red-Colored mare
And the Spotted Wolf Colt
