Текст и перевод песни Antonio Aguilar - La Hormiga Colorada

La Hormiga Colorada

En una manada vide un potro que me gusto
Me fui con el asendado señor tengo una tratada
Quiero que me de un caballo por mi yegua colorada

Que caballo es el que quieres asi pa poder tratar
Un potro lobogateado que ayer viede en el corral
Que a charros y a caporales no lo han podido amansar

Lo vide entre diez caballos el cual era el mas bonito
Si por duro lo dejaron lo duro yo se lo quito
Si lo compro lo veran dirijiendose solito

Te doy mil quinientos pesos y el potro te lo regalo
No lo quiero por rejego pensaba meterlo al carro
Que a charros y a caporales a todos los a tumbado

Luego que ya se hizo de el, el charro le echo la hablada
Ora juega mi caballo con su yegua colorada
Nomas me da un rivetito pues ta dura la jugada

Le contesto el asendado no digas que tengo miedo
Vamonos a la oficina pa depositar dinero
La carrera la dejamos por el dia dos de febrero

Se llego el dicho dia de la carrera afamada
Volavan pesos tronchados a la yegua colorada
Y al potro lobogateado ni quien le apostara nada

Se arrancaron los caballos y el caballo no se vio
Se cubrio de polvareda que caballo tan violento
Nomas alas le fataron pa volar por ese viento

Ya con esta me despido dispensen lo mal trovado
Aqui da fin el corrido de un charro y un asendado
De la yegua colorada y el potro lobogateado.

The Red Ant

In a herd I saw a pony that I liked
I went with the rancher, sir, I have a deal
I want you to give me a horse for my red mare

Which horse do you want so I can make a deal?
A spotted black horse that I saw in the corral yesterday
That neither horsemen nor foremen have been able to tame

I saw him among ten horses, he was the most beautiful
If they left him as unmanageable, I'll take away his stubbornness
If I buy him, you'll see him being led himself

I'll give you one thousand five hundred pesos and I'll give you the pony
I don't want him because he's stubborn, I was thinking of putting him to the cart
That neither horsemen nor foremen, none have been able to ride

After he got him, the horseman spoke to him
Now my horse is playing with your red mare
He's giving me a little trouble, the game is getting tough

The rancher answered him, don't say I'm afraid
Let's go to the office to deposit the money
The race will be on February 2

The day of the famous race arrived
Pesos were flying, bet on the red mare
And the spotted black horse, no one was betting on him

The horses started and the horse was nowhere to be seen
He was covered in dust, what a violent horse
He only needed wings to fly in that wind

With this I say goodbye, excuse my bad singing
Here ends the ballad of a horseman and a rancher
Of the red mare and the spotted black horse.
