Текст и перевод песни Dareyes de la Sierra - 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
Cual 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 1,500 pesos, y el potro te lo regalo
Al cabo yo había pensado, meterlo por malo al carro
Que a charros y caporales, a todos los ha 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, pa'l 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 pa'l 23 de Febrero
Por fin se llego la fecha, de la carrera afamada
Volaban pesos tronchados a la yegua Colorada
Y al potro Lobo Gateado, ni quien le apostara nada
Se arrancan del partidero, y el caballo no cedía
Toda la gente decía, que caballo tan violento,
Nomás 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 quito 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 Grey Colt

In a herd I saw a colt that I liked,
I went to the rancher, sir I have a deal for you
I want you to give me a horse for my chestnut mare
Which horse do you want? the rancher replied
A Spotted Grey colt, that I saw yesterday in the corral
Which cowboys and foremen have not been able to tame
I'll give you 1,500 pesos, and the colt I'll give you as a gift
Because I had anyway thought, to put him in the cart as a bad horse
That to cowboys and foremen, he has thrown them all
As soon as he got it, the cowboy spoke to him
Now my horse will play with his chestnut mare
We'll save the race for Candlemas
The rancher replied, 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
Torched pesos were flying on the chestnut mare
And on the Spotted Grey Colt, no one bet anything
They took off from the starting line, and the horse would not give up
All the people were saying, what a violent horse
He only needed wings, to fly through the wind
And the chestnut mare, who was very pure of blood
Everyone respected her, for being quick and cunning
And the Spotted Grey Colt, took away her bragging rights
With this I say goodbye, excuse my bad singing
Here ends the corrido of a cowboy and a rancher
Of the chestnut mare and the Spotted Grey Colt
