Текст и перевод песни Lalo Mora - Perro Viejo

Perro Viejo

Hay historias muy bonitas que debieran de contarse
Deberian estar escritas para jamas olvidarse
Como esta de un perro viejo que me platico mi madre
Ya habia perdido el olfato y la vista le fallaba
Raquel le dijo a su esposo ya no sirve para nada
Dale un tiro y que otro perro sea el que cuide nuestra casa
Aunque Juan lo habia pensado no se sentia convencido
Porque nunca jabia olvidado que guardian lo habia servido
Pero tenia que matarlo porque ya habia envejecido
Juan un dia tomo el camino con su perro llego al rio
Donde se hacia el remolino aquella tarde de frio
Pensaba tirarlo al agua en vez de pegarle un tiro
Al intentar aventarlo cayo del acantilado
El perro viejo y enfermo se aventuro a rescatarlo
Mas perecio en el intento despues de salvar a su amo
Juan llego al rancho llorando angustiado y afligido
Llevava a guardian cargado lo abrazaba arrepentido
El perro viejo habia muerto por salvar a un mal amigo

Old Dog

There are beautiful stories that should be told
They should be written down so they are never forgotten
Like this one about an old dog that my mother told me
He had lost his sense of smell and his eyesight was failing
Rachel said to her husband, "He's no longer any good"
Shoot him and get another dog to guard our house
Although Juan had thought about it, he wasn't convinced
Because he had never forgotten how loyal he had been
But he had to kill him because he had grown old
Juan one day took the path with his dog to the river
Where the whirlpool formed that cold afternoon
He thought about throwing him in the water instead of shooting him
As he tried to throw him, he fell off the cliff
The old and sick dog ventured to rescue him
But he perished in the attempt after saving his master
Juan arrived at the ranch crying, anguished, and afflicted
He carried his guardian, holding him close, filled with remorse
The old dog had died to save a bad friend
