Текст и перевод песни Los Huracanes del Norte - La Sota Colorada

La Sota Colorada

Carreras y mas carreras
Se han jugado por Sonora
Pero la que hubo en Chihuahua
Esa quedara a la historia
Vino el rayo de Agua Prieta
A medirse con la sota

La sota yegua criollita
De Chava Rodríguez Peña
Con veinte triunfos de seguidos
Desde el sur a la frontera
Siempre apostaba seguro
Confiado por ser ligera

El dinero trae poder
Lo mismo que causa envidias
A Chava Rodríguez Peña
Querían mirarlo sin vida
Pero como era valiente
Ninguno se decidía

La sota estando en la trampa
Se miraba muy inquieta
Como que ya presentía
Que la muerte andaba cerca
De lejos un 30-30
Le apuntaba a la cabeza

Cuando dieron la salida
El rayo casi volaba
La sota venia cortito
En doscientas lo alcanzaba
Cuando se escucho un disparo
Su carrera le truncaba

En ese mismo momento
Encueraron las escuadras
Caía gente de Sonora
Caía gente de Chihuahua
Y fue la ultima carrera
De la sota colorada

The Red Sorrel Mare

Races and more races, my love,
Have been run through Sonora,
But the one in Chihuahua, darling,
That one will go down in history.
The lightning bolt from Agua Prieta came,
To measure up against the Sorrel Mare.

The Sorrel Mare, a Creole filly, sweetheart,
Owned by Chava Rodríguez Peña,
With twenty straight wins, my dear,
From the south to the border.
He always bet confidently, honey,
Trusting in her speed.

Money brings power, my love,
The same as it causes envy.
They wanted Chava Rodríguez Peña dead, darling,
To see him lifeless.
But since he was brave, sweetheart,
No one dared to try.

The Sorrel Mare, in the starting gate, honey,
Looked very restless.
As if she already sensed, my dear,
That death was near.
From afar, a 30-30 rifle, darling,
Was aimed at her head.

When they gave the start, my love,
The Lightning Bolt almost flew.
The Sorrel Mare was a little behind, sweetheart,
But she'd catch up in two hundred yards.
When a shot rang out, honey,
Her race was cut short.

At that very moment, my love,
Guns were drawn.
People from Sonora fell, darling,
People from Chihuahua fell.
And it was the last race, sweetheart,
Of the Red Sorrel Mare.
