Текст и перевод песни Luis Y Julian - El Caballo Careto

El Caballo Careto

Cuando llego a Nuevo León, nadie creyó en El Careto
Un caballo pura sangre, rebelde pero violento,
Cuando corrió en la región, casi voló por el viento

Se lo trajeron de Texas, con su registro arreglado,
Lo vendieron por mañoso, los güeros del otro lado,
Vino a dar a Santa Rosa, a las manos de Guajardo

En Lampazos y Salinas, platican los que lo vieron,
Gano todas las carreras, también en Nuevo Laredo,
En Coahuila, no corrió, porque le tuvieron miedo

Salvador le dice a Juan, frente a una copa de vino
Yo brindo por El Careto, porque le gane al Pingüino
Apostare mi fortuna, no me queda otro camino

Juan Rodríguez pensativo, vamos a ver como le hago
Iremos a la cantina, lo que se tomen yo pago,
Seguro que este domingo, les ganaremos al mago

Los gringos se equivocaron, al vender este corcel
Asombrados se quedaron, no lo podían creer,
Dicen que muchos lloraron, cuando lo vieron correr

The Scar-Faced Horse

When I arrived in Nuevo León, darling, no one believed in El Careto,
A thoroughbred horse, rebellious but violent,
When he ran in the region, he almost flew through the wind

They brought him from Texas, sweetheart, with his registration fixed,
The gringos from the other side sold him, calling him tricky,
He came to Santa Rosa, my love, into the hands of Guajardo

In Lampazos and Salinas, honey, those who saw him tell the tale,
He won all the races, also in Nuevo Laredo,
In Coahuila, my dear, he didn't run, because they were afraid of him

Salvador says to Juan, sweetheart, over a glass of wine,
I toast to El Careto, because he'll beat The Penguin,
I'll bet my fortune, my love, I have no other way

Juan Rodríguez, thoughtful, says "Let's see how I do this",
We'll go to the cantina, whatever you drink, I'll pay,
Surely this Sunday, darling, we'll beat the magician

The gringos were wrong, sweetheart, to sell this steed,
They were astonished, my love, they couldn't believe it,
They say that many cried, darling, when they saw him run
