El Potro Lobo Gateado (La Yegua Colorada)
En una manada vive un potro que me gustó
Me fui con el hacendado: Señor, traigo una tratada
Quiero que me dé un caballo por mi yegua colorada
¿Qué caballo es el que quieres? Así pa' poder tratar
Un potro lobo gateado que ayer vi en el corral
Que a charros y a caporales no lo han podido amansar
Lo vi de entre diez caballos, el cual era más bonito
Si por duro lo dejaron lo duro yo se lo quitó
Si lo compro lo verán dirigiéndose solito
Te doy 1500 pesos y el potro te lo regaló
No lo quiero por rejego, pensaba meterlo al carro
Que a charros y a caporales a todos los ha tumbado
Luego que ya se hizo de él el charro le echó la hablada
Ahora juega mi caballo con su yegua colorada
Nomás me da un ribetito está dura la jugada
Le contestó el hacendado: No digas que tengo miedo
Vámonos a la oficina pa' depositar dinero
La carrera la dejamos para el día 2 de febrero
Se llegó el dichoso día de la carrera afamada
Volaban pesos tronchados a la yegua colorada
Y al potro lobo gateado ni quien le apostara nada
Se arrancaron los caballos y el caballo no se vio
Se cubrió de polvareda que caballo tan violento
Nomás alas le faltaron pa' volar por ese viento
Ya con esta me despido dispensen lo mal trovado
Aquí da fin el corrido de un charro y un hacendado
De la yegua colorada y el potro lobo gateado
Red Mare
In a herd, I saw a colt that I liked
I went with the rancher, sir, I have a deal
I want him to give me a horse for my red mare
What kind of horse do you want to be able to deal with?
A buckskin colt that I saw yesterday in the corral
That cowboys and foremen haven't been able to tame
I saw him among ten horses, which was the most beautiful
If they left him tough, I'll take the toughness away
If I buy him, you'll see him going on his own
I'll give you fifteen hundred pesos and the colt I'll give you
I don't want him for a bargain, I thought of putting him in the cart
That cowboys and foremen have all been thrown off
After he got him, the cowboy talked to him
Now my horse plays with his red mare
He just gives me a little trouble because the game is tough
The rancher replied, don't say I'm afraid
Let's go to the office to deposit the money
We'll leave the race for February 2nd
The said day of the famous race arrived
Bets were flying towards the red mare
And nobody bet anything on the buckskin colt
The horses took off and the horse was not seen
It was covered in dust, what a violent horse
He just needed wings to fly in that wind
With this, I bid you farewell, forgive the poorly written
Here ends the story of a cowboy and a rancher
Of the red mare and the buckskin colt.
