Caballito Bandolero

Bandit Little Horse

Caballito Bandolero

Riding on a horse, he came down like lightning.Montado a caballo, bajó como un rayo.
And his bandit was wearing a rose,Y su bandolero una rosa prendía,
Although he's a bandit, like a gentlemanAunque es bandolero, como un caballero
He risks his life to see his girlfriend.Por ver a su novia se juega la vida.
For a few ounces of gold, his mountain girl sold him,Por unas onzas de oro su serrana lo vendió,
And instead of finding an 'I adore you,' he found the round.Y en vez de hallar un "te adoro" con la ronda se encontró.

Bandit little horse,Caballito bandolero,
Bandit little horse,Caballito bandolero,
Let's go to the mountain,Vámonos pa la montaña,
Because you are what I love the most.Que eres tú mi lo que más quiero.
Bandit little horse,Caballito bandolero,
Bandit little horse,Caballito bandolero,
A little pain scratches meQue una penita me araña
For a treacherous kiss.Por un beso traicionero.
Oh, tra, la, la...Ay, tra, la, la...
Oh my bandit little horse, let's go now.Ay mi caballito bandolero vamos ya.

In the alley, death is awake,En la callejuela la muerte está en vela,
A man on horseback is being chased.Un hombre a caballo se ve perseguido.
A shot is heard, and with helplessnessSe escucha un disparo y con desamparo
He was left wounded on his horse.Sobre su caballo quedó malherido.
The noble and fierce animal entered the mountains,El animal, noble y fiero en la sierra se internó,
And a rose was left, scattered on the ground.Y, deshojada en el suelo una rosa se quedó
