El Gigante

The Giant

El Gigante

Like all legendsComo todas las leyendas
Born from something trueNacen de una cosa cierta
And the one I tell you todayY la que hoy les cuento
If it's not really trueSi no es de verdad de verdad
It leaves us a lesson of respectSi nos deja una lección de respeto
Towards freedom.Hacia la libertad.

Close to my townMuy cerca de mi pueblo
A wild colt like the windUn potro libre como el viento
Inhabits the meadow,Habita la pradera,
People decided to call him broncoLa gente decidió llamarle bronco
Because there are no reinsPor que no existen riendas
To stop his walk.Que detengan su andar.

His body shows a markSu cuerpo deja ver una marca
That they made with fireQue le hicieron con fuego
It is said to be the markSe dice que es la marca
Of a bad man who onceDe un hombre malo que antes
Was his owner,Fuera su dueño,
Who, even though he had a thousand horsesQue aunque tenia mil caballos
Was not satisfiedNo vivía satisfecho
Because it kept him awake to seePues le quitaba el sueño mirar
The wild bronco colt loose.Al potro bronco suelto.

And he put chains on broncoY le puso cadenas a bronco
Just to satisfy a whimNo`mas para saciar un capricho
Filling the colt with woundsSu llenando de heridas al potro
Forgetting that he was once his friend.Olvidando que antes era su amigo.

And he put chains on broncoY le puso cadenas a bronco
Just to satisfy a whimNo`mas para saciar un capricho
Without thinking that time takes everythingSin pensar que el tiempo cobra todo
And injustice has its punishment.Y la injusticia tiene su castigo.

Here is where the legend I tell youAquí es donde la leyenda que les cuento
Gains strength from what is said,Toma fuerza por lo que se cuenta,
That bronco, by some strange spellQue bronco por algún extraño hechizo
That no one can explain, became a giant.Que nadie se explica, gigante se volvió.

With courage and hunger for freedomCon coraje y hambre de libertad
He destroyed that paddock,Destruyo aquel potrero,
Freedom that was stolen from himLibertad que le robara aquel
By the one who marked his body.Que le marco su cuerpo.

And bronco returned to the meadowsY volvió a las praderas bronco
He is free to choose his pathEs libre de escoger su camino
And it is said that the wild broncoY se dice que el potro bronco
Being a giant will be his destiny.Ser gigante será su destino.

And bronco returned to the meadowsY volvió a las praderas bronco
He is free to choose his pathEs libre de escoger su camino
Now he doesn't gallop aloneAhora ya no galopa solo
Today he is closely watched by a friend.Hoy lo cuida de cerca una amigo.

Today he is closely watched, closely by a friend.Hoy lo cuida de cerca, de cerca un amigo.
