Caballo Alazán Lucero

Chestnut horse star,Caballo alazán lucero,
How swift, how good you wereQue por ligero, que bueno fuiste
You won many races,Ganaste muchas carreras,
I remember well, you never lostYo bien recuerdo, nunca perdiste

You never suffered defeat,Jamás tuviste derrota,
From coast to coast, it wasn't a lieDe cota a costa, no fue mentira
Until that mare arrived,Hasta que llego esa yegua,
For whom you lost, even your lifePor quien perdieras, hasta la vida

Her eyes also dark,Sus ojos también oscuros,
She fixed them on yours, as if sayingClavo en los tuyos, como diciendo
That in those five hundred yards,Que en esas quinientas varas,
You let her, arrive firstTú la dejaras, llegar primero

I have it very present,Lo tengo muy bien presente,
Everyone bet on youToda la gente, por ti apostaba
And your owner very sure,Y tú dueño muy seguro,
Risked his great fortuneSu gran fortuna, se la jugaba

When leaving the starting gate,Al salir del partidero,
I saw the mare, almost flying,Vi que la yegua, casi volaba,
And you not running violently,Y tú sin correr violento,
Giving her time to beat youDándole tiempo a que te ganara

Chestnut horse star,Caballo alazán lucero,
Like a gentleman, with a ladyCual caballero, con una dama
Your owner's fortune,La fortuna de tú dueño,
By a body and a half, ended up in nothingPor cuerpo y medio, quedo en la nada

Your owner desperate,Tú dueño desesperado,
Taking hold of his pistol,Echando mano de su pistola,
If they have won everything from meSi todo me lo han ganado
This horse alone bothers meEste caballo solo me estorba

And not giving time for anything,Y no dando tiempo a nada,
With five bullets you fell wounded,Con cinco balas rodaste herido,
You fell next to the mare,Caíste junto a la yegua,
You who had lost for herTú que por ella, habías perdido

You died watching the mare,Moriste viendo a la yegua,
As if saying, you are servedComo diciendo, esta usted servida

Today your memory, I don't forgetHoy tú recuerdo no se me olvida
