El Caballo Bayo

The Bay Horse

El Caballo Bayo

He doesn't return to his manger, my faithful horse doesn't return, no,Ya no vuelve a su pesebre, mi fiel caballo no vuelve no,
he doesn't neigh with joy, like when someone caressed him,ya no relincha de gozo, como cuando alguien lo acaricio,
and for that same time, it's been two years since yesterday he turned,y por ese mismo tiempo, ya van dos años que ayer cumplió,
when a terrible plague, in the pasture, knocked him down.cuando una terrible peste, en el potrero lo revolcó.

And he let out a long sigh, he hardened like a stone,Y tiro un suspiro largo, como una piedra se endureció,
poor my bay horse, how I cried when he died.pobre de mi caballo bayo, como he llorado cuando el murió.

Beautiful dark horse, from my herd I chose,Bonito caballo prieto, de mi manada he escogido yo,
to give it to my girl, so she forgets the bay that has passed away,para dárselo a mi chata, que olvide el bayo que ya murió,
he was the one I liked, to walk together the two of us,el era el que me gustaba, para pasear junto los dos,
to pass by my girl, shout at her and say goodbye.para pasarle a mi chata, pegarle un grito y decirle adiós,

When digging a big hole to bury him, I felt sorrow,Al hacer un hoyo grande para enterrarlo pena me dio,
and with a wounded soul I said, bay horse, I take you with God.y yo con el alma herida le dije bayo dios te llevo
