On Horseback

A Caballo

I am on horseback, gentlemenSoy de a caballo señores
but I am not here to show offmas no vengo a presumirles
listen to me, brave onesescúchenme valedores
for I have something to tell youque tengo algo que decirles

After so many fallsDespués de tanto porrazo
that life has given meque la vida me ha pegado
you can learn somethingalgo podrán aprender
from this famous riderde este jinete afamado.

Don't choose your mareNo elijan a su potranca
just for her beautynada mas por la hermosura
let her be pretty in the hindquartersque sea bonita de anca
and not harsh with the reinsy que de rienda no sea dura

After ridingDespués de andar jineteando
through meadows and mountainspor praderas y montañas
I swear I prefer to tameyo les juro que prefiero amansar
than to remove bad habitsque quitar mañas

I am on horseback, gentlemenSoy de a caballo señores
and on horseback I bid farewelly a caballo me despido
came to tell you a bitvine a contarles un poco
about all that I have livedde lo mucho que he vivido

After ridingDespués de andar jineteando
through meadows and mountainspor praderas y montañas
I swear I prefer to tameyo les juro que prefiero amansar
than to remove bad habitsque quitar mañas
