On Horseback

José Manuel Figueroa

A Caballo

Soy de a caballo señores
mas no vengo a presumirles
escúchenme valedores
que tengo algo que decirles

Después de tanto porrazo
que la vida me ha pegado
algo podrán aprender
de este jinete afamado.

No elijan a su potranca
nada mas por la hermosura
que sea bonita de anca
y que de rienda no sea dura

Después de andar jineteando
por praderas y montañas
yo les juro que prefiero amansar
que quitar mañas

Soy de a caballo señores
y a caballo me despido
vine a contarles un poco
de lo mucho que he vivido

Después de andar jineteando
por praderas y montañas
yo les juro que prefiero amansar
que quitar mañas

On Horseback

I am on horseback, gentlemen
but I am not here to show off
listen to me, brave ones
for I have something to tell you

After so many falls
that life has given me
you can learn something
from this famous rider

Don't choose your mare
just for her beauty
let her be pretty in the hindquarters
and not harsh with the reins

After riding
through meadows and mountains
I swear I prefer to tame
than to remove bad habits

I am on horseback, gentlemen
and on horseback I bid farewell
came to tell you a bit
about all that I have lived

After riding
through meadows and mountains
I swear I prefer to tame
than to remove bad habits
