La Leona y El Carcomido

The Lioness and The Rotten One

La Leona y El Carcomido

From the town of Gomez PalaciosDe mero Gómez Palacios
A famous mare was bornNació una yegua famosa
As a little one, she lookedDe chiquita se miraba
A very beautiful sightUna estampa muy hermosa
Growing up, she was fastAl crecer salió ligera
They nicknamed her the lionessQue le apodaron la leona

With her, they took care of cowsCon ella cuidaban vacas
For she was a mare of the poorPues era yegua de pobres
Starting her adventureAl iniciar su aventura
She became the queen of GomezSe hizo la reina de Gómez
For she beat 3 horsesPues les ganó a 3 caballos
Who were champions in DurangoQue en Durango eran campeones

They took her out of the countryLa sacaron del país
To play in Santa AnitaA jugar a Santa Anita
From there she flew to KentuckyDe allí voló hasta Kentucky
That beautiful mareAquella yegua bonita
Her career got stuckSe le atrancó su carrera
My feline got hurtSe lastimó mi felina

Then she had plenty of challengesDespués le sobraban retos
Very sure of beating themMuy seguro de ganarle
Her owner didn't back downSu dueño no se rajaba
Just wait for my mare to healNomás que mi yegua sane
They let the rotten one knowLe avisan al carcomido
He's going to meet his matchQue va a conocer su madre

Finally, the day arrivedPor fin se llegó la fecha
Everyone was talking about itNomás de aquello se hablaba
In favor of the rotten oneA favor del carcomido
Everyone was bettingToda la gente apostaba
In Santa Maria del OroEn Santa María del Oro
The race was heldLa carrera se jugaba

The rotten one snortedEl carcomido bufaba
With 10 wins without losingCon 10 triunfos sin perder
But this time it didn't work outPero esta vez no se le hizo
He reached the finish line laterLlego a la meta después
The lioness offers a rematchLa leona da la revancha
If you want to lose againSi quieres otra vez perder
