Black stallionCaballo prieto azabache
how could I forget you, I owe you my lifecomo olvidarte te debo la vida
when Pancho Villa's loyal forcescuando iban a fusilarme
were about to execute me.las fuerzas leales de pancho villa.

On a cloudy nightEn una noche nublada
an advance guard surprised meuna avanzada me sorprendió
and after being disarmedy tras de ser desarmado
I was sentenced to the firing squad.fui sentenciado al paredón.

When I was in the chapelYa cuando estaba en capilla
Villa told his assistantle dijo villa a su asistente
remove that horseme apartas ese caballo
for being polite and obedient.por educado y por obediente.

I knew I couldn't escapeSabia que no me escapaba
and only thought about salvationy solo pensaba en la salvación
and you, my black stalliony tu mi prieto azabache
were thinking the same as me.también pensabas igual que yo.

I remember they told meRecuerdo que me dijeron
to make a wish before being executedpide un deseo pa´ajusticiarte
I want to be shotyo quiero ser fusilado
on my black stallion.en mi caballo prieto azabache.

And when they mounted meY cuando enti me montaron
and prepared for the executiony prepararon la ejecución
you didn't even wait for the commandni voz de mando esperaste
you lunged at the firing squad.y te abalanzaste sobre el pelotón.
