Al Galpe Por El Llano (Milonga)

At the Gallop Through the Plain (Milonga)

Al Galpe Por El Llano (Milonga)

I am a plain coltSoy un potro de llanura
Who doesn't know tricksQue no conoce maneas
I only obey the ideaSolo obedezco a la idea
Where I standDonde apoyo mi postura
I don't ask for or give usuryNo pido ni doy usuras
And I was never broken inNi nunca fui acollarao
My neck has only been touchedMi cogote lo ha tocao
By the hands of the windSolo las manos del viento
And to my chest the argumentY a mi pecho el argumento
That distance has given itQue la distancia le ha dao

On the world's even groundSobre el mundo en lo parejo
We are all the sameToditos somos iguales
And all of usY a toditos los guadales
Will be asked for our skinNos pediran el pellejo
I don't ask for or give adviceNo pido ni doy consejos
Let everyone live their lifeCada cual viva su vida
I lick my woundsSe lamerme las heridas
And frolic in the good timesY retozar en las buenas
Because there's no water in my veinsPorque no hay agua en mis venas
Nor a bit in my mouthNi bozal a mi medida

I weave the daysVoy trenzando las jornadas
Swallowing sunrisesIngiriendo amaneceres
Hacking sunsetsMaceteando atardeceres
And growing in guitar strumsY creciendo en guitarreadas
I lead my lifeLlevo la vida entablada
In the corral of my chestEn el corral de mi pecho
I follow the path straightSigo el rumbo bien derecho
Driving the horizonsArreando los horizontes
And where I dismountY allí donde yo desmonte
I have my shadow as a roofTengo a mi sombra por techo

And so I will continue livingY así seguiré viviendo
What's left of my lifeLo que me resta de vida
With the pain of a woundCon el dolor de una herida
That grows in the bloodQue va en la sangre creciendo
The song I pour outEl canto que voy virtiendo
Like a wild horse of ideasComo emprendao de ideas
Clearly shows whereverDeja clara donde sea
Supported by my stanceApoyada a mi postura
I am a plain coltSoy un potro de llanura
Who doesn't know tricksQue no conoce manea
