Caballo Que No Galopa (Chacarera)

Horse That Doesn't Gallop (Chacarera)

Caballo Que No Galopa (Chacarera)

Horse that doesn't gallopCaballo que no galopa
Goes straight to the slaughterhouseVa derecho al pisadero
And whoever death coversY al que lo tapa la muerte
Goes straight to winterVa derechito al invierno

Riding alone and gallopingAndar solo y galopando
Like someone getting lostComo quien se va perdiendo
With a soul in painCon el alma dolorida
On the path to the hillsCaminito de los cerros

Riding alone and gallopingAndar solo y galopeando
Like someone just leavingComo quien se va nomás
Tears under the ponchoLas lágrimas bajo el poncho
Because real men don't cryPorque no es de hombre llorar

My dear little horseMi caballito querido
This is all I ask of youEsta te pido nomás
The dogs have chased usNos han echado los perros
But they won't catch mePero no me han de alcanzar

Horse that doesn't gallopCaballo que no galopa
Goes straight to the slaughterhouseVa derecho al pisadero
Stars that don't spend the nightEstrellas que no hacen noche
Illuminate with the evening starSe alumbran con el lucero

I'm a rider of the nightSoy jinete de la noche
Gallop towards dawnVoy galopeando hacia el alba
Far from my landAndo lejos de mi tierra
To not sell my guitarPor no vender mi guitarra

I'm a rider of the nightSoy jinete de la noche
One day it will clear upAlgún día aclarará
I only ask my landSolo le pido a mi tierra
Not to forget meQue no me quiera olvidar

My dear little horseMi caballito querido
This is all I ask of youEsta te pido nomás
The dogs have chased usNos han echado los perros
But they won't catch mePero no me han de alcanzar
