Caballo que no galopa

Horse That Doesn't Gallop

Caballo que no galopa

Horse that doesn't gallopCaballo que no galopa
Goes straight to the slaughterhouseva derecho al pisadero
And whoever death meetsy al que lo topa la muerte
Goes straight to hell.va derechito al infierno.

Riding alone and gallopingAndar sólo y galopando
Like someone getting lostcomo quien se va perdiendo
With a soul in paincon el alma dolorida
On the path to the hills.caminito de los cerros.

Riding alone and gallopingAndar solo y galopando
Like someone just leavingcomo quien se va nomás
Tears under the poncholas lágrimas bajo el poncho
Because real men don't cry.porque no es de hombre llorar.

My dear little horseMi caballito querido
This is all I ask of youésta te pido nomás
The dogs are after usnos han echado los perros
But they won't catch me.pero no me han de alcanzar.

Horse that doesn't gallopCaballo que no galopa
Goes straight to the slaughterhouseva derecho al pisadero
A star that doesn't shine at nightestrella que no hace noche
Is illuminated by the evening star.se alumbra con el lucero.

I'm a rider of the nightSoy jinete de la noche
Gallop towards dawnvoy galopando hacia el alba
Far from my landando lejos de mi tierra
To not sell my guitar.por 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 landsólo le pido a mi tierra
Not to forget me.que no me quiera olvidar.
