Caballo Blanco

White Horse

Caballo Blanco

This is the ballad of the white horseEste esa el corrido del caballo blanco
That on a happy Sunday will startQue en un día domingo feliz arrancara
And with the aim of reaching the northY bajo la mira de llegar al norte
Having left GuadalajaraHabiendo salido de Guadalajara

His noble rider took off the reinsSu noble jinete le quito las riendas
Took off the saddle, and left in a hurryLe quito la silla, y se fue apuro pelo
He crossed like lightning through quiet landsCruzo como rayo tierras calladitas
Between green hills and the blue of the skyEntre cerros verdes y lo azul del cielo

At a slower pace, he arrived at EspinosaA paso más lento llego hasta espinosa
And was getting tired just by runningY por pura cancha se andaba quedando
They say many were fallingCuenta que los muchis iban cayendo
That he had his whole muzzle bleedingQue llevaba todo el hocico sangrando

But they saw him pass through SonoraPero lo miraron pasar por sonora
And the Yankee Valley gave him its tendernessY el valle del Yanqui le dio su ternura
They say he limped on his left legDicen que cojeaba de la pata izquierda
And despite everything, he continued his adventureY a pesar de todo siguió su aventura

He arrived at Hermosillo, continued to MatadorcaLlego hasta hermosito, siguió Matadorca
And in Mexicali, he felt he was dyingY por Mexical sintió que moría
He climbed step by step through La RumorosaSubió paso a paso por la rumorosa
Arriving in Tijuana with the light of dayLlegando a Tiguana con la luz del día

One day his feat reached RosaritoUn día su hazaña se fue a Rosarito
And he didn't want to rest until he saw the cliffY no quiso echarse hasta ver la encenada
And this was the ballad of the white horseY este fue el corrido del caballo blanco
That left one Sunday from GuadalajaraQue salio un domingo de Guadalajara
