Le Pusieron 7 Leguas

They Put 7 Leagues on Him

Le Pusieron 7 Leguas

He was born and raised pure bloodNació y creció pura sangre
Just like his mare motherIgual que su madre yegua
As a tribute to his fatherComo homenaje a su padre
They put 7 leagues on himLe pusieron 7 leguas
He had the noble insideTenía lo noble por dentro
And the nervous outsideY lo nervioso por fuera

His owner in a playSu dueño en una jugada
Had to pay the betTenía que pagar la apuesta
When they were going to shoot himCuando le ivan a echar bala
He handed him over as an answerLo entrego como respuesta
Here I give you my coltAquí les doy mi potrillo
Which is all I have leftQue es todo lo que me resta

They took him to the valleySe lo llevaron al valle
And started to run himY empezaron a correrlo
He always won by a mileSiempre ganaba de calle
It was a pleasure to see himComo daba gusto verlo
His owners very ambitiousSus amos muy ambiciosos
How they made moneyComo ganaron dinero

The world is getting so smallVa siendo el mundo tan chico
A blow played lifeUn golpe jugo la vida
Wanted that rich coltQuizo que aquel potro rico
Stay to the measureSe quedara a la medida
For the mare, his motherPara la yegua, su madre
Who had not been defeatedQue no había sido vencida

There was a debt of prideHabía una deuda de orgullo
And the owner said to his mareY el amo dijo a su yegua
Although I know he's your sonAunque se que es hijo tuyo
You must not give him respiteNo debes de darle tregua
If you don't win, you dieSi no le ganas, te mueres
And if you win, you avenge meY si le ganas, me vengas

The colt felt the bloodEl potro sintio la sangre
And shortly after the startY al poco del partidero
He let his mother winDejo ganar a su madre
And went to a ravineY se fue a un desfiladero
He knew they could kill himSabía que podrian matarle
But he killed himself firstPero el se mato primero

This is the story gentlemenEsta es la historia señores
Of a mare and her coltDe una yegua y su potrillo
They don't understand grudgesEllos no entienden rencores
Nor do they want the shine of goldNi quieren del oro el brillo
But they do know about lovePero si saben de amores
Between a mother and a sonEntre una madre y un hijo
