La Yegua Palomina

The Palomino Mare

La Yegua Palomina

To that Palomino mareA esa yegua Palomina
With a stubborn attitude and green eyesRetomona y de ojos verdes
I will throw a lassoYo le voy a echar un pial
And even though in this area they sayY aunque en este rumbo dicen
That I am learning to be a cowboyQue ando aprendiendo a ser charro
I have to tame herYo la tengo que amansar

She has an elegant bearingTiene un porte elegantioso
And a very rhythmic walkY un andar muy cadencioso
She always makes me sighSiempre me hace suspirar
When I look at her, she stands tallCuando la miro se crece
Composes herself and saddens meSe compone y me entristece
Causing me to despairQue me haga, desesperar

Oh, eternal GodAy, Dios eterno
I only ask you for one favorSolo pido que me hagas un favor
That my Palomino mareQue mi yegua Palomina
As I call that Indian womanComo le digo a esa indina
Does not delay in giving me her loveNo se tarde en entregarme su amor

Her green eyesSus ojos verdes
Have already pierced deep into meYa se clavaron tan dentro de mí
If I don't see them, I get sickQue si no los veo me enfermo
And at night, I can't even sleepY en las noches ya ni duermo
I spend my time just sufferingMe la paso, en solo sufrir

To my Palomino mareA mi yegua Palomina
I love her for being elegantYo la quiero por catrina
For being rebellious and good-lookingPor rebelde y de buen ver
For being big and cunningPor grandota y por ladina
Because she is made for mePorque esta hecha a mi medida
Soon she will be my wifePronto será mi mujer

Oh, eternal GodAy, Dios eterno
I only ask you for one favorSolo pido que me hagas un favor
That my Palomino mareQue mi yegua Palomina
As I call that Indian womanComo le digo a esa indina
Does not delay in giving me her loveNo se tarde en entregarme su amor

Her green eyesSus ojos verdes
Have already pierced deep into meYa se clavaron tan dentro de mí
If I don't see them, I get sickQue si no los veo me enfermo
And at night, I can't even sleepY en las noches ya ni duermo
I spend my time just sufferingMe la paso, en solo sufrir
