Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Caballo Prieto Azabache by Antonio Aguilar from Spanish to English.
Caballo prieto azabache
Black dark horse
Como olvidarte te debo la vida
How could I forget you, I owe you my life
Cuando iban a fusilarme
When they were going to execute me
Las fuerzas leales de pancho villa
The loyal forces of Pancho Villa
Fue aquella noche nublada
It was that cloudy night
Una avanzada me sorprendio
An advance surprised me
Y después de de sar marme
And after they tied me up
Fui condenado al paredón
I was condemned to the firing squad
Ya cuando estuve en capilla
When I was in the chapel
Le dijo villa a su asistente
Villa told his assistant
Me apartas ese caballo
Take away that horse
Por educado y obediente
Because he is polite and obedient
Sabia que no iba a escaparme
I knew I wouldn't escape
Solo pensaba en mi salvación
I only thought about my salvation
Y tu mi prieto azabache
And you, my black dark horse
Tambien pensaste igual que yo
You also thought the same as me
Recuerdo que me dijeron
I remember they told me
Pide un deseo para justiciarte
Make a wish to justify yourself
Yo quiero morir montado en mi caballo
I want to die mounted on my horse
Prieto azabache
Black dark horse
Y cuando en ti me montaron
And when they mounted me on you
Y prepararon, la ejecucución
And prepared for the execution
Mi voz de mando esperaste
You waited for my command
Te abalanzaste sobre el pelotón
You charged at the firing squad
Con tres balazos de mauser
With three Mauser bullets
Corriste azabache, salvando mi vida
You ran, dark horse, saving my life
Lo que tu hiciste conmigo
What you did for me
Caballo amigo no se me olvida
My friend horse, I will never forget
No pude salvar la tuya
I couldn't save yours
Y la amargura me hace llorar
And the bitterness makes me cry
Por eso prie to aza bache
That's why, black dark horse
No he de olvidarte nunca jamás
I will never forget you
