Below, I translated the lyrics of the song El Cantador by Antonio Aguilar from Spanish to English.
Nació bajo de una higuera
He was born under a fig tree
Su madre fue yegua fina
His mother was a fine mare
Le llamaban La Catrina
They called her La Catrina
A el potrillo el cantador
To the foal the singer
Era un potro con más brío
He was a colt with more spirit
Que otro caballo cualquiera
Than any other horse
Y como yo lo hice mío
And how I made it mine
Resultó muy corredor
He turned out to be a very runner
Era lindo mi caballo
He was cute my horse
Era mi amigo más fiel
He was my most faithful friend
Ligerito como el rayo
Light as lightning
Era de muy buena ley
He was of very good law
Cuando era de falsa rienda
When he was false rein
Daba ventaja a su madre
He gave his mother the advantage
Muy pronto dejó a su padre
Very soon he left his father
Con dos cuerpos le ganó
With two lengths he beat him
Era de pelo retinto
He had red hair
Rosalbo como un lucero
Rosalbo like a star
Muy fachoso mitotero
Very disgraceful mythologist
Y lindo de corazón
And beautiful at heart
Era lindo mi caballo
He was cute my horse
Nació bajo una higuera
He was born under a fig tree
Y en el potrero quedó
And in the pasture it remained
Qué lástima que muriera
What a pity he died
Mi compañero mejor
My best companion
Por éso cuando el sol muere
That's why when the sun dies
Y la luna va a salir
and the moon is going to rise
Me voy hasta aquél potrero
I'm going to that pasture
Mis recuerdos a vivir
My memories to live
Era lindo mi caballo
He was cute my horse
