Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Mi Caballo Pobre by Carin Leon from Spanish to English.
Mi caballo pobre al igual que su dueño
My poor horse just like its owner
Inquieto esperaba, que salieras tú
Restless, waiting for you to come out
Tu vestido limpio y mi ropa empolvada
Your clean dress and my dusty clothes
Hacían un contraste muy poco común
Made for a very uncommon contrast
A mis veinte años, tú tenias quince
At my twenty years, you were fifteen
Sabia que me dabas el más puro amor
I knew you were giving me the purest love
Tú eras una virgen, y yo un pobre diablo
You were a virgin, and I a poor devil
Que pasaba el día en aquella labor
Spending the day in that work
A esperar mis manos, y tu piel tan fina
Waiting for my hands, and your delicate skin
En mis brazos fuertes te pude dormir
In my strong arms, I could make you sleep
Como he de olvidar de tus besos de niña
How can I forget your girl kisses
Los que yo tenia, nomas para mí
The ones I had, just for me
Pero el tiempo pasa y la gente cambia
But time passes and people change
Vino un perfumado y me robo tu amor
A perfumed one came and stole your love from me
Aventaste al suelo mi amor tan honrado
You threw down my honest love
Porque te encontraste un partido mejor
Because you found a better match
Sentí mi pobreza y mire mi caballo
I felt my poverty and looked at my horse
Su montura vieja y sus ojos cansados
Its old saddle and tired eyes
Decidí marcharme y deje mi tierra
I decided to leave and left my land
Jinete y caballo no fuimos llorando
Rider and horse, we didn't leave crying
A esperas mis manos, y tu piel tan fina
Waiting for my hands, and your delicate skin
En mis brazos fuertes te pude dormir
In my strong arms, I could make you sleep
Como he de olvidar de tus besos de niña
How can I forget your girl kisses
Los que yo tenia, nomas para mí
The ones I had, just for me
