Below, I translated the lyrics of the song El Caballo Pelotero by El Gran Combo de Puerto Rico from Spanish to English.
La noticia se regó
The news spread
De que un caballo caballo ballo
That a horse, horse, horse
Jugaba beisbol; jugaba beisbol
Played baseball; played baseball
Cuando jugaba beisbol
When he played baseball
Aquel caballo caballo ballo
That horse, horse, horse
La bola botó, la bola botó
He hit the ball out, he hit the ball out
Los yankies tenian aprietos
The Yankees were in a jam
Aunque aquel era caballo
Although that one was a horse
Y los yankies eran burros
And the Yankees were donkeys
Leyeron el reglamento
They read the rulebook
Y con mucho disimulo
And very discreetly
Llamaron al caballo ballo
They called the horse, horse
Caballo ballo
Horse, horse
Y el caballo llegó, y el caballo llegó
And the horse arrived, and the horse arrived
Está el juego terminando
The game is ending
La pizarra tres a cero
The scoreboard's three to zero
El chicago está ganando
Chicago is winning
Los yankies están bateando
The Yankees are batting
Tres hombres están en base
Three men are on base
Llaman al caballo al bate
They call the horse to bat
Seguro que al empujarlos
Sure to drive them in
El caballo agarra el bate
The horse grabs the bat
Y la bola se va y se va y se va
And the ball goes and goes and goes
Y la bola se va
And the ball goes
Y la bola se va y se va y se va
And the ball goes and goes and goes
Y la bola se va
And the ball goes
Anotando vienen todos
Everyone comes in to score
Después del batazo inmenso
After the immense hit
El caballo los contempla
The horse contemplates them
Pero no anima a dar un paso
But doesn't move to take a step
El manager dice corre
The manager says run
Y el caballo no responde
And the horse doesn't answer
Le preguntan ¿que pasó?
They ask him, what happened?
Y el caballo contesto
And the horse answered
Si yo corriera, estaría en el hipodromo
If I ran, I'd be at the racetrack
Oiga..si yo volara, estaria en el hipodromo
Listen..if I flew, I'd be at the racetrack
Hee, con un buen jockie y con herradura
Hee, with a good jockey and with a horseshoe
Estaria en el hipodromo
I'd be at the racetrack
Sooo caballo caballo
Whoa horse, horse
Estaria en el hipodromo
I'd be at the racetrack
Caballo soo y soo
Horse whoa and whoa
Soo y soo, soo y soo
Whoa and whoa, whoa and whoa
Soo y soo y soo caballo
Whoa and whoa and whoa horse
Caballo sooo corre caballo
Horse whoa, run horse
Caballo soo arranca
Horse whoa, take off
Caballo soo caballo
Horse whoa, horse
