SE CANSÓ EL MEJOR CABALLO
THE BEST HORSE GOT TIRED
Se cansó el mejor caballo
The best horse got tired
Cosa triste pa ún llanero
Sad thing for a llanero
Ver mermado por los años
See diminished by the years
Su caballo sillonero
His sillonero horse
El de los brincos morochos
The one with the morochos jumps
El del relincho altanero
The one with the haughty neighing
Que con amugar la oreja
What with furnishing the ear
Muchos charrascos corrieron
Many charrascos ran
El padrote del atajo
The godfather of the shortcut
Celoso en su paradero
Jealous in his whereabouts
El que veía una potranca
The one who saw a pot
Y botaba los aperos
And he threw away the implements
El de la Mecha rebelde
The one with the rebellious Wick
Y de forrío camorrero
And of foul camorrero
El que le mordía el cogote
The one who bit his neck
A potros faramalleros
To foals faramalleros
Por delante no se le iba
Ahead he was not going
Sino el viento sabanero
But the savannah wind
Apenas soltaba el paso
He barely let go of his step.
Lleno de brio y palero
Full of brio and palero
Se le salía la cachaza
The cachaça came out
Entre piel y sudadero
Between leather and sweatshirt
Y el cuajo era el contrabajo
And the rennet was the double bass
De un joropo sabanero.
From a joropo sabanero.
Se cansó el mejor caballo
The best horse got tired
Cosa triste pa ún llanero
Sad thing for a llanero
joven vive de esperanzas
Young people live on hope
viejo vive de recuerdos
Old man lives on memories
Bajo el cielo y sobre el llano
Under the sky and on the plain
caballo y jinete al medio
Horse and rider in the middle
somos muchachos y potros
We are boys and foals
sin tomar la vida en serio
without taking life seriously
Yo cuando estaba potrón
Me when I was potron
no cupe en el llano entero
It does not fit in the entire plain
dejé regada la fama
I left fame watered
como los caballos buenos
Like good horses
por culpa de alguna de potra
because of one of fillies
el cogote me mordieron
The cogote bit me
si corrí lo sabrá el llano
If I ran, the plain will know
yo si vi que otros corrieron.
I did see that others ran.
No tuve falso cogote
I didn't have a fake neck
Fui como me conocieron
I went as they knew me
Mi relincho fue un joropo
My neighing was a joropo
Que no se paró en linderos
That did not stand on boundaries
Tengo saltos gloria a Dios
I have leaps glory to God
Que con el tiempo crecieron
That over time grew
Ya viendolos retosones
Already seeing the challenges
Me siento un caballo viejo.
I feel like an old horse.
