Below, I translated the lyrics of the song El Pulmon by La Fiera De Ojinaga from Spanish to English.
Nació en un laboratorio
He was born in a laboratory
En tierras americanas
In American lands
Su dueño era un millonario
His owner was a millionaire
Que lo esperaba con ansias
That awaited him eagerly
Quería verlo fuerte y sano
He wanted to see him strong and healthy
Pero le nació con asma
But he was born with asthma
Cuando miró a aquel potrillo
When he saw that colt
Con trabajos respirando
Struggling to breathe
Le dijo al veterinario
He told the veterinarian
Ve y mátalo de un balazo
Go and kill him with a bullet
Y lo entierras en el monte
And bury him in the mountains
Pa que no quede ni rastro
So that no trace remains
Pero aquel veterinario
But that veterinarian
Nomás simuló el entierro
Just pretended the burial
Le transplantó los pulmones
He transplanted the lungs
De otro caballo ligero
From another swift horse
Y allá en lo alto de la sierra
And up in the high sierra
Del otro enterró los restos
He buried the other's remains
Cuando pasaron tres años
When three years passed
Ni brisa del cuaco enfermo
Not a breeze of the sick horse
Le faltaban manecillas
He lacked hands
Pamedirlo a segundero
To measure him by the second
Cuatro Derbys seguiditos
Four Derbys in a row
Y le faltaba terreno
And he lacked ground
Pronto acabó con los
He soon finished with those
De la unión americana
Of the American union
Lo corrieron en Montreal
They raced him in Montreal
En México y en Italia
In Mexico and in Italy
Y se trajo tres coronas
And he brought back three crowns
De los carriles de España
From the tracks of Spain
Tiene rasgada la panza
Has a torn belly
De cuando el veterinario
From when the veterinarian
Le devolvió la esperanza
Gave him back hope
De billetes se ha forrado
He is lined with bills
Y en Durango está su casa
And in Durango is his house
