Below, I translated the lyrics of the song El Muchacho Y El Potro by Los Cadetes De Linares from Spanish to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
(Vamos señores
(Come on gentlemen
Échale carnal)
Throw it carnal)
Un estruendo terrible formaron
A terrible roar formed
Al llegar al humilde lugar
Arriving at the humble place
Las espuelas de acero, chirriaron
The steel spurs, they screeched
Ni los perros quisieron ladrar
Not even the dogs wanted to bark
La culata del rifle estrellaron
The butt of the rifle smashed
En la puerta del triste jacal
At the door of the sad jacal
De un muchacho se perfila el rostro
The face of a boy is outlined
Al abrir la puerta del jacal
When opening the door of the jacal
Lo que tengo nomás es mi potro
What I only have is my colt
Pero no se lo pueden llevar
But they can't take it away
Ni tampoco lo cambio por otro
Nor will I change it for another
Solo muerto me lo han de quitar
Only dead will they take it from me
A empellones lo sacan al patio
They push him out to the patio
Con la luna se mira brillar
With the moon you can see it shine
El pelaje del noble caballo
The coat of the noble horse
Que la turba se viene a llevar
That the mob is coming to take away
Se revuelve y se para de manos
She stirs and stands on her hands
Viendo a su amo que van a colgar
Seeing the master of him that they are going to hang
(Oye, qué bueno
(Hey, good
De arriba cuabilas, señores
From above, gentlemen
Arriba, señor, qué tribu, uy)
Up, sir, what tribe, oops)
Por la rama más alta de un fresno
By the highest branch of an ash tree
Una soga lograron pasar
A rope made it through
El muchacho se mira sereno
The boy looks serene
Ni la muerte lo puede asustar
Not even death can scare him
Solamente un milagro supremo
Just a supreme miracle
O su potro lo pueden salvar
Or his foal can save him
Un silbido se escucha de pronto
A whistle is suddenly heard
Y el relincho del fiero animal
And the neighing of the fierce animal
Convertido en el mero demonio
Become the mere demon
Se echa encima y empieza a patear
He jumps on top and starts kicking
El muchacho saltando a su lomo
The boy jumping on his back
En sus barbas los pudo burlar
In his beards he could outwit them
Se incorpora a la gente de villa
He joins the townspeople
Su valor se comienza a notar
His value begins to show
Cada instante se juega la vida
Every moment life is played
No se cansa de tanto buscar
He doesn't get tired of searching so much
A los hombres que por pura envidia
To the men who out of sheer envy
Lo quisieron de un árbol colgar
They wanted him to hang from a tree
