Caballo Adicto Lyrics in English by Los Dos Carnales
Brioso translates to "spirited" or "lively," often used to describe animals, especially horses, that are full of energy and vigor.
In "Caballo Adicto," the word is used to describe the horse's initial energetic nature before it becomes addicted. It's an interesting word because it captures a specific quality of an animal's temperament, which is central to the song's narrative about a horse's transformation.
Get ready for a wild ride with Los Dos Carnales' "Caballo Adicto"! This song tells a really unique and intense story about a horse that gets addicted to a mysterious powder. It starts with the sounds of horses, saving their owners, and then we hear about a specific, very beautiful horse.
The lyrics say, "me dio 2 gramos de polvo y jamás volví a verte" [he gave me 2 grams of powder and I never saw you again], and that's when things get crazy! The horse becomes an addict, and its owner keeps giving it the powder. This makes the horse incredibly fast and unbeatable in races, even across the country and "al otro lado" [to the other side]. People are amazed, and no one dares to bet against it. But the story takes a dark turn when the horse races in Dallas, and it's given a double dose "para que la viera muy lento" [so that it would go very slow]. Sadly, the horse dies at the finish line, a tragic end to its addiction.
