El Muchacho Y El Potro Lyrics in English Los Dos Carnales
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song El Muchacho Y El Potro by Los Dos Carnales from Spanish to English.
(Vamos señores
(Let's go, gentlemen
Échale carnal)
Give it your all, buddy)
Un estruendo terrible formaron
A terrible noise they made
Al llegar al humilde lugar
Upon arriving at the humble place
Las espuelas de acero, chirriaron
The steel spurs squeaked
Ni los perros quisieron ladrar
Not even the dogs wanted to bark
La culata del rifle estrellaron
They smashed the rifle butt
En la puerta del triste jacal
On the door of the sad shack
De un muchacho se perfila el rostro
A young man's face is outlined
Al abrir la puerta del jacal
When opening the shack's door
Lo que tengo nomás es mi potro
All I have is my horse
Pero no se lo pueden llevar
But they can't take it
Ni tampoco lo cambio por otro
Nor will I exchange 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 into the courtyard
Con la luna se mira brillar
Under the moonlight, it shines
El pelaje del noble caballo
The noble horse's coat
Que la turba se viene a llevar
That the mob is coming to take
Se revuelve y se para de manos
He wriggles and stands on his hind legs
Viendo a su amo que van a colgar
Seeing his master they're going to hang
(Oye, qué bueno
(Listen, how good
De arriba cuabilas, señores
From above, gentlemen
Arriba, señor, qué tribu, uy)
Up, sir, what a tribe, oh)
Por la rama más alta de un fresno
Through the highest branch of an ash tree
Una soga lograron pasar
They managed to pass a rope
El muchacho se mira sereno
The young man looks calm
Ni la muerte lo puede asustar
Not even death can scare him
Solamente un milagro supremo
Only a supreme miracle
O su potro lo pueden salvar
Or his horse can save him
Un silbido se escucha de pronto
A whistle is suddenly heard
Y el relincho del fiero animal
And the fierce animal's neigh
Convertido en el mero demonio
Turned into a true demon
Se echa encima y empieza a patear
It throws itself and starts kicking
El muchacho saltando a su lomo
The young man jumps on its back
En sus barbas los pudo burlar
He managed to outwit them
Se incorpora a la gente de villa
He joins the town's people
Su valor se comienza a notar
His courage begins to show
Cada instante se juega la vida
Every moment he risks his life
No se cansa de tanto buscar
He doesn't tire of searching so much
A los hombres que por pura envidia
For the men who out of pure envy
Lo quisieron de un árbol colgar
Wanted to hang him from a tree
Ahora sí
Now yes
¡Ánimo!
Cheer up!
