Below, I translated the lyrics of the song El Cantador by Majo Aguilar from Spanish to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Nació bajo de una higuera, su madre fue yegua fina
He was born under a fig tree, his mother was a fine mare
Le llamaban 'La Catrina', yo le puse 'El Cantador'
They called him 'La Catrina', I put him 'El Cantador'
Fue un potrillo con más brío que otro caballo cualquiera
He was a colt with more spirit than any other horse
Y como yo lo hice mío, resultó muy corredor
And since I made him mine, he turned out to be very runner
Era lindo mi caballo
he was cute my horse
Era mi amigo más fiel
He was my most faithful friend
Ligerito como el rayo
light as lightning
Era de muy buena ley
He was very good law
Cuando era de falsa rienda, daba ventaja a su madre
When he was false rein, he gave his mother an advantage
Muy pronto dejó a su padre, con dos cuerpos le ganó
Very soon he left his father, with two bodies he won her
Era de pelo retinto, dos albos con un lucero
He was red-haired, two whites with a star
Muy fachoso y mitotero y lindo de corazón
Very fachoso and mitotero and cute at heart
Era lindo mi caballo
he was cute my horse
Era mi amigo más fiel
He was my most faithful friend
Ligerito como el rayo
light as lightning
Era de muy buena ley
He was very good law
Nació bajo una higuera y en el potrero quedó
He was born under a fig tree and in the pasture he was left
Qué lástima que muriera mi compañero mejor
Too bad my best partner died
Por eso cuando el sol muere y la luna va a salir
That's why when the sun dies and the moon is going to rise
Me voy hasta a aquél potrero sus recuerdos a vivir
I'm going to that pasture to live the memories of him
Era lindo mi caballo
he was cute my horse
Era mi amigo más fiel
He was my most faithful friend
Ligerito como el rayo
light as lightning
Era de muy buena ley
He was very good law
Era lindo mi caballo
he was cute my horse
Era de muy buena ley
He was very good law
