Below, I translated the lyrics of the song El Toro Viejo by Pepe Aguilar from Spanish to English.
Por ahí viene el caporal
That's where the foreman comes
Cayéndose de borracho
falling down drunk
Por ahí viene el caporal
That's where the foreman comes
Cayéndose de borracho
falling down drunk
Diciéndole a los vaqueros: 'Échenme
Telling the cowboys: 'Throw me out
Ese toro gacho'
That crouched bull
Diciéndole a los vaqueros: 'Échenme
Telling the cowboys: 'Throw me out
Ese toro gacho'
That crouched bull
'Aja, toro, que allá va' (Lázalo)
'Aha, bull, here he goes' (Lázalo)
'Ya lo lacé' (Amárralo)
'I already tied it' (Tie it up)
'Ya lo amarré' (Piálalo)
'I've tied it up' (Piálalo)
'Ya lo pialé' (Túmbalo, hombre)
'Ya lo pialé' (Throw it down, man)
'Ya lo tumbé' 'El pretal'
'I already knocked him down' 'The pretal'
'Ya se lo eché' (Asiérralo, hombre)

'Ya lo aserré' (Móntale, hombre)
'I already sawed him' (Ride him, man)
'Ya le monté' (Capotéalo, hombre)

'Lo capoteé' (Llama a cabresto)
'I capotelo' (Calls capresto)
'Eso no sé' ay, si no sabes, te enseñaré

'Ea, ea, ea, ea'
'Ea, ea, ea, ea'
'Muchachos, allá va el toro
'Boys, there goes the bull
No se lo dejen llegar
Don't let him get to you
Porque ese toro es muy bravo

No los vaya a revolcar
I'm not going to mess them up
Ahí les mandaré el capote pa
There I will send you the cape
Que lo puedan torear'
That they can bullfight him
La vaca era colorada y el becerrito era moro
The cow was red and the calf was Moorish

Si quieres comer salitre
If you want to eat saltpeter

Mi pecho con gusto se haya

Yo habito en un jacalito
I live in a hut
Por fuera de la muralla
Outside the wall
