Caballo Prieto Azabache Lyrics in English Vicente Fernández
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Caballo Prieto Azabache by Vicente Fernández from Spanish to English.
Caballo prieto azabache
Black shiny horse
¿Cómo olvidarte? Te debo la vida
How to forget you? I owe you my life
Cuando iban a fusilarme
When they were going to execute me
Las fuerzas leales de Pancho Villa
Pancho Villa's loyal forces
En una noche nublada
On a cloudy night
Una avanzada me sorprendió
An advance caught me by surprise
Y tras de ser desarmado
And after being disarmed
Fui sentenciado al paredón
I was sentenced to the firing squad
Ya cuando estaba en capilla
When I was in the death row
Le dijo Villa a su asistente
Villa told his assistant
'Me apartas ese caballo
"Take that horse away from me
Por educado y por obediente'
For being polite and obedient"
Sabía que no me escapaba
I knew I couldn't escape
Y solo pensaba en la salvación
And only thought about salvation
Y tú, mi prieto azabache
And you, my black shiny horse
También pensabas igual que yo
You were also thinking like me
Recuerdo que me dijeron
I remember they told me
'Pide un deseo pa' ajusticiarte'
"Make a wish before being executed"
'Yo quiero ser fusilado
"I want to be shot
En mi caballo prieto azabache'
On my black shiny horse"
Y cuando en ti me montaron
And when they mounted me on you
Y prepararon la ejecución
And prepared the execution
Mi voz de mando esperaste
You waited for my command
Y te abalanzaste sobre el pelotón
And you lunged at the firing squad
Con tres balazos de máuser
With three Mauser shots
Corriste, azabache, salvando mi vida
You ran, shiny horse, saving my life
Lo que tú hiciste conmigo
What you did for me
Caballo amigo, no se me olvida
My friend horse, I won't forget
No pude salvar la tuya
I couldn't save you
Y la amargura me hace llorar
And the bitterness makes me cry
Por eso, prieto azabache
That's why, black shiny horse
No he de olvidarte nunca jamás
I will never forget you
