Cuando mi padre murió
When My Father Died
Entre otras cosas dejó
Among other things he left
Ahí por Jalisco, un ranchito
There for Jalisco, a ranchito
Dejó una silla plateada
Left a silver chair
Su pistola niquelada
Your nickel-plated pistol
Y un caballo muy bonito
And a very nice horse
No se dejaba ensillar
He didn't let himself be saddled
Y mucho menos montar
Let alone ride
De cualquier entrometido
From any intruders
Pero yo lo acariciaba
But I caressed him
Como mi padre le hablaba
As my father spoke to him
Y acabó siendo mi amigo
And he ended up being my friend.
Se llamaba El Cascabel
It was called El Cascabel
No había caballo como él
There was no horse like him
Tan ladino y presumido
So ladino and smug
Pero extrañaba a mi padre
But I missed my father.
Yo le notaba al montarle
I could tell him riding him
Tristeza en su relinchido
Sadness in his neighing
Un día me fui a galopar
One day I went to gallop
Alguien lo quiso comprar
Someone wanted to buy it
Me daban lo que quisiera
They gave me whatever I wanted.
Con las orejas paradas
With your ears standing
Aventó un par de patadas
He threw a couple of kicks
Como si el penco entendiera
As if the penco understood
Pero un día se me escapó
But one day it escaped me
Cuando mi padre cumplió
When my father fulfilled
De su muerte un año exacto
From his death an exact year
Y aquel caballo precioso
And that beautiful horse
Se fue a matar en un pozo
He went to kill himself in a well
Cerquita del campo santo
Near the holy field
Aquel caballo murió
That horse died
Porque nunca se olvidó
Because he never forgot
Del que fue su amo querido
Of the one who was his beloved master
Dicen que allá en Monte Grande
They say that there in Monte Grande
Del caballo de mi padre
From my father's horse
Se escucha su relinchido
His neighing is heard
