El Cantador Lyrics in English Vicente Fernández
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song El Cantador by Vicente Fernández from Spanish to English.
Nació debajo 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', y al potrillo del Cantador'
They called her "La Catrina", and the colt "El Cantador"
Era un potro 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 very fast
Era lindo mi caballo
My horse was beautiful
Era mi amigo más fiel
He was my most loyal friend
Ligerito como el rayo
Quick as lightning
Era de muy buena ley
He was of very good stock
Cuando era de falsa rienda, daba ventaja a su madre
When he had a fake rein, he gave his mother a head start
Muy pronto dejó a su padre, con dos cuerpos le ganó
Very soon he left his father behind, he beat him by two lengths
Era de pelo retinto, dosalbo y con un lucero
He was dark-coated, two-white, with a blaze
Muy fachoso y mitotero, y lindo de corazón
Very flashy and showy, and lovely at heart
Era lindo mi caballo
My horse was beautiful
Era mi amigo más fiel
He was my most loyal friend
Ligerito como el rayo
Quick as lightning
Era de muy buena ley
He was of very good stock
Nació debajo de una higuera y en el potrero quedó
He was born under a fig tree and stayed in the pasture
Qué lástima que muriera mi compañero mejor
What a shame that my best companion died
Por eso cuando el sol muere y la luna va a salir
That's why, when the sun dies and the moon is about to rise
Me voy hasta aquel potrero, mis recuerdos a vivir
I go to that pasture to live my memories
Era lindo mi caballo
My horse was beautiful
Era mi amigo más fiel
He was my most loyal friend
Ligerito como el rayo
Quick as lightning
Era de muy buena ley
He was of very good stock
