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 him 'La Catrina', and the colt of the Singer'
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 when I made him mine, he turned out to be a great runner
Era lindo mi caballo
My horse was beautiful
Era mi amigo más fiel
He was my most loyal friend
Ligerito como el rayo
As fast as lightning
Era de muy buena ley
He was of very good breed
Cuando era de falsa rienda, daba ventaja a su madre
When he was under false reins, he surpassed his mother
Muy pronto dejó a su padre, con dos cuerpos le ganó
He quickly left his father behind, winning by two lengths
Era de pelo retinto, dosalbo y con un lucero
He had a dark coat, with a white blaze and a star
Muy fachoso y mitotero, y lindo de corazón
Very stylish and full of life, and beautiful 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
As fast as lightning
Era de muy buena ley
He was of very good breed
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 pity 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 relive 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
As fast as lightning
Era de muy buena ley
He was of very good breed
