Yegua Colorada
Antonio Aguilar
Red Mare
In a herd, I saw a colt that I liked
I went with the rancher, sir, I have a deal
I want him to give me a horse for my red mare
What kind of horse do you want to be able to deal with?
A buckskin colt that I saw yesterday in the corral
That cowboys and foremen haven't been able to tame
I saw him among ten horses, which was the most beautiful
If they left him tough, I'll take the toughness away
If I buy him, you'll see him going on his own
I'll give you fifteen hundred pesos and the colt I'll give you
I don't want him for a bargain, I thought of putting him in the cart
That cowboys and foremen have all been thrown off
After he got him, the cowboy talked to him
Now my horse plays with his red mare
He just gives me a little trouble because the game is tough
The rancher replied, don't say I'm afraid
Let's go to the office to deposit the money
We'll leave the race for February 2nd
The said day of the famous race arrived
Bets were flying towards the red mare
And nobody bet anything on the buckskin colt
The horses took off and the horse was not seen
It was covered in dust, what a violent horse
He just needed wings to fly in that wind
With this, I bid you farewell, forgive the poorly written
Here ends the story of a cowboy and a rancher
Of the red mare and the buckskin colt.
