El Negro y El Tordillo

They ran in Salitrillo
A very Potosino ranch
The dark one against the gray one
Horse from fine to fine
The dark one from Jaramillo
And the other from Juan Merino

Merino was talking to him
There's no one like the gray one
So how much money do you have
Jaramillo replied
I have the dark horse
To race against the gray one

So whatever your mouth says
Juan told Ramón
But as he provoked
That bad decision
He sold 400 cattle, 10 leagues
And a stallion

And the race was set, my friend
The race was set and it was left
For the month of January

The two with four witnesses
At Don Severo's house
There they signed contracts
And left the money
The race was agreed
To be played in January

After a few weeks
The indicated date arrived
Merino very proud
Was walking his horse
The dark one looked nice
But didn't impress anyone

At the time of that shot
They came out like a cyclone
The dark one and that gray one
Flew like a plane
By just a few hands
The dark one became the champion
