Caballo de Acero

Plowing the land
He covers and uncovers
Sometimes he buries
What he doesn't like
If the cut is even
He's a man of the saw
Always wears his hat
During the day the sun hides it
And at night he doesn't calm down

Calm isn't the one who falls
Calm is how he carries himself
He has patience
To handle the horses
He takes his time
When they don't cooperate
Cooperate or not cooperate
I do it my way
'Cause I'm the one in charge

The one who doesn't cause much trouble
Is a noble beast
I've handled him
He's the steel horse
Many know him
I know they've talked
Though there are some folks
I haven't heard
Make comments

How beautiful the ranch is
Especially when it's tended
You're on alert
'Cause if you let your guard down
The weeds cross
Then you regret it
I make channels and dams
Also springs
With great certainty

I don't know what they call me
I also don't know
How they identify me
But my name is Manuel
I'm Torres Nacientes
From good roots
I like the thrills
Of good deeds
I have scars

I cling to the impossible
And sometimes I achieve it
And sometimes I hold back
I recognize the good support
That my achievements give me
Guaranteed
Partner and effective arm
My name is Manuel
And soon I'll see you all again
