El Alazan
Atahualpa Yupanqui
The Stallion
It was a ribbon of fire
Galloping, galloping
Mane tangled in flames
My stallion, I'm calling you
I climb the mountains with the moon
Crossed the snow-covered valleys
We walked a hundred roads
My stallion, I'm calling you
Dark foggy lasso
It roped you by the ravine
How did you not see it?
What star were you looking for?
At the bottom of the abyss
Not a voice to call it
Alone it went dying
My horse, my horse
In a fork of the tala tree
There's a lonely saddlebag
And there's a corral without neighs
My stallion, I'm calling you
If as some say
There are heavens for good horses
There my freight will be
Galloping, galloping
Dark foggy lasso
It roped you by the ravine
How did you not see it?
What star were you looking for?
At the bottom of the abyss
Not a voice to call it
Alone it went dying
My horse, my horse
