Yo Quiero Un Caballo Negro
Atahualpa Yupanqui
I Want a Black Horse
(Song)
I want a black horse,
and some silver spurs.
I want a black horse,
and some silver spurs,
to catch the life,
that’s slipping away,
that’s slipping away.
I want a braided lasso,
a mix of bull and guanaco.
I want a braided lasso,
a mix of bull and guanaco,
to rope those dreams,
that ran away,
that ran away.
I want a poncho that’s got,
the color of the roads,
so I can wrap myself at night,
in my destiny,
in my destiny.
Horse, spurs, and lasso,
I think they won’t do me any good.
I don’t even need the poncho anymore.
I’m going to sleep,
I’m going to sleep,
I’m going to sleep.
