Pelajes Entreveraos

Had a cute little golden
Came out of a mountain with a gate
Half swamp, crooked list
And just a little fang
Because of the white on the elbows
It was my tough lizard
Strong in encounter and quarters
Like a swift deer
Not even the lightning bolts could see him
He was tired of winning

He was taken by the rosemary
For lending him a turn
No more loose grabs
My golden one went out
Today I have a speckled roan
Of the so-called sabino
And like a good Argentine
I couldn't miss
Two spotted ones to change
One blond, the other dun

A damn dirty spotted one
Got me out of a thousand troubles
Branded by Remigio Luro
They had given him to me
From there came a bragging one
A dun, a spotted one
An old mule zaino
A dark hindquarter, a muddy one
And a cute lively pigeon
A snowy one, a blue one

I tamed some little mares
Black manes, several dark ones
Bad faces, bull blood
And a masked roan
A red one with a white throat
A little spotted star
A pink one, a piebald zaino
And like a brushstroke
I had a black Algerian zaino
And a piebald necker

I can distinguish a job
A white beak, a wolf-like one
Snowy hindquarter and tawny
Moorish roan and crossed
Handled from behind, the striped one
Mule stripe, the half-breed
Spot, painted, yaguané
Rabicano, and just in case
One, two, three, and four white ones
Well shod and dapple gray

I don't kill the bays
Oranges, whites, roans
Pampas, duns, enclosed
The canary, the duck egg
And to close the deal
Raining and not raining is the mint
I have referred to the storm
For many mixed coats
And if I forgot something
Start counting
