Romance Del Que Quedó a Pie

Because you cut the reins
Because you jumped the fences
And took off galloping
Through fields of distance
Because you left me stranded
All alone and far from home
And racing with the wind
You go wherever you please

Because you don’t feel my weight
Or the sting of my spurs
Or the whip of my hand
Leaving marks on your flanks

Because without bridle or reins
Free to roll around as you like
You think you’re loose like water
As if the one once saddled
Could run wild again
As if the one who once obeyed
Could be stopped again
As if the mare could... Become a filly again
For me, you can run wherever your whims call
I won’t be the one to chase you even if I need you bad
Because once you get used to a saddle, you don’t just change it
I won’t go claim you back even if you fall into bad hands
I won’t follow your trail, not even if I found you one day
Even if you played the lame one and came close stretching your neck
I wouldn’t throw the lasso
I don’t want anything by force even if I’m dying for it
What I get, has to be given willingly, and if not... Not even water!
The one who seeks me, finds me
The one who wrongs me, pays
And the one who takes from me
Returns when I no longer need it

You gallop on, in the meantime
I’ll keep walking my path
Because even if you manage to unseat me
With saddle and all from your soul
And even if you find another owner
Who fits your tricks
You’ll never escape
The sting of my brand

Brand of blood and fire
Brand of kisses and tears that I gave you that night at dawn
When I roped you, wild filly, I let you go, seasoned mare
That’s why I’m not in a hurry, because I know that from a distance
I’ll still be your owner in good times and bad
Because whether you want it or not, and even if you buck in rage
You’ll have to die carrying… My brand imprinted on your flank

(Sung) You’ll have to die carrying
(Spoken) my brand imprinted on your flank
(Sung) You’ll have to die carrying
(Spoken) my brand imprinted on your flank
(Sung) You’ll have to die carrying
(Spoken) my brand imprinted on your flank
