El Alazan y El Rosillo
Leandro Ríos
The Bay Horse and the Sorrel Horse
On the 19th
Of March
Present
I have it
Me
The horse
Of the poor
In San
Fernando
He ran
The horses
That ran
Were not
Big
Nor were
Small
The sorrel horse
Of the poor
And the bay horse
Of the rich
They shout
Those from Mocorito
Just
To spend
Money
Here we have
10
Thousand pesos
For the bay horse
For being swift
Those from Bamoa
Answer
Enough
Of so much fuss
We ran out
Of money
We have
Oxen
And cows
Around
11:40
They start
From the starting point
Around
50 yards
The swift one
Stayed behind
They take
The sorrel horse
They take him
To the mountains
Go away
Wretched
Go
Steal
In your land
