Caballo Viejo
Leo Jimenez
Old Horse
When I saw you coming
That street lit up
Peculiar smile
That left me breathless
And even though I know it's not the time
For a fairy tale and more love
With you began an encouraging sigh
And even though
I know I'm a little old
To steal some of your kisses
I feel you're a woman
But I still see a girl in front of me
And I'll know how to wait for my day in front of you
And if there's an end
I'll ask to spend it with you
If there's a story in the end
For an old horse
That still moves its mane
I see you bloom every year and I stay still
Knowing that you're already being courted in the games
And at that age I understand that you must do it and learn
It's good that at twenty you already know what to do
And when the day comes
When it's not so bad
To see a whole woman
Holding my hand
When the years don't matter anymore
And this old man isn't so much
I'll hug you every second
Your straight hair
And if there's an end
I'll ask to spend it with you
If there's a story in the end
For this old colt
That still moves its mane
I'll catch my breath if you love me
Time dressed eternally in your gaze
Today I write you these verses without words
And I hope to sing it to your face
And feel all your skin blushing
Fearful of meeting my soul
That day will come, I have hope
That I can love you in the end without hiding it at last
And it doesn't matter what they say
Ououo
And if there's an end
I just hope you're close to me
My story in the end
This old horse
Is happy again
I'll catch my breath if you love me
Time dressed eternally in your gaze
Today I write you these verses without words
And I hope to sing it to your face
And feel all your skin blushing
Fearful of meeting my soul
That day will come, I have hope
That I can love you in the end without hiding it at last
And it doesn't matter what they say
Ououou
