Se Largó Caballo
Los Zorzales
The Horse Took Off
Hang up the ropes
Flip the mattress
To air out the sweat
And puffing on a homemade cigarette
Scaring some chickens, heading to the barn
Olivera with his omens
It's raining from the heat
There's time to act like a cowboy
And tangled up some ropes while tying a button
The weekly hand is running late
Who’s rounding up the cattle
To lighten the load
"Yell out 'get lost!'" to the dogs
Who got lost in the dark
The caretaker greets me
With the kettles against a log
And right there a meeting starts
One of those good old ones with mate and a fire
The horse took off
And there in the kitchen, the crew gathers
Weekly mate wrapping up the day
Hearty food to handle the shock
The horse took off
The night wins with a whistle of the crickets
The silence heavy with natural sounds
The ranch falls asleep in a low firelight
They expand their campfire tales
In breaking and roping
Which one of them is better
Old honor of our countrymen
With their healthy vice of hard work
Miguel Sena laughs quietly
A man who’s well-fed doesn’t boast
Gaucho things comb through his gray hair
After a bell that calls for dinner
Before saddling the horses
They beat the rooster
To grill some meat
Greasing up the mustache with bitterness
And the red horizon wanting to brighten
The stable filled up
And they saddle up without delay
In the way of herding some lapwings
My cowboy pride went to work
The horse took off
And there in the kitchen, the crew gathers
Weekly mate wrapping up the day
Hearty food to handle the shock
The horse took off
The night wins with a whistle of the crickets
The silence heavy with natural sounds
The ranch falls asleep in a low firelight
