Esse Cavalo Que Tenho

This horse I have
Sees me and celebrates
And even from the shed
Watches over me through a crack!
When it neighs in the field
It wakes God from his nap
For its taurine neigh
Resembles the bugle of a quest!
Inherited vastness of the pampas
And mysteries of the forest

Has two moons in its eyes
And a heart right on its forehead
Plays races with the wind
When it gallops away
This horse I have
The only possession I have!

This horse I have
That lends me its own soul
When it neighs in the field
It wakes God from his nap
It seems like the Creole violin
Of Becho in the orchestra
And the soul of Dom Alfredo
In that masterful milonga
This horse I have
The only possession I have

If God rides this horse
I guarantee He rides with a smile
Who knows, it might be on a horse like this
That He descends from heaven
To awaken this land
That has long been lost
And see us find
The faith that has been forgotten

This horse I have
Never shies away from danger
It's a brother of fur and mane
That always walks with me
When I saddle this horse
And it sniffs out a campfire
It has the tone of an accordion
Flourishing with each neigh

This horse I have
That lends me its own soul
This horse I have
The only possession I have
