Caballo negro
Rolando Alárcon
Black Horse
(As sung by Pedro Messone on his album "The Loner" from 1966)
Black horse, black horse,
run easy with the wind;
that’s how my eyes saw you,
my heart so full of joy.
Black horse, black horse,
the night is searching for you,
it brings a cloak of stars
and my eyes are crying.
I’ll look for you in the night
among the hills,
your black mane will shine
from afar
and your horse, black horse,
you’ll have silver wings
up in the sky.
Black horse, black horse,
what roads have you traveled?
A wide path of clouds,
trails full of crosses.
Noble horse, noble horse,
you’ll have your dark star,
its light will come at night
to ease this pain.
