Caballo Que No Galopa (Chacarera)
Ruben Alberto Benegas
Horse That Doesn't Gallop (Chacarera)
Horse that doesn't gallop
Goes straight to the slaughterhouse
And whoever death covers
Goes straight to winter
Riding alone and galloping
Like someone getting lost
With a soul in pain
On the path to the hills
Riding alone and galloping
Like someone just leaving
Tears under the poncho
Because real men don't cry
My dear little horse
This is all I ask of you
The dogs have chased us
But they won't catch me
Horse that doesn't gallop
Goes straight to the slaughterhouse
Stars that don't spend the night
Illuminate with the evening star
I'm a rider of the night
Gallop towards dawn
Far from my land
To not sell my guitar
I'm a rider of the night
One day it will clear up
I only ask my land
Not to forget me
My dear little horse
This is all I ask of you
The dogs have chased us
But they won't catch me
