A Caballo
Silvio Rodriguez
On Horseback
On horseback begins the delirium of this race
On horseback of my kiss, on horseback of spring
On horseback we fall into the river
On horseback we extinguish the cold
On horseback the clasps are jumped
On horseback the night is illuminated
On horseback love
On horseback bathed in sweat
On horseback we reach vice
and I swear it's not a sacrifice.
On horseback I would like to have a view with you
On horseback and early so that the track lengthens
On horseback you would ride safely
on the healthiest mount.
On horseback the saints pervert
and pain and torture amuse
On horseback love
galloping towards the grand prize
On horseback passing the hare
and a troubadour singing of fever
On horseback curing low blood pressure
On horseback erasing ignominies, miseries, and hunger
On horseback imparting justice
claiming the country with Alicia
On horseback without discriminating
On horseback completely to love each other
On horseback love
unbridled at full speed
On horseback so necessary
I feel more revolutionary.
