Horse
Horse, God put in the world to be a friend of a friend of yours
Doesn't speak, but understands everything when the owner comes to talk
In a gesture of gratitude, sometimes neighs with satisfaction
Seems to reflect in the eyes what goes deep in its heart
In a gesture of gratitude, sometimes neighs with satisfaction
Seems to reflect in the eyes what goes deep in its heart
Horse, war soldier, served as a trench to protect
Chewing the toughest bite that combat demands to not lose
Proud, always waiting for the command to advance
Never shying away from battle, always moving forward, never stopping
Proud, always waiting for the command to advance
Never shying away from battle, always moving forward, never stopping
Horse, with fire in its eyes, sniffing the road to continue
In the darkest night of all, it stays alert, anywhere
Hills, meadows, and ridges in a warrior stride, can't stop
Leaving the mark of its hooves on any road it passes through
Cavalry horse is a guiding star for a platoon
Only those who served the country in times of war know the mission
There's the civilian horse, with a steady trot, kind-hearted
That even offers its back to carry the beloved one
