Besta Ruana

I had a sorrel beast, I named her princess
There was no other like her within a hundred leagues
On the back of the sorrel, I accomplished over a thousand feats
This spirited beast was truly a beauty!

I took care of the sorrel with all delicacy
If a herd broke loose, I gathered them with certainty
I crossed the brown river without fear of the current
This spirited beast, swift by nature

One day disaster struck on the path by the dam
I fell down a cliff, the sorrel got stuck
The beast tried to get up, but lacked the strength
And broke both legs, ending my princess

I grabbed the rifle, aimed with great determination
The sorrel neighed as if in defense
I saw tears running from the princess's eye
I killed her with two shots, then cried in sadness

I dug a grave, buried my treasure
Made a cross of garlic wood, left four candles lit
On the cross, I wrote a sign, clearly stating
I killed to spare my beloved princess from suffering!
