The page contains the lyrics and English translation of the song "El Corralero" by Javier Calamaro.
Lyrics
Ta muy malo el corralero
que hay el potrero
como viejo está,
hay que ayudarlo a que muera
para que no sufra más.
Siempre fuiste el más certero
y por eso debes su mal aliviar.
¿Cómo pretenden que yo que lo cuidé de potrillo
clave en su pecho un cuchillo
porque el patrón lo ordenó?.
Dejenló nomás pastar
no rechacen mi consejo,
que yo lo voy a enterrar
cuando se muera de viejo.
Junto al estero del bajo
lo encontré dormido
casi al expirar
me acerqué muy lentamente
y se lo quise explicar
pero al verlo resignado
me tembló la mano
y me puse a llorar…
Lyrics translation
Ta very bad the corralero
that there is the potrero
how old he is,
you have to help him die
so he won't suffer any more.
You were always the right one.
and that's why you owe her a bad relief.
How do you pretend that I took care of him colt
key to his chest a knife
why did the boss order it?.
Let him just graze
don't refuse my advice,
that I'm going to bury him
when he dies old.
Next to the bass estuary
I found him asleep.
almost on expiration
I approached very slowly
and I wanted to explain it to you
but seeing him resigned
my hand shook
and I started to cry…
