Lyrics
Hay carreras clandestinas, carreras, carreras de la barranca
Entre barañas y espinas, allá lleve a mi potranca
Prieta como a mi me gusta, para sobarles el anca
Mirando a un potro y al dueño, le dije hagamos un trato
Le juego mi «Bailarina», contra su potro «El Retrato»
Cuantos caballos perdidos, y aquí la historia relato
Tal parecía que el potro, había escuchado la apuesta
Relinchaba y relinchaba, era su pecho una fiesta
En honor de mi potranca, que también estaba puesta
Además de la carrera, también corrió el nuevo peso
Esta vida es muy cortita, hay que gozarla y por eso
Hubo mariachis y banda, mi corredor era «El Hueso»
El potro en el partidero, se mostraba muy inquieto
«La Bailarina» tranquila, como consciente del reto
Relinchando le decía, vas a perder por coqueto
Se oyó un disparo de súper, súper carrera jugaron
Lo cierto es que aquel «Retrato», hasta mi rancho llevaron
El potro y «La Bailarina», enamorados quedaron
Lyrics translation
There are clandestine races, races, ravine races
Between barges and thorns, there I take my filly
Prieta as I like, to raise their hip
Looking at a Colt and the owner, I said Let's make a deal.
I play you my "ballerina", against your foal " the portrait»
How many horses lost, and here the story tells
Such seemed that the colt, had heard the bet
It was snirling and snirling, it was his chest a feast
In honor of my filly, which was also laid
In addition to the race, he also ran the new weight
This life is very short, you have to enjoy it and that's why
There were mariachis and band, my runner was " the bone»
The foal in the parter, was very restless
"The dancer" quiet, as aware of the challenge
Winking told him, you'll lose for flirtatious
A super shot was heard, super race played
The truth is that that "portrait", even my ranch took
The foal and "The Ballerina", in love were left
