Lyrics
Ta' muy malo el corralero
Y allá en 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
Como pretende que yo
Que lo crié de potrillo
Clave en su pecho un cuchillo
Porque el patrón lo ordenó
Déjelo nomás pastar
No rechace mi consejo
Que yo lo voy a enterrar
Cuando se muera de viejo
Junto al estero del bajo
Lo encontré tendido 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
Como pretende que yo
Que lo crié de potrillo
Clave en su pecho un cuchillo
Porque el patrón lo ordenó
Déjelo, nomás, pastar
No rechace mi consejo
Que yo lo voy a enterrar
Cuando se muera de viejo
Lyrics translation
Ta ' very bad the corralero
And there in the pasture as old is
You have to help him die
So he won't suffer anymore
You were always the right one.
And that's why you owe his ill relieve
How do you expect me to
That I raised him as a foal
Key to his chest a knife
Because the boss ordered it
Just let it graze
Don't refuse my advice
That I'm going to bury him
When he dies of old age
Next to the bass estuary
I found him lying almost on the exhale.
I approached very slowly
And I wanted to explain it to you
But seeing him resigned
My hand shook and I began to cry
How do you expect me to
That I raised him as a foal
Key to his chest a knife
Because the boss ordered it
Just let it graze
Don't refuse my advice
That I'm going to bury him
When he dies of old age
