Lyrics
Caballo prieto azabache
Como olvidarte te debo la vida
Cuando iban a fusilarme
Las fuerzas leales de Pancho Villa
Fue aquella noche nublada
Una avanzada me sorprendio
Y despuÃ(c)s de desar marme
Fui condenado al paredón
Ya cuando estuve en capilla
Le dijo villa a su asistente
Me apartas ese caballo
Por educado y obediente
Sabia que no iba a escaparme
Solo pensaba en mi salvación
Y tu mi prieto azabache
Tambien pensaste igual que yo
Recuerdo que me dijeron
Pide un deseo pa' justiciarte
Yo quiero morir monta’o en mi caballo
Prieto azabache
Y cuando en ti me montaron
Y prepararon, la ejecucución
Mi voz de mando esperaste
Te abalanzaste sobre el pelotón
Con tres balazos de mauser
Corriste azabache, salvando mi vida
Lo que tu hiciste conmigo
Caballo amigo no se me olvida
No pude salvar la tuya
Y la amargura me hace llorar
Por eso prieto azabache
No he de olvidarte nunca jamás
Lyrics translation
Horse prieto azabache
How to forget you I owe you my life
When they were going to shoot me
The loyal forces of Pancho Villa
It was that cloudy night
An advanced surprised me
And after desar marme
I was condemned to the wall
Even when I was in Chapel
Villa told his assistant
You take that horse away from me.
By polite and obedient
I knew I wasn't gonna run away.
I was just thinking about my salvation.
And you my prieto azabache
You thought the same way I did.
I remember being told
Make a wish for justice
I want to die on my horse
Prieto azabache
And when they set me up in you
And they prepared, and executed it
My command voice you waited
You pounced on the platoon.
With three bullets from mauser
You ran azabache, saving my life
What you did to me
Horse friend I don't forget
I couldn't save yours.
And bitterness makes me cry
That's why prieto azabache
I'll never forget you
