Lyrics
Este es el corrido del caballo blanco
que en un dia domingo feliz arrancara
iba con la mira de llegar al norte habiendo salido de Guadalajara
su noble jinete le quito la rienda le quito la silla y se fue a cuero pelon
cruzo como rayo tierras Nayaritas entre cielos verdes y el azul del cielo
a paso mas lento llego hasta Escuinapan y por Culiacan ya se andaba quedando
Cuentan que en los Mochis ya se iba cayendo que llevaba todo que el hocico
sangrando
Pero lo miraron pasar por Sonora y el Valle del Yaqui le dio su ternura
dicen que cojeaba de la pata izquierda y a pesar de todo siguió su aventura
llego hasta Hermosillo siguió pa’Caborca
y por Mexicalli sintió que moría
subió paso a paso por la Rumorosa llegando a Tijuana con la luz del dia
Cumplida su hazaña se fué a Rosarito y no quizo echarse hasta ver Ensenada
y este fue el corrido del caballo blanco que salió un domingo de Guadalajara
(Merci à vebo pour cettes paroles)
Lyrics translation
This is the white horse race
that on a Happy Sunday day would start
I was aiming to reach the North having left Guadalajara
his noble Horseman took his rein off his chair and went to Pelon leather
I cross like lightning Nayarite lands between green skies and blue skies
at a slower pace I reached Escuinapan and Culiacan was already staying
They say that in the Mochis was already falling that carried all that snout
bleed
But they watched him pass through Sonora and the Yaqui Valley gave him his tenderness
they say he limped off his left leg and yet he continued his adventure
I got as far as Hermosillo followed PA'caborca
and by Mexicalli he felt he was dying
he climbed step by step through the noisy arriving in Tijuana with daylight
After his feat he went to Rosarito and would not lie down until he saw Ensenada
and this was the race of the white horse that came out one Sunday from Guadalajara
(Thanks to vebo for these words)
