Lyrics

Nació bajo de una higuera
Su madre fue yegua fina
Le llamaban La Catrina
A el potrillo «El Cantador.»
Era un potro con más brío
Que otro caballo cualquiera
Y como yo lo hice mío
Resultó muy corredor
Era lindo mi caballo
Era mi amigo más fiél
Ligerito como el rayo
Era de muy buena ley
Cuando era de falsa rienda
Daba ventaja a su madre
Muy pronto dejó a su padre
Con dos cuerpos le ganó
Era de pelo retinto
Rosalbo como un lucero
Muy fachoso mitotero
Y lindo de corazón
Era lindo mi caballo…
Nació bajo una higuera
Y en el potrero quedó
Qué lástima que muriera
Mi compañero mejor
Por éso cuando el sol muere
Y la luna va a salir
Me voy hasta aquél potrero
Mis recuerdos a vivir
Era lindo mi caballo…

Lyrics translation

Born under a fig tree
His mother was a fine mare
They called him the Catrina.
To the colt " the singer.»
He was a colt with more rapture
That any other horse
And as I made it mine
It turned out very runner
My horse was cute
He was my most faithful friend
Light as lightning
It was a very good law.
When I was on a false rein
He gave his mother an advantage
Very soon he left his father
With two bodies he beat him
It was straight hair.
Rosalbo like a night star
Very fachoso mitotero
And cute heart
My horse was cute…
Born under a fig tree
And in the pasture remained
Too bad he died.
My best partner
That's why when the sun dies
And the moon will come out
I'm going to that potrero
My memories to live
My horse was cute…
