The page contains the lyrics and English translation of the song "El Regalo" by Vicente Fernandez.
Lyrics
De corazón de chamaco, y de estampa primorosa
Más que mi cuaco de estima, era para mí otra cosa
Mi amigo, mí confidente, en los triunfos y derrotas
Allá en Jojutla Morelos, me encontré al Jefe Zapata
Se enamoro de mi cuaco, al mirar su fina estampa
Y yo le dije «Mi jefe», tómelo para la causa
Para la patria mi vida, por eso di mi caballo
El se paraba derecho al sentirse en otras manos
Me hablaba con relinchidos, cuando yo me fui llorando
Yo le serví de pilmama porque se quedo sin madre
Murió la yegua en el parto y en mis brazos pudo criarse
Yo lo quise como a un hijo, y el ami como a su padre
Por eso me duele el alma cuando se lo di a Zapata
Yo no tuve hijos de sangre para darlos a la patria
Por eso di me cabalo y con el también el alma
Después de servir bonito en los campos de batalla
Lo mataron en combate en las cercanías de Cuautla
Y así termino el potrillo que le regale a Zapata
Lyrics translation
Of chamaco heart, and of exquisite print
More than my esteem, it was something else for me
My friend, my confidant, in the triumphs and defeats
Back in Jojutla Morelos, I met Chief Zapata.
He fell in love with my cuaco, looking at his fine print
And I said "My boss", take it for the cause
For the Fatherland my life, that's why I gave my horse
He stood straight as he felt in other hands
He was talking to me with a squeak, when I went crying
I served him as a pilmama because he has no mother
The mare died in childbirth and in my arms was able to be raised
I loved him as a son, and the ami as his father
That's why my soul hurts when I gave it to Zapata
I did not have blood children to give them to the homeland
So say Me cabalo and with him also the soul
After serving nice on the battlefields
He was killed in combat in the vicinity of Cuautla
And so ends the colt that gives Zapata
