Lyrics
Lo conoci de potrillo galopando en la pradera
LO CONOCI DE POTRILLO GALOPANDO EN LA PRADERA
Y yo le puse «el tordillo» tordillo
Por que su pelo asi era, de veras
Y lo eduque de chiquillo
Nadamas para las trincheras
Cuando ya vi que era hora
Le compre su buena silla
CUANDO YA VI QUE ERA HORA
LE COMPRE SU BUENA SILLA
Mi 30−30 canana y pistola
Y mi tordillo decia decia
«ya se nos vino la bola
Y nos vamos con pancho villa
Mi tordillo era entendido
Y por nada lo cambiaba
MI TORDILLO ERA ENTENDIDO
Y POR NADA LO CAMBIABA
Cuando nos vimos perdidos, perdidos
Por Obregon en Celaya, en Celaya
Nomas pego un relinchido
Y nos fuimos para Chihuahua
Me demostro ser amigo
Cerca de Torreon, Coahuila
ME DEMOSTRO SER AMIGO
CERCA DE TORREON, COAHUILA
No obstante estar malherido el tordillo
Me llevo a la cerrania enseguida
Salvandome del peligro
Pero dando por mi su vida
El tiempo ha transcurrido
Del tordillo nada queda
EL TIEMPO HA TRANSCURRIDO
DEL TORDILLO NADA QUEDA
A su nobleza suspiro y suspiro
Al recordarlo como era y quien era
Ya parece que lo miro
Galopando por la pradera
Lyrics translation
I met him as a colt galloping in the meadow
I MET HIM AS A COLT GALLOPING IN THE MEADOW
And I put "the tordillo" tordillo
Because her hair was like that, really.
And I raised him as a kid
Swimmings for the trenches
When I saw it was time
I bought him his good chair.
WHEN I SAW IT WAS TIME
I BOUGHT HIM HIS GOOD CHAIR.
My 30-30 canana and pistol
And my Twine said it said it
"we've had the ball
And we're going with pancho villa
My tordillo was understood
And for nothing changed it
MY TORDILLO WAS UNDERSTOOD
AND FOR NOTHING CHANGED IT
When we were lost, lost
By Obregon in Celaya, in Celaya
I just winked.
And we went to Chihuahua
I prove to be a friend
Near Torreon, Coahuila
I PROVE TO BE A FRIEND
NEAR TORREON, COAHUILA
However the tortillo is badly injured
I'll take the cerrania right away.
Saving me from danger
But giving for me his life
Time has passed
Nothing left of the tordillo
TIME HAS PASSED
NOTHING LEFT OF THE TORDILLO
To your nobility sigh and sigh
Remembering him as he was and who he was
Looks like I'm looking at it.
Galloping across the meadow
