Caballo Viejo



Cuando el amor llega
Así de esta manera
Uno no se da ni cuenta
El carutal reverdece
El guamachito florece
Y la soga se revienta

Cuando el amor llega
Así de esta manera
Uno no se da ni cuenta
El carutal reverdece
El guamachito florece
Y la soga se revienta

Caballo le dan sabana
Porque está viejo y cansa'o
Pero no se dan ni cuenta
Que un corazón amarra'o
Cuando le sueltan las riendas
Es caballo desboca'o

Y si una potra alazana
Caballo viejo se encuentra
El pecho se le desgrana
No le hace caso a falseta
Y no le obedece al freno
Ni lo paran falsas riendas

Cuando el amor llega
Así de esta manera
Uno no tiene la culpa
Quererse no tiene horario
Ni fecha en el calendario
Cuando las ganas se juntan

Cuando el amor llega
Así de esta manera
Uno no tiene la culpa
Quererse no tiene horario
Ni fecha en el calendario
Cuando las ganas se juntan

Caballo le dan sabana
Y tiene el tiempo conta'o
Y se va por la mañana
Con su pasito apura'o
A verse con su potranca
Que lo tiene embarbasca'o

El potro da tiempo al tiempo
Porque le sobra la edad
Caballo viejo no puede
Perder la flor que le dan
Porque después de esta vida
No hay otra oportunidad

English:

When love comes
Just like this
Nobody takes notice
The forest turns green
The guamachito blooms
And the rope breaks

When a horse is given pasture
Because he is old and tired
They don't realise
That when a heart is tied
And they let go of the reins
He is a runaway horse

And if threre's a chestnut filly
The old horse finds
Its chest breaks
He doesn't pay attention to false reins
And he doesn't obey the bridle
Nor false reins stop it

When love comes
Just like this
No one is to blame
Love has no schedule
Nor date on the calendar
When desires comes

A horse is given plains
And his time is short
And he leaves in the morning
With his hurried step
To see his filly
That has him entangled

The horse gives time to time
Because he is old
An old horses cannot
Waste the flower that they give them
Because after this life
There is no other chance

When love comes
Just like this
One does not even notice
The Forest turns green
The guamachito blooms
And the rope breaks

I had to go see what Guamachitos are, too. They are also magnificent.



Thank you for this surprise. It's huge.
