Lyrics of Nana Del Caballo Grande - Camarón De La Isla, Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, Tomatito

Nana Del Caballo Grande (original)

Nana, niño, nana
del caballo grande
que no quiso el agua
que no quiso el agua.
El agua era negra
dentro de la rama.
Cuando llega al puente
se detiene y canta.
Quién dirá mi niño
lo que tiene el agua
con su larga cola
por sus verdes alas
heeeeee… aaaaay
heeeeee… aaaaay
Duermete clavel
que el caballo no quiere.
Duermete rosa
que el caballo se pone a llorar.

(translation)

Lullaby, child, lullaby
of the big horse
that the water did not want
who did not want the water.
the water was black
inside the branch.
when he reaches the bridge
she stops and sings.
Who will say my child
what is in the water
with its long tail
for their green wings
heeeeeee… aaaaay
heeeeeee… aaaaay
sleep carnation
that the horse does not want.
sleep pink
that the horse begins to cry.
