Translation of the song lyrics Mi Amigo el Tordillo - Vicente Fernandez

Mi Amigo el Tordillo (original)

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

Mi Amigo el Tordillo (translation)

I met him as a colt galloping in the meadow
I KNEW HIM AS A FOAL GALLOPING IN THE MEADOW
And I called him "el tordillo" tordillo
Because his hair was like that, really
And I educated him as a child
Nothing for the trenches
When I saw that it was time
I bought her a good chair
WHEN I SAW THAT IT WAS TIME
I BUY HIM HIS GOOD CHAIR
My 30−30 cartridge belt and pistol
And my dapple said
«the ball has already come to us
And we're going with pancho villa
my dapple was understood
And I wouldn't change it for anything
MY DAZZLE WAS UNDERSTOOD
AND I WOULD NOT CHANGE IT FOR ANYTHING
When we saw ourselves lost, lost
By Obregon in Celaya, in Celaya
I just hit a whinny
And we went to Chihuahua
I proved to be a friend
Near Torreon, Coahuila
PROVE ME TO BE A FRIEND
NEAR TORREON, COAHUILA
Notwithstanding, the dapple was badly injured
He took me to the cerrania right away
saving me from danger
But giving his life for me
time has passed
Nothing remains of the tordillo
THE TIME HAS PASSED
OF THE TORDILLO NOTHING LEFT
To her nobility she sigh and sigh
Remembering him as he was and who he was
It already seems that I look at it
Galloping through the meadow
