Translation of the song lyrics El Califa - ANTONIO AGUILAR

El Califa (original)

Señores voy a cantarles
El corrido de un caballo
Que se llamaba el Califa
Color Alazan Dorado
Su dueño el doctor Anaya
Medico muy afamado
Jamas perdio una carrera
Yo lo guado en mi recuerdo
Como que el penco salia
Ya ahi en sus patas llevaba
El prestigio de su pueblo
De aquel caballo ligero
Solo un corrido quedo
Porque una noche de luna
De su corral se salio
Muerto cayo en la ladera
Del rancho donde nacio
Y cuentan algunas gentes
Que el mero dia de San Carlos
Se oye el relincho de un cuaco
Y los grito de un jinete
Animando a su caballo
Aaaaah Califa, Aaaaah caballo
De alla del rancho de Trejo
Hasta el cerro de San Carlos
Agarren apostadores
Yano volvera el califa
Y anda por el partidero
Una potranca bonita
Criadero del mismo dueño
Viva la sierra chiquita
Y cuentan algunas gentes
Que el mero dia de San Carlos
Se oye el relincho de un cuaco
Y los grito de un jinete
Animando a su caballo
Aaaaah Califa, Aaaaah caballo
De alla del rancho de Trejo
Hasta el cerro de San Carlos

El Califa (translation)

Gentlemen, I'm going to sing to you
The run of a horse
What was the name of the Caliph?
Color Golden Chestnut
Its owner, Dr. Anaya
very famous doctor
never lost a race
I keep it in my memory
as the penco came out
Already there in his legs he was carrying
The prestige of your town
Of that light horse
Only one corrido remains
Because one moonlit night
He came out of his corral
Dead fell on the hillside
From the ranch where he was born
And some people say
That the mere day of San Carlos
The neigh of a cuaco is heard
And I shout them from a horseman
cheering on his horse
Aaaaah Caliph, Aaaaah horse
From beyond the Trejo ranch
Up to the hill of San Carlos
grab gamblers
The caliph will return
And go through the partisan
a pretty filly
Kennel of the same owner
Long live the small mountain
And some people say
That the mere day of San Carlos
The neigh of a cuaco is heard
And I shout them from a horseman
cheering on his horse
Aaaaah Caliph, Aaaaah horse
From beyond the Trejo ranch
Up to the hill of San Carlos
