Lyrics of El Campeon - ANTONIO AGUILAR

El Campeon (original)

45 mil pesos
Me dieron por mi caballo
Creia que habia robado
Pero estaba equivocado
Porque despues lo vendieron
En un precio exagerado
Se lo llevaron pal norte
De los Estados Unidos
Despues por todito el mundo
De hipodromos conocidos
Alcanzando el campeonato
Sobre caballos muy finos
Pero un dia quiso el destino
Que yo lo viera correr
Jugaban una fortuna
Y el cuaco me alcanzo a ver
Y relinchando me dijo
Que ahi queria perder
Cuando perdio se escucharon
Insultos con el caballo
Su dueño grito enojado
Se vende este desgrasiado
Y yo le di 100 mil pesos
Llevandomelo a mi lado
Caundo llegamos al rancho
Muy alegre retozaba
Reconociendo los campos
Donde conmigo se criara
Y muy feliz mi caballo
De vez en cuando entrenaba
Volvio a correr mi caballo
Y fue de nuevo el campeon
Haciendome millonario
Y dandome una leccion
Amigo que es verdadero
Nunca le juegues traicion

(translation)

45 thousand pesos
they gave me for my horse
I thought I had stolen
but i was wrong
Because later they sold it
at an exaggerated price
They took him to the north
From United States
After all the world
From known racecourses
reaching the championship
On very fine horses
But one day fate wanted
That I saw him run
played a fortune
And the cuaco managed to see me
And neighing he told me
that I wanted to lose there
When he lost they were heard
Insults with the horse
His owner shouted angrily at him
This slob is for sale
And I gave him 100 thousand pesos
taking him by my side
When we got to the ranch
very happy frolicked
Recognizing the fields
where he would grow up with me
And very happy my horse
From time to time he trained
I ran my horse again
And he was again the champion
making me a millionaire
and giving me a lesson
friend that is true
never play treason
