Translation of the song lyrics El Cantador - ANTONIO AGUILAR

El Cantador (original)

Nació bajo de una higuera
Su madre fue yegua fina
Le llamaban La Catrina
A el potrillo «El Cantador.»
Era un potro con más brío
Que otro caballo cualquiera
Y como yo lo hice mío
Resultó muy corredor
Era lindo mi caballo
Era mi amigo más fiél
Ligerito como el rayo
Era de muy buena ley
Cuando era de falsa rienda
Daba ventaja a su madre
Muy pronto dejó a su padre
Con dos cuerpos le ganó
Era de pelo retinto
Rosalbo como un lucero
Muy fachoso mitotero
Y lindo de corazón
Era lindo mi caballo…
Nació bajo una higuera
Y en el potrero quedó
Qué lástima que muriera
Mi compañero mejor
Por éso cuando el sol muere
Y la luna va a salir
Me voy hasta aquél potrero
Mis recuerdos a vivir
Era lindo mi caballo…

El Cantador (translation)

He was born under a fig tree
His mother was a fine mare
They called her La Catrina
To the colt “El Cantador.”
He was a colt with more verve
than any other horse
And how I made it mine
He turned out to be a very runner
He was cute my horse
He was my most faithful friend
light as lightning
He was of very good law
When he was of false rein
He gave advantage to his mother
Very soon he left his father
With two bodies he won
He was dark-haired
Rosalbo as a star
very fachoso mitotero
and cute at heart
My horse was cute...
He was born under a fig tree
And in the paddock it remained
what a pity that he died
my best partner
That's why when the sun dies
And the moon is going to rise
I'm going to that paddock
my memories to live
My horse was cute...
