Translation of the song lyrics El Corralero - ANTONIO AGUILAR

El Corralero (original)

«Jamas hay que despreciar
Al que ha servido toda una vida
Por que el que lo hace es muy cruel
Y nunca podra adivinar
Como sera su partida»
Esta muy malo el corralero
Y alla en el potrero
Como viejo está
Hay que ayudarlo a que muera
Para que no sufra mas
Siempre fuiste el mas certero
Y por eso debes su mal aliviar
Como pretende que yo
Que lo crié desde potrillo
Clave en su pecho un cuchillo
Por que el patrón lo ordeno
Dejenlo no mas pastar
No rechacen mi consejo
Que yo lo voy a enterrar
Cuando se muera de viejo
Junto al estero del valle
Lo encontré tendido
Casi al expirar
Me acerque muy lentamente
Y se lo quise explicar
Pero al verlo resignado
Me tembló la mano
Y me puse a llorar
Como pretende que yo
Que lo crié desde potrillo
Clave en su pecho un cuchillo
Por que el patrón lo ordeno
Dejenlo no mas pastar
No rechacen mi consejo
Que yo lo voy a enterrar
Cuando se muera de viejo
Esta muy malo el corralero
Y alla en el potrero
Como viejo está

El Corralero (translation)

"Never despise
The one who has served a lifetime
Because the one who does it is very cruel
And he could never guess
How will your departure from him be »
The corralero is very bad
And there in the paddock
how old he is
You have to help him die
So that he doesn't suffer anymore
You were always the most accurate
And so you owe their ill relieve
As he pretends that I
That I raised him from a foal
Stick a knife in his chest
Why did the boss order it?
let it graze no more
don't reject my advice
That I'm going to bury him
When he dies of old
Next to the estuary of the valley
I found him lying
almost expiring
I approached very slowly
And I wanted to explain it to him
But seeing him resigned
he shook my hand
And I started to cry
How do you pretend that I
That I raised him from a foal
Stick a knife in his chest
Why did the boss order it?
let it graze no more
don't reject my advice
That I'm going to bury him
When he dies of old
The corralero is very bad
And there in the paddock
how old is
