El Potro Lobo Gateado (La Yegua Colorada) (original)

En una manada vi
Un potro que me gustó
Me fui con el hacendado
Señor traigo una tratada
Quiero que me de un caballo
Por mi yegua colorada
¿Qué caballo es el que quieres?
Pa' que podamos tratar
Un potro lobo-gateado
Que ayer vi en el corral
Que charros y caporales
No lo han podido amansar
Yo lo vi entre diez caballos
El cual era el más bonito
Si por duro lo dejaron
Lo duro yo se lo quito
Si lo compro lo verán
Dirigiéndose solito
Te doy mil quinientos pesos
Y el potro te lo regalo
No lo quiero por regego
Pensaba meterlo al carro
Que a charros y a caporales
A todos los ha tumbado
Luego que ya se hizo de él
El charro le hechó la hablada
Ahora juega mi caballo
Con su yegua colorada
Nomás me da un ribetito
Está dura la jugada
Le contestó el hacendado
No digas que tengo miedo
Vámonos a la oficina
A depositar el dinero
La carrera la dejamos
Para el día 2 de febrero
Se llegó el dichoso día
De la carrera afamada
Volaban pesos tronchados
A la yegua colorada
Y al potro lobo-gateado
Ni quien le apostara nada
Se arrancaron los caballos
Y el caballo no se vio
Se cubrió de polvareda
Que caballo tan violento
Nomás alas le faltaron
Para volar por el viento
Ya con esta me despido
Dispensen lo mal trovado
Aquí da fin el corrido
De un charro y un hacendado
De la yegua colorada
Y el potro lobo-gateado

(translation)

In a herd I saw
A foal that I liked
I went with the rancher
Lord I bring a treaty
I want you to give me a horse
For my red mare
Which horse is the one you want?
So that we can treat
A wolf-crawling foal
That yesterday I saw in the corral
What charros and caporales
They have not been able to tame him
I saw him between ten horses
which was the prettiest
If they left it because it was hard
I take it off
If I buy it they will see it
heading alone
I give you one thousand five hundred pesos
And I give you the colt
I do not want it by regego
I was thinking of putting it in the car
Than charros and caporales
He has knocked them all down
After he was done with it
The charro made the talk
Now play my horse
With his red mare
He just gives me a little rib
The play is hard
The rancher answered
don't say i'm scared
let's go to the office
to deposit the money
We leave the race
For the 2nd of February
the happy day has arrived
of the famous race
They flew chopped pesos
To the red mare
And the wolf-crawling foal
Nor who would bet him anything
the horses were pulled
And the horse was not seen
He was covered in dust
what a violent horse
Only wings were missing
To fly through the wind
With this I say goodbye
Dispense the bad trovado
Here the corrido ends
Of a charro and a landowner
of the red mare
And the wolf-crawling foal
