Translation of the song lyrics Carrera de la Barranca - Joan Sebastian

Carrera de la Barranca (original)

Hay carreras clandestinas, carreras, carreras de la barranca
Entre barañas y espinas, allá lleve a mi potranca
Prieta como a mi me gusta, para sobarles el anca
Mirando a un potro y al dueño, le dije hagamos un trato
Le juego mi «Bailarina», contra su potro «El Retrato»
Cuantos caballos perdidos, y aquí la historia relato
Tal parecía que el potro, había escuchado la apuesta
Relinchaba y relinchaba, era su pecho una fiesta
En honor de mi potranca, que también estaba puesta
Además de la carrera, también corrió el nuevo peso
Esta vida es muy cortita, hay que gozarla y por eso
Hubo mariachis y banda, mi corredor era «El Hueso»
El potro en el partidero, se mostraba muy inquieto
«La Bailarina» tranquila, como consciente del reto
Relinchando le decía, vas a perder por coqueto
Se oyó un disparo de súper, súper carrera jugaron
Lo cierto es que aquel «Retrato», hasta mi rancho llevaron
El potro y «La Bailarina», enamorados quedaron

(translation)

There are underground races, races, canyon races
Between bushes and thorns, I took my filly there
Prieta the way I like it, to rub their haunches
Looking at a colt and the owner, I said let's make a deal
I play my «Dancer» against his colt «The Portrait»
How many lost horses, and here is the story
It seemed that the colt had heard the bet
He neighed and neighed, his chest was a party
In honor of my filly, who was also on
In addition to the race, he also ran the new weight
This life is very short, you have to enjoy it and that's why
There were mariachis and a band, my runner was "El Hueso"
The colt in the ring was very restless
"The Dancer" calm, as if aware of the challenge
Neighing, I told him, you're going to lose because you're flirty
They heard a super shot, super race they played
The truth is that that «Portrait», even my ranch took
The colt and "The Dancer", fell in love
