Translation of the song lyrics Caballo Prieto Azabache - Maria Dolores Pradera

Caballo Prieto Azabache (original)

Caballo prieto azabache
Cómo olvidar que te debo la vida
Cuando iban a ajusticiarme
Las fuerzas leales de Pancho Villa
Aquella noche nublada
Una avanzada me sorprendió
Y tras de ser desarmado
Fui sentenciado al paredón
Ya cuando estaba en capilla
Le dijo villa a su asistente
Me apartas ese caballo
Por educado y por obediente
Sabía que no me escapaba
Y solo pensaba en la salvación
Y tú mi prieto azabache
También pensabas igual que yo
Recuerdo que me dijeron
Pide un deseo pa' justiciarte
Yo quero que me afusilen en mi caballo
Prieto azabache
Y cuando en ti me montaron
Y prepararon la ejecucución
Mi voz de mando esperaste
Y abalanzaste contra el pelotón
Con tres balazos de mauser
Corriste azabache, salvando mi vida
Lo que tú hiciste conmigo
Caballo amigo, no se me olvida
No pude salvar la tuya
Y la amargura me hace llorar
Por eso prieto azabache
No he de olvidarte nunca jamás
Caballo prieto azabache
Cómo olvidar que te debo la vida…

(translation)

jet black horse
How to forget that I owe you my life
When they were going to execute me
The loyal forces of Pancho Villa
that cloudy night
An advanced surprised me
And after being disarmed
I was sentenced to the wall
Already when I was in the chapel
Villa told his assistant
you take away that horse
For polite and for obedient
I knew I wasn't running away
And I only thought of salvation
And you my tight jet
you also thought the same as me
I remember being told
Make a wish to get justice
I want to be shot on my horse
tight jet
And when they mounted me on you
And they prepared the execution
My voice of command you waited
And you lunged at the platoon
With three Mauser bullets
You ran jet, saving my life
what you did to me
Horse friend, I do not forget
I couldn't save yours
And the bitterness makes me cry
That's why tight jet
I will never forget you
jet black horse
How can I forget that I owe you my life…
