Lyrics of Caballo Prieto Azabache - Vicente Fernandez, ANTONIO AGUILAR

Caballo Prieto Azabache (original)

Caballo prieto azabache
Como olvidarte te debo la vida
Cuando iban a fusilarme
Las fuerzas leales de Pancho Villa
Fue aquella noche nublada
Una avanzada me sorprendio
Y despuÃ(c)s de desar marme
Fui condenado al paredón
Ya cuando estuve en capilla
Le dijo villa a su asistente
Me apartas ese caballo
Por educado y obediente
Sabia que no iba a escaparme
Solo pensaba en mi salvación
Y tu mi prieto azabache
Tambien pensaste igual que yo
Recuerdo que me dijeron
Pide un deseo pa' justiciarte
Yo quiero morir monta’o en mi caballo
Prieto azabache
Y cuando en ti me montaron
Y prepararon, la ejecucución
Mi voz de mando esperaste
Te abalanzaste sobre el pelotón
Con tres balazos de mauser
Corriste azabache, salvando mi vida
Lo que tu 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

(translation)

jet black horse
How to forget you I owe you my life
when they were going to shoot me
The loyal forces of Pancho Villa
It was that cloudy night
An advanced surprised me
And after disarming me
I was sentenced to the wall
Already when I was in the chapel
Villa told his assistant
you take away that horse
By polite and obedient
I knew I wasn't going to run away
I only thought of my 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 die riding on my horse
tight jet
And when they mounted me on you
And they prepared, the execution
My voice of command you waited
You pounced on the platoon
With three Mauser bullets
You ran jet, saving my life
what you did with 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 ever forget you
