Chestnut horse lucero, that for as fast as you were good
Caballo alazán lucero, que por ligero que bueno fuiste
You won many races, I remember well you never lost
Ganaste muchas carreras, yo bien recuerdo nunca perdiste
You never had defeat, from coast to coast it was no lie
Jamás tuviste derrota, de costa a costa no fue mentira
Until that mare arrived, for whom you would even lose your life
Hasta que llego esa yegua, por quien perdieras hasta la vida
His eyes so dark, staring into yours as if saying
Sus ojos tan bien obscuros, clavo en los tuyos como diciendo
That in those five hundred yards, you will let her arrive first
Que en esas quinientas varas, tu la dejaras llegar primero
I have it very well in mind, all the people were betting on you
Lo tengo muy bien presente, toda la gente por ti apostaba
And your owner was very sure that his great fortune was at stake.
Y tu dueño muy seguro, su gran fortuna se la jugaba
As I left the starting block, I saw the mare almost fly.
Al salir del partidero, vi que la yegua casi volaba
And you without running violently, giving him time to beat you
Y tu sin correr violento, dándole tiempo a que te ganara
Chestnut horse lucero, like a knight with a lady
Caballo alazán lucero, cual caballero con una dama
Your owner's fortune, half a body, was reduced to nothing.
La fortuna de tu dueño, por cuerpo y medio quedo en la nada
Your desperate owner, reaching for his gun
Tu dueño desesperado, echando mano de su pistola
If they have won everything from me, this horse only hinders me.
Si todo me lo han ganado, este caballo solo me estorba
And without giving time for anything, with five bullets you rolled wounded
Y no dando tiempo a nada, con cinco balas rodaste herido
You fell beside the mare, you who had lost for her
Cai′te junto a la yegua, tu que por ella habías perdido
You died looking at the mare, as if to say, "You're served."
Moriste viendo a la yegua, como diciendo esta usted servida
Chestnut horse Lucero, today I will not forget your memory
Caballo alazán lucero, hoy tu recuerdo no se me olvida
