Old Horse
The horse can't lose the flower they give him, man!
Oh!
Old horse!
When love comes like this
You don’t even notice it
The Cauca greens up and the Guamachito blooms
And the rope snaps
When love comes like this
You don’t even notice it
The Cauca greens up and the Guamachito blooms
And the rope snaps
They give the horse pasture 'cause he's old and tired
But they don’t realize that a tied-up heart
When you let it loose, it’s a wild horse
And if an attractive mare meets the old horse
His chest bursts open and he ignores the facade
And he doesn’t obey the reins nor can you stop him with a lead
(Instrumental)
When love comes like this
You’re not to blame
Loving has no schedule
Or date on the calendar
When the desires come together
When love comes like this
You’re not to blame
Loving has no schedule
Or date on the calendar
When the desires come together
They give the horse pasture and his time is running out
And he leaves in the morning with his hurried step
To meet his mare who has him all tangled up
The colt takes his time because he’s got age to spare
The old horse can’t lose the flower they give him
'Cause after this life, there’s no second chance
