Cachorro Amigo

On the farm where I was born, right there I was raised
In the farm school where I was enrolled
The daughter of my boss sat right beside me
We swore to marry each other and be loved by one another

I was a good employee, beloved by the farmer
I learned to deal with cattle, my job was as a herdsman
I had a police dog as a companion
Who would arrive first in times of danger

I asked her to marry me, the old man said yes
On the day of the wedding, what a beautiful day for me
To live in a beautiful house, with a lovely garden in front
And to have the most beautiful woman to live with me

One day the woman told me, listen to what I say now
I don't want the dog in the house where we live
You'll have to kill the dog if you don't want me to leave
I called the poor dog to kill him right away

I took my canoe, the dog followed
As we passed through the current, my canoe overturned
I lost my senses because the water drowned me
I was almost dying, the dog saved me

I was going to kill the dog as if he were an enemy
But it was he who saved me from that sad danger
Today I am happy and with joy I say
I have a beloved woman, and also a friend dog
