A Caballo
José Manuel Figueroa
On Horseback
I am on horseback, gentlemen
but I am not here to show off
listen to me, brave ones
for I have something to tell you
After so many falls
that life has given me
you can learn something
from this famous rider
Don't choose your mare
just for her beauty
let her be pretty in the hindquarters
and not harsh with the reins
After riding
through meadows and mountains
I swear I prefer to tame
than to remove bad habits
I am on horseback, gentlemen
and on horseback I bid farewell
came to tell you a bit
about all that I have lived
After riding
through meadows and mountains
I swear I prefer to tame
than to remove bad habits
