Caballo de palo [English translation]

I was looking , saddened,

at my friends who smiled

with many toys

That Santa Claus brought them that night

But not to me

I ran to my house

And I told my dad

Why is it that I who am good boy

And behave just like they do

always must play

with my old wooden horse

With this old wooden horse

That was once good for a sword

I've spent six Christmases with him

Tell me dad, why?

With this old wooden horse

That was once like a friend to me

I've spent six Christmases with him

Tell me dad, why?

I ran to my house

And I told my dad

Why is it that I who am good boy

And behave just like they do

always must play

with my old wooden horse

With this old wooden horse

That was once good for a sword

I've spent six Christmases with him

Tell me dad, why?

With this old wooden horse

That was once like a friend to me

I've spent six Christmases with him

Tell me dad, why?
