Duérmete potrillo [English translation]

The song I'll sing

is a simple lullaby

because it's not for a baby,

it's just for a foal.

Because the foals

like the children

have the right

that we express to them

our feelings.

Sleep foal because

I spend the night awake

and I'll bring you tomorrow

sixteen kilos of oats.

Because the foals

like the children

have the right

to be fed

the best as possible.

I give you a sawdust,

sweet grass without thistles

for your mane to grow

until covering your eyes.

Because the foals

like the children

have the right

to not let be seen

the unpleasant.

When you grow more

I'll put you blinders,

with then you'll avoid

to get in the other's business.

Because the foals

like the children

have the right

to be educated

properly.

A good bit and a muzzle

will complete your etiquette,

when you become enough wild:

to pull from my cart

Because the foals

like the children

have the right

to be offered

a certain future.

Sleep foal because

the night is dark and cold,

sleep foal because

I ordered to do horseshoes.

Because the foals

like the children

have the right

to have someone

to take care of them.
