Run my little horse,
Since the sky is so dark
And the travel ahead is rather long.
In the end that girl didn't come to my ride,
For I'm a boy on the wild side.
refrain:
Hey my little horse, hey my little horse,
Huputiti hey my little horse!
Run my little horse,
Since the sky is so dark
And we are going by slowly with the two of us.
Horse is the only treasure of a boy,
No-one else has quite alike it.
refrain2:
Hey my little horse, hey my little horse,
Huputiti hey my little horse!
Run my little horse,
Since the sky is so dark
And shadows are covering my way.
Quietly my song echoes from the road
And my flaxen horse is swaying its mane.
refrain2
Run my little horse,
Since the sky is so dark
And a bell is under the shaft.
Ohh, how small pieces
Is my bread across the world.
refrain
Run my little horse,
When the sky is so dark
And wind is moaning in the wood.
There's a small cottage in the curve of a road
And Cherrylip is staying there.
refrain2
Hey my little horse, hey my little horse,
Hey, stop here my little horse.
