Lyrics
Sólo creo ya en tu amor, mi parejero.
Mi noble pingo alazán tostao,
vos tan sólo para mí fuiste sincero
y mi cariño no has traicionao.
Vos me has hecho estremecer
de orgullo y de placer.
¡Tus tardes de triunfador!...
Pero hoy sólo busco en vos al compañero
y al confidente de mi dolor.

Si en el codo peligroso del querer
rodé tan fiero,
el desquite con tu triunfo ha de tener
mi decepción,
pues no falla, parejero,
tu mirada inteligente
ni tu pinta de ligero
ni la mancha de tu frente
que es tu sello de campeón.

Vos me has dado mis más caras emociones,
ni noble pingo alazán tostao.
Heredero de una raza de campeones.
¡Tostao! Muerto antes que derrotao.
Es en vano pretender lealtad en la mujer,
tan falso es su corazón.
Pero en vos puedo cifrar mis ilusiones
pues sé que nunca me harás traición.
English translation
I only believe in your love, my partner.
My noble pingo sorrel toasted sorrel,
you were only sincere for me
and you have not betrayed my love.
You have made me tremble
with pride and pleasure.
Your triumphant afternoons!....
But today I only look for in you the companion
and the confidant of my pain.

If in the dangerous elbow of love
I rolled so fiercely,
the revenge with your triumph must have
my disappointment,
for it doesn't fail, partner,
your intelligent look
nor your light look
nor the stain on your forehead
which is your seal of champion.

You have given me my most expensive emotions,
nor noble pingo alazán tostao.
Heir to a race of champions.
Toasted! Dead rather than defeated.
It is in vain to claim loyalty in woman,
so false is her heart.
But in you I can place my illusions
For I know that you will never betray me.
