Translation
Bilingual
Wild as a coastal barranca
Swift as the wind blowing free
With two eyes like fire brands that glow in the night
Somewhere up there he's waiting for me
And he knows that I'm coming' for him
And I just can't rest 'til I find
That raven black stallion who wears no man's brand
With a wild restless spirit like mine
They call him Caballo Diablo
Half-horse, half-devil, they say
Caballo Diablo the outlaw
Up atop of Sierra Madre
ย
Two men before tried to take him
They had their chance one by one
But each met his fate when those flashing black hooves
Brought death 'neath the Mexican sun
Still I can't leave, I must find him
You fool of a horse, can't you see?
I may be half man but the other half's devil
And you're just exactly like me
They call him Caballo Diablo
Half-horse, half-devil, they say
Caballo Diablo the outlaw
Up atop of Sierra Madre
ย
Even the breeze has stopped moving
Oh, hush now, be still
Don't make a sound and stay close to the ground
'Cause he's waitin' just over that hill
Downwind behind him, move quickly
Do it fast, now, he's starting to stir
Grab a handful of mane, then up onto his back
And start raking him down with my spurs
But try as he will, he can't shake me
As over the precipice we go
To share the lifeblood of a horse and a man
On the rocky Sierra below
They call him Caballo Diablo
Half-horse, half-devil, they say
Caballo Diablo the outlaw
Up atop of Sierra Madre
