Nunca es tarde para amar… como el “Caballo Viejo”
Hola!!!
Bienvenidos a disfrutar del Vals Venezolano.
Letra
Caballo Viejo
I
Cuando el amor llega así de esta manera
uno no se da ni cuenta
el Carutal reverdece y Guamachito florece
y la soga se revienta (bis)
Coro
Caballo le dan Sabana
por que esta viejo y cansado
pero no se dan de cuenta
que un corazón amarrado
cuando le sueltan las riendas
es caballo desbocado
Y si una potra alazana
Caballo viejo se encuentra
el pecho se le desgrana
y no le hace caso a falsetas
y no le obedece a frenos
ni lo paran falsas riendas
II
Cuando el amor llega así de esta manera
uno no tiene la culpa
quererse no tiene horario
ni fecha en el calendario
cuando las ganas se juntan
Coro
Caballo le dan Sabana
y tiene el tiempo contado
y se va por la sabana
con su pasito apurado
a verse con su potranca
que lo tiene embarbascado
El Potro da tiempo al tiempo
porque le sobra la edad
caballo viejo no puede
perder la flor que le dan
por que después de esta vida
no hay otra oportunidad.
It's never too late to love ... like the "Old Horse"
Hello
Welcome to enjoy the Venezuelan Waltz.
Thank you all for allowing me to share with you, once again, part of our Venezuelan identity through a very popular genre such as the Llanero Passage. In this opportunity it is one of the most sung and versioned songs in the whole world: Caballo Viejo. Originally composed by Simón Díaz, it is a Venezuelan song from the llanero llanero genre and it is one of the most popular songs composed by lyrics and music of its own authorship.
As for the birth of this llanero passage, Simón Día tells that: "... back in 1980 we went to the Apure State with the purpose of making a television program, we visited the Hatos" Carutal "and" Guamachito "that are beyond Biruaca and San Juan de Payara, we had to record in Guamachito a "Galapagueada", this is a task that we do in the plain before Easter and consists of taking some Galápagos out of some pipes that remain after the floods of the Sabana ... I return at night, just like the poem "Rosalinda" from my friend Ernesto Luis Rodríguez, a Joropo llanero came, he got cute Caney. I began to sing a few verses to a very pretty girl of those who embellished the Caney, and there stopped a young man to answer the verses and set a tasty counterpoint. At the end of this contrapunteo, for everyone it was a very beautiful and exciting evening, but I told myself: I have a song in my hands to make a song that can be very good ".
Simon continues. "This is how the contrapunteo occurred in the evening was recorded on a tape by Fermín Quevedo, but the tape was lost, and then, ten years later I reconstructed it, correcting it and increasing it." In this way, the famous tune emerged llanera that became known all over the world as Caballo Viejo.
