Era una cinta de fuego
Galopando, galopando
Crín revuelta en llamaradas
Mi alazán te estoy nombrando
Trepo las sierras con luna
Cruzó los valles nevando
Cien caminos anduvimos
Mi alazán te estoy nombrando
Oscuro lazo de niebla
Te pialó junto al barranco
¿Cómo fue que no lo viste?
¿Qué estrella estabas buscando?
En el fondo del abismo
Ni una voz para nombrarlo
Solito se fue muriendo
Mi caballo, mi caballo
En una horqueta del tala
Hay un morral solitario
Y hay un corral sin relinchos
Mi alazán te estoy nombrando
Si como dicen algunos
Hay cielos pal' buen caballo
Por ahí andará mi flete
Galopando, galopando
Oscuro lazo de niebla
Te pialó junto al barranco
¿Cómo fue que no lo viste?
¿Qué estrella estabas buscando?
En el fondo del abismo
Ni una voz para nombrarlo
Solito se fue muriendo
Mi caballo, mi caballo
