Cuando el amor
llega así, de esta manera,
uno no se da ni cuenta.
El cauca se reverdece,
y el guamachico florece
y la soga se revienta.
Caballo le dan sabana
porque está viejo y cansao.
Pero no se dan ni cuenta
que un corazón amarrao,
cuando le sueltan las riendas
es caballo desbocao.
Y su una potra alazana
caballo viejo se encuentra
el pecho se le desgrana,
no le hace caso a falseta,
y no le obedece a freno
ni lo paran falsas riendas.
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.
Caballo le dan sabana
y tiene el tiempo contao.
Y se va por la mañana
con su pasito apurao,
a verse con su potranca
que lo tiene embarbastao.
El potro da tiempo al tiempo
porque le sobra la edad.
Caballo viejo no puede
perder la flor que le dan,
porque después de esta vida
no hay otra oportunidad.
