Como una cinta de fuego
Galopando, galopando
Crin revuelta en llamaradas
Mi alazán, te estoy nombrando
Trepo la sierra con luna
Cruzo los valles nevando
Cien caminos anduvimos
Mi alazan, te estoy nombrando
Oscuro lazo de niebla
Te pialo 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!
Sobre la horqueta de un tala
Hay un morral solitario
Hay un corral sin relinchos
Mi alazan, te estoy nombrando
Si como dicen algunos
Hay cielos pal buen caballo
Por ahi andara mi flete
Galopando, galopando
Oscuro lazo de niebla
Te pialo junto al barranco
¿Cómo fue que no lo viste?
¿Qué estrella estabas buscando?
Solito se fue muriendo
Mi caballo, ¡mi caballo!
