El potro escupe....se sacude....muerde y queda El palenque lo retiene Cree que sus fuerzas son más poderosas que el amo Aún no sabe
Sé que nadie más que yo ve la estrella donde esta sentado mi padre en la Osa mayor mi padre escucha música de Wagner mientras mira atento los desaciertos de sus hijos sobre la tierra |
The colt spits ....tosses its head....bites and stands. The fence keeps him in. He believes his strength is more than his master's. He still does not know
I know that no-one but me sees the star where my father sits. In the Great Bear my father listens to Wagner's music while he takes careful note of the mistakes made by his sons on Earth. |
