Español
A mí nada me faltaba
cuando mi moro tenía.
A mí nada me faltaba
cuando mi moro tenía;
libre era cuanto quería,
ni guapetón me alcanzaba
ni alcalde me perseguía,
cuando mi moro tenía.
Indio, volveme mi moro,
que me has llevado la vida...
Indio, volveme mi moro,
que me has llevado la vida;
él es mi único tesoro,
yo te daré mi querida
que es mucho mejor que el oro,
indio, volveme mi moro.
English
I lacked nothing
when I had my dark horse
I lacked nothing
when I had my dark horse
I was as free as I wanted,
no brave man could reach me
nor the mayor could go after me
when I had my dark horse.
Indio, return my dark horse,
you took my life away...
Indio, return my dark horse,
you took my life away;
He was my only treasure,
I will give you my loved one
she is much better than gold
Indio, return my dark horse.
Note: Compare with the recording as "estilo" by Carlos Gardel
