Caballito blanco,
llévame de aquí,
llévame a mi pueblo
donde yo nací
Tengo, tengo, tengo,
tú no tienes nada,
tengo tres ovejas
en una cabaña.
Una me da leche,
otra me da lana,
y otra mantequilla
para la semana.
Little white horse,
Take me away.
Take me to the town,
Where I was born.
I have, I have, I have,
You have nothing.
I have three sheep,
In a cabin.
One gives me milk,
Another gives me wool,
And another, butter,
A whole week's full.
Comments
Carmen wrote: "I read on this link that the tune "Caballito Blanco" is from Chile. I was born in Northern Mexico a little more than half a century ago, and my grandmother (born in 1899) sang this song to me when I was little and her grandmother also sang it to her. At that time the city was a barely known village, its inhabitants were mostly of Spanish and Italian origin, in addition to the natives.
My question is: Is it really a Chilean? Could it be Spanish? I was surprised to know that this tune is known in another country."
