serenada

caballeros
how they ride
on their ponies
side by side
a las estrellas
donde estan
when they go
where they have gone
vaqueros estrellas
high in the saddle
macho muchachos
caballos astraddle
caballeros
aves del sol
winners in
their private poll
lagrimas, lagrimas
it doesn't matter
no le hace
since life is a scatter.
