One more drink tonight as your gray stallion rests
Where he lays in the reins
For all of the speed and the strength he gave
One more kiss tonight from some tall stable girl
She's like grace from the earth
When you're all tuckered out and tame
One more tired thing the gray moon on the rise
When your want from the day
Makes you to curse in your sleep at night
One more gift to bring we may well find you laid
Like your steed in his reins
Tangled too tight and too long to fight
Where he lays in the reins
For all of the speed and the strength he gave
One more kiss tonight from some tall stable girl
She's like grace from the earth
When you're all tuckered out and tame
One more tired thing the gray moon on the rise
When your want from the day
Makes you to curse in your sleep at night
One more gift to bring we may well find you laid
Like your steed in his reins
Tangled too tight and too long to fight

(Spanish)
Ya pense que jamas, tener la oportunidad
De encontrar el camino y luego formar
Un mundo mejor
(Translation)
I thought I'd never have the chance
Of encountering the path to then create
A better world
Obviously the translation doesn't sound quite as poetic.
One of the most beautiful songs I know.
Nunca pensé que jamás, tener la oportunidad
de reencontrar el camino y de nuevo formar
un mundo mejor
You guys completely miss the overall meaning of the song. Its about a conquistador at the end of his life. The clue is his "steed." the Spaniards introduced Horses to the Americas. They are what enabled the Spaniards to conquer the Aztec and the Incas. The horse is a metaphor for the Spaniards power.
"Laying in the Reins" is a metaphor for the waning power of the Spanish Empire.
Read some history. For your sake.
It's got that sort of feeling to it, like you've spent the whole day walking in the sun and you finally sit down in your cabin when it rains, and you've finally got water and food and you're just so content.
Second as a single father who wants everything to do with his daughter in a land who favors the mother, I can see this song in a different light. Especially when emotionally twisted to believe that you can find something where there is truly nothing to find. I see a man, bending to lies, presented love, and a will stronger than his simply because he wishes to believe. Now after so long, he finds himself tired, not ready to give up, but as a horse ridden to long, he tries but cannot rise. Now he is left broken.
If a horse is run too far, too fast, and the reigns are not loosened it will die. Reigns basically choke the creature and it will die on the foam its breathing creates.
I'm guessing this song is about a married couple whoes love and passion is withering out, its about a man cheating in a way through emotions and a kiss with a tall stable girl who is probably younger but also more passionate, and it feels like grace from the earth coming out of a boring marriage but still it doesn't feel right. And now his want from that day makes him curse his sleep at night while he lays next to his wife, he's now tangled in his own string of lies and guilt. But he is much too tired to fight for his marriage anymore. So he gives in.
This is just what I thought about it. The spanish part could be about him imagining himself starting over in a new marriage, maybe with this new girl he met and picturing what life would be like with her.
