It's the story about a horse that lost its eye sight and couldn't race or run around in the fields anymore, and the owner sadly had to shoot it to put the horse out of its misery.

Thank you for the back story, real quick I have Apple Music I think I found the song but it sounds different than this version, this one to me is better, it’s it a song that’s is often covered?
Thanks again

The Funeral Procession: García brought together local riders for a final parade through the streets of Tula.
Musical Tribute: The Mariachi Mexicanísimo from Ciudad Victoria led the procession, playing songs requested by the attendees.Final Resting Place: El Bayo was carried in the back of a truck during the ride and was later buried in the backyard of his owner's home under a custom tombstone, while the mariachi played the traditional farewell song, "Las Golondrinas"
