Campesino [English translation]

When you go through the fields

don't stray from your path

because you might step on the sleep/dream

of the sleeping grandparents.

Peasant, peasant,

For you I sing, peasant.

Some are thin earth,

others are the root of wheat

Others are dispersed stones

on the small shore of the river.

Peasant, peasant,

For you I sing, peasant.

How many times, how many times

beyond the sown field

in the furnace of the evenings

his screams went to temper/tune themselves.

Peasant, peasant,

For you I sing, peasant.

Sacred mission of man:

snow, sun and sacrifice,

to die while sowing life,

to live while tuning/tempering his scream.

Peasant, peasant,

For you I sing, peasant.

When you go through the fields

don't stray from your path

because you might step on the sleep/dream

of the sleeping grandparents.

Never dead, but sleeping!

Never dead, but sleeping!

Peasant, peasant,

Never dead, but sleeping!

When you go through the fields

don't stray from your path

because you might step on the sleep/dream

of the sleeping grandparents.

Never dead, but sleeping!

Never dead, but sleeping!

Peasant, peasant,

for you I sing, peasant.
