El changuito cañero [English translation]

Early in the morning

the little boy goes away with his dad,

they are wandering to the furrow

in order to peel sugar canes from Tucumán.

The lad cooks while

her mum is washing,

and in the distance the

slashes of the machete to the cane field can be heard.

His daddy is cutting and the

little boy is picking everything up

to pile it into the cars,

that goes to the sugar refinery.

The day is over,

there the little boy comes back with his dad,

and in the ranch

the mate cocido*** and the hot bread wait for them.
