Lyrics
Temprano el durazno del arbol cayo,
su piel era rosa, dorado del sol
y al verse en la suerte de todo frutal
a la orilla de un rio su fe lo hizo llegar.
Dicen que en este valle
los duraznos son de los duendes.
Paso cierto tiempo en el mismo lugar,
hasta que un buen dia se puso a escuchar
una melodia muy triste del sur
que asi le lloraba, desde su interior:
«Quien canta es tu carozo, pues tu cuerpo al fin tiene un alma;
y si tu ser estalla sera un corazon el que sangre;
y la cancion que escuchas tu cuerpo abrira con el alba».
La brisa de enero a la orilla llego,
la noche del tiempo sus horas cumplio
y al llegar el alba, el carozo canto,
partiendo al durazno, que al rio cayo.
Y el durazno partido
ya sangrando esta bajo el agua.
Lyrics translation
Early the peach tree fell,
his skin was pink, golden from the sun
and seeing in the fate of all fruit
to the Bank of a river his faith brought him.
They say that in this valley
peaches are the goblins.
I spend some time in the same place,
until one good day he began to listen
a very sad melody from the South
that so I cried to him, from within:
"The one who sings is your lump, for your body at last has a soul;
and if your being explodes it will be a heart that bleeds;
and the song you hear your body will open with Dawn."
The January breeze to the shore arrived,
the night of time his hours were fulfilled
and when Dawn came, the lump sang,
departing to the Peach, which to the river fell.
And the Peach split
he's already bleeding under the water.
