Lyrics
Le gustaba en el verano
Alejarse de su casa
Y subir a la montaña,
Ver llegar a la mañana
El cantar de las cascadas
Y el arrullo de las cañas,
Ver crecer a los trigales,
Su rio lleno de agua.
Y cantar por las veredas
Su libertad y esperanza.
Y enamorar a una estrella
Entre la noche y el alba.
Los inviernos los pasaba
Al calor de una cabaña.
Y se sentía poeta
Entre todos los poetas,
Conquistador de cariños,
De profesión peregrino,
Por compañero el destino
Y amigo de sus amigos,
Amante al llegar la noche
De la estrella y del rocío.
Era de vida bohemia,
De corazón repartido,
Era su alma la lluvia
Que regaba los caminos.
Por las sierras se escuchaban
Sus cantares, sus plegarias.
Y a pesar de que te fuiste
Muy temprano de la vida,
De tu montaña y tu rio,
Tu mirada es el rocío,
Tu voz se quedó en el viento,
Tus penas por el camino,
Tu alma entre las montañas,
Tus lágrimas por el rio.
Tu libertad y esperanza
No se han marchado contigo
Tu libertad y esperanza
Van andando los caminos.
Por los montes y los rios
Se oye el canto de aquel indio.
Lyrics translation
He liked it in the summer
Get away from home
And climb the mountain,
See arrive in the morning
The singing of the waterfalls
And the cooing of the reeds,
Watch the trigals grow,
Its river full of water.
And sing along the paths
Their freedom and hope.
And fall in love with a star
Between night and Dawn.
The winters I spent
In the heat of a cabin.
And he felt like a poet
Among all the poets,
Conqueror of affection,
By profession Pilgrim,
By companion the Destiny
And friend of his friends,
Lover at night
The star and the dew.
Era of bohemia life,
Heartbroken,
It was his soul the rain
Watering the roads.
By the saws were heard
His songs, his prayers.
And even though you left
Very early in life,
From your mountain and your river,
Your gaze is dew,
Your voice stayed in the wind,
Your sorrows along the way,
Your soul among the mountains,
Your tears by the river.
Your freedom and hope
They didn't leave with you.
Your freedom and hope
The roads are walking.
By the mountains and rivers
You can hear that Indian singing.
