Lyrics
La tierra está dormida y el sol ya la despierta
Y trae despacio el día
Sube el carro lento tirado por bueyes mansos
Caminos de piedra santas color blanca
Flores color lila al pasar
Sobre el carro viejo campesinos van a trabajar
Saben que a las doce una campana sonará
Y tristes vendran donde hay poco pan
Y con vino del valle se pondrán alegres a cantar
Quema el sol muy fuerte su piel y sus fuerzas
Pero pronto la noche llegará
Y juntos vendrán lento caminar a su hogar
Suena la campana y apuran su marcha
Y tristes vendran donde hay poco pan
Y con vino del valle se pondran alegres a cantar
Lyrics translation
The Earth is asleep and the sun already Awakens it
And bring the day slowly
Climb the slow cart pulled by Meek oxen
White holy stone paths
Lilac flowers when passing
On the old cart peasants go to work
You know that at twelve a bell will ring
And SAD will come where there is little bread
And with the wine of the valley they shall sing joyfully
Burn the sun very hard your skin and your forces
But soon the night will come
And together they will come slow to walk home
The bell rings and they hurry
And SAD will come where there is little bread
And with wine from the valley they will sing joyfully
