The page contains the lyrics and English translation of the song "El Pastor" by Miguel Aceves Mejía.

Lyrics

Va el pastor con su rebaño
Al despuntar la manaña
Bajando por el sendero
De la sierra a la pradera
Va musitando sus quejas
Con su flautín de carrizo
Seguido por sus ovejas
Como si fuera un hechizo
El flautín
Del pastor
Ay, ay, ay Canta así
El pastor ya va de vuelta
Pués el sol se está ocultando
Va subiendo por la cuesta
Para guardar su rebaño
Con su flautín va llamando
Una a una sus ovejas
Y les va comunicando
Sus goces y sus tristezas
El flautín
Del pastor
Ay, ay, ay Canta así
(Thanks to Rafael for these lyrics)

Lyrics translation

The shepherd goes with his flock
By cutting the morning
Down the path
From the sierra to the Prairie
He keeps quiet about his complaints.
With his reed flute
Followed by their sheep
Like it's a spell.
The flute
Of the pastor
Ay, ay, ay sing like this
The pastor's coming back.
Then the sun is hiding
It's going up the hill
To guard his flock
With his flute he's calling
One by one their sheep
And he's communicating to them
Their joys and their sorrows
The flute
Of the pastor
Ay, ay, ay sing like this
