Campesino

A peasant told me
That by the river he discovered
That beautiful and strange girl
Who bathed under the sun

And that peasant friend
Thought he saw a vision
And on the riverbank
His heart stayed

Peasant, peasant
Don't complain about destiny
Keep happy on your path
And cheer up your heart
La, la, la, la, la...

And since then he knows the value
And the perfume of the flower
He sees everything in a different light
The river, the countryside, and love

He only thinks of returning
Next to the girl who gave him
His heart

The peasant wanted to change
To exchange the countryside for the city
He left his lands full of flowers
And snails to succeed

But the peasant friend
Remembered that vision
And returned to the river
Where his illusion was

Peasant, peasant
Don't complain about destiny
Keep happy on your path
And cheer up your heart
