Mañanitas Loretanas

Loretanas Morning Songs
The cricket with its reveille
Wakes up the whole jungle,
And the owl, in the morning,
Runs away until the night returns.
And very early in the morning,
Far away, a bell rings,
It's a whole flock
Leaving its pigsty behind.
Loretanas morning songs,
Full of life and full of sun,
Full of colors,
Sweet and tasty like a prickly pear...
Full of colors,
Sweet and tasty like a prickly pear.
To the sound of the 'ushutas'
From the forest come two country girls,
Swinging their hips
And singing a folk song.
Also, the lizards
Have woken up in the green cactus,
And the sound of the axes
Makes the quebracho forest tremble.
Loretanas morning songs,
Full of life and full of sun,
Full of colors,
Sweet and tasty like a prickly pear...
Full of colors,
Sweet and tasty like a prickly pear.
