En El Patio de Mi Casa
Atahualpa Yupanqui
In the Yard of My House
In the yard of my house
a little tree was born.
In the morning I take care of it
during the night God takes care of it.
Miraculous little boy,
cornfield boy,
it's not true that I take care of him
he is the one who takes care of me.
Crazy time, crazy time,
to take care, live and sing,
the plant of the shepherds
helps time to last.
I want to arrive at my yard
and see the plant grow,
play with its spring,
I want to stay, afterwards.
