Campesinos Del Norte
León Gieco
Northern Farmers
The land is asleep and the sun is already waking it up
and slowly brings the day
the cart goes up slowly pulled by gentle oxen
Holy stone paths in white
lilac flowers as they pass by
on the old cart farmers go to work
They know that at twelve a bell will ring
and sadly they will come where there is little bread
and with wine from the valley they will joyfully sing
The sun burns their skin and strength very strongly
but soon the night will come
and together they will slowly walk home
The bell rings and they hasten their pace
and sadly they will come where there is little bread
and with wine from the valley they will joyfully sing.
