Canto a Monte Quemado
Los Manseros Santiagueños
Song to Monte Quemado
Thicket of the mountains
Song of the wild bird
Message of love and time
In the tree and the plumage
Rumor of wounded silence
By the song of some axe
Or the whistle of some little worker
Who is returning home
Night full of mystery
Silent birds flying
Rising into the distance
Their dreams turned into darkness
Gaze of the simple man
Fearful and so afflicted
Who speaks with rough nostalgia
Of the things he has lost
Monte Quemado waiting for a blessing from God
Tree, bird, and path
Earth, night, song, and Sun
Thick mountain, virgin mountain
So distant and forgotten
Just walking distances
Payment of Monte Quemado
Traces rippling in the siesta
Drawing on the ground
Love bursting in the air
Mixed with sorrows
Night full of mystery
Silent birds flying
Rising into the distance
Their dreams turned into darkness
Gaze of the simple man
Fearful and so afflicted
Who speaks with rough nostalgia
Of the things he has lost
Ooh-ooh!
