El Verano

Summer

El Verano

I come to tell you, my companionsVengo a decirles compañeros míos
Summer has arrived! Summer has arrived!¡Llegó el verano! ¡Llegó el verano!
Then you will see the trees cryingLuego verán los árboles llorando
Watching their dresses fallViendo rodar sus vestidos

Those who have spread with such pleasureLos que han tendido con tanto placer
Because winter gives them joyPorque el invierno con gusto les da
One by one they see them fallUno por uno se ven decaer
Now it's time for the fields to cry!¡Ahora a los campos les toca llorar!

Those who have spread with such pleasureLos que han tendido con tanto placer
Because winter gives them joyPorque el invierno con gusto les da
One by one they see them fallUno por uno se ven decaer
Now it's time for the fields to cry!¡Ahora a los campos les toca llorar!

I'm going to look for a sturdy treeVoy a buscar un árbol corpulento
Summer tree! Summer tree!¡Veranero!... ¡Veranero!
So that when January comesPara que cuando llegue el mes de enero
I have my business done!¡Tener mi negocio hecho!

Seize the happy momentAprovechar el momento feliz
Because in life I like to enjoyPorque en la vida me gusta gozar
Whoever doesn't seize it doesn't know how to live!¡Quien no aprovecha no sabe vivir!
In summer, there's no shadeEn el verano no hay donde sombrear

In summer, there's no shadeEn el verano no hay donde sombrear

If I find the tree I wantSi yo consigo el árbol que yo quiero
Shady tree! Shady tree!¡De sombrío!... ¡De sombrío!
I laugh at the one who's aloneDel que no tiene solito me río
Under my summer treeBajo mi árbol veranero

And the sun rays caress meY me acarician los rayos del sol
One by one they come to meUno por uno se acercan a mí
To illuminate me with their radianceA iluminarme con su resplandor
So that the happy moment passesPara que pase el momento feliz

One by one they come to meUno por uno se acercan a mí
To illuminate me with their radianceA iluminarme con su resplandor
So that the happy moment passesPara que pase el momento feliz

Trees smiling are rarely seenPoco se ven los árboles sonrientes
In summer! In summer!¡En el verano!... ¡En el verano!
Rather, the fields are seen destroyedMás bien se ven los campos destrozados
By the northeast breezesPor las brisas del nordeste

The clouds pass with their vanityLas nubes pasan con su vanidad
Forming traces of breeze in heapsFormando huellas de brisa a montón
The weak leaves fall with painLas hojas débiles caen con dolor
It's their turn to roll on the ground!¡Sobre la tierra les toca rodar!

Forming traces of breeze in heapsFormando huellas de brisa a montón
The weak leaves fall with painLas hojas débiles caen con dolor
It's their turn to roll on the ground!¡Sobre la tierra les toca rodar!

When the trees are leaflessCuando los árboles están deshojados
They are not looked at! They are not looked at!¡No los miran!... ¡No los miran!
At that moment they suffer the deep woundEn ese instante sufren la honda herida
That summer producesQue les produce el verano

In those months they don't live happilyEn esos meses no viven feliz
They are whipped by the wind and the sun!¡Van azotados del viento y el sol!
The sad leaves have to liveLas tristes hojas les toca vivir
Pale, dry, without any valuePálidas, secas, sin ningún valor

February comes without freshnessViene febrero sin haber frescura
In our land! In our land!¡En nuestra tierra! ¡En nuestra tierra!
Then March comes; the whiteness is seenLuego entra marzo; se ven las blancuras
Showing the springMostrando la primavera

Then March comes, in the land another faceLuego entra marzo ¡En la tierra se ve
Of happiness is seen!Otro semblante de felicidad!
The rain comes, the breeze goes awayViene la lluvia, la brisa se va
The green leaves start to grow!¡Las verdes hojas vuelven a nacer!
