Eastern Song

Canto Oriental

Eastern song, friendly songCanto oriental, canto amigo
Singing a thousand timesCanto mil veces cantando
The roosters' bugle soundsSuena el clarín de los gallos
When the morning comesCuando la mañana viene
And as Benedetti saysY como dice benedetti
The song is not overEl canto no se ha acabado
Not even a hint, not even a colorNi colorín, ni colorado
The song is not over.El canto no se ha acabado.

Eastern song, friendly songCanto oriental, canto amigo
Wind that moves the wheatViento que mueve la espiga
Place in Artigas' handsPon en las manos de artigas
A lifted heartUn corazón levantado
That is needed like the wheatQue hace falta como el trigo
For the freshly baked breadPara el pan recién horneado

Not even a hint, not even a colorNi colorín, ni colorado
The song is not overEl canto no se ha acabado,
Not even a hint, not even a colorNi colorín, ni colorado
The song is not over.El canto no se ha acabado,

Eastern song, friendly songCanto oriental, canto amigo
A traveler of this timeUn viajero de éste tiempo
For those who remain insidePor los que quedan adentro
And write your poetryY escriben tu poesía
Eastern at dawnOriental de amanecida
For the children of VigliettiPor los niños de viglietti
And as Benedetti saysY como dice benedetti
The song is not over.El canto no se ha acabado.

Not even a hint, not even a colorNi colorín, ni colorado
Zitarrosa is singingZitarrosa anda cantando,
Not even a hint, not even a colorNi colorín, ni colorado
For an Uruguay without an ownerPor un uruguay sin dueño,
Not even a hint, not even a colorNi colorín, ni colorado
The people from Olimar singCantan los olimareños
Not even a hint, not even a colorNi colorín, ni colorado
Singing the skinny VigliettiCantando el flaco viglietti
Not even a hint, not even a colorNi colorín, ni colorado
Zitarrosa is singingZitarrosa anda cantando
Not even a hint, not even a colorNi colorín, ni colorado
For an UruguayPor un uruguay
Without an ownerSin dueño,
Not even a hint, not even a colorNi colorín, ni colorado
The song is not over.El canto no se ha acabado.
