Garzas Viajeras

Traveling heronsGarzas viajeras
Light brides of the blueNovias leves del azul
Heading northCon rumbo norte
Splashing through the skySalpicando el cielo van
And here my riverY aquí mi río
Mirror shows their flightEspejo muestra su vuelo
As if it were a handkerchiefComo si fuera un pañuelo
That January is washingQue enero lavando está
There's a little boatHay un barquito
Rocking ceaselesslyQue se hamaca sin cesar
Several girlsVarias muchachas
Sailing for pleasureNavegando por placer
And there in the distanceY allá a lo lejos
Fishermen's canoeCanoa de pescadores
Are signs of sorrowsSon signos de sinsabores
What a different sunsetQue distinto atardecer
Look, neighborYa ve paisano
I nest among the reedsYo anido entre pajonales
Come if you likePase si gusta
To share needsCompartir necesidades
Life of the poorVida de pobre
Is sustained by hopeDe esperanza se sostiene
Bending their backsDoblando el lomo
So others bend their goodsPa' que otro doble los bienes
Flag in the sunBandera al sol
The blond canvas of the wheat fieldEl lienzo rubio del trigal
Sways gentlySe mece suave
In waves of gold and upon returnEn ondas de oro y al volver
Gray pigeonsBuchonas grises
In the riverLas torcazas en el río
Before seeking their nestsAntes de buscar sus nidos
Go to drink from its courseVan a su cauce a beber
There's a party up thereHay fiesta arriba
