The Poet

El Poeta

You think you're differentTú crees que eres distinto
Because they call you a poetPorque te dicen poeta
And you have a world apartY tienes un mundo aparte
Beyond the starsMás allá de las estrellas

You think you're differentTú crees que eres distinto
Because they call you a poetPorque te dicen poeta
And you have a world apartY tienes un mundo aparte
Beyond the starsMás allá de las estrellas

By looking at the Moon so muchDe tanto mirar la Luna
You no longer know how to seeYa nada sabes mirar
You're like a poor blind manEres como un pobre ciego
Who doesn't know where he's goingQue no sabe a dónde va

Go look at the minersVete a mirar los mineros
The men in the wheat fieldLos hombres en el trigal
And sing to those who struggleY cántale a los que luchan
For a piece of breadPor un pedazo de pan

Poet of certain rhymesPoeta de ciertas rimas
Go live in the jungleVete a vivir a la selva
And you will learn many thingsY aprenderás muchas cosas
About the lumberjack and his miseriesDel hachero y sus miserias

Live alongside the peopleVive junto con el pueblo
Don't look at them from the outsideNo lo mires desde afuera
For the first thing is the manQue lo primero es el hombre
And the second, the poetY lo segundo, poeta

By looking at the Moon so muchDe tanto mirar la Luna
