Canción de Los Horneros

Song of the Ovenbirds

Canción de Los Horneros

(Song)(Canción)

On the ridge of my ranchEn la cumbrera e mi rancho
Two ovenbirds nestedAnidaron dos horneros
And I look like a strangerY yo parezco un extraño
And the ranch looks like theirsY el rancho parece de ellos

In alone, out aloneDentro solo, salgo solo
I always just come and goSiempre solo voy y vengo
I find them together in the fieldJuntos los hallo en el campo
And the field seems to be theirsY el campo parece de ellos

Together they work and singJuntos trabajan y cantan
And tweet they do it happilyY tuito lo hacen contentos
I don't know if they look at meYo no sé si a mí me miran
With pity or with contemptCon lástima o con desprecio

They don't even get scared when I pass byNi se asustan cuando paso
As if I were a dogComo si yo fuera un perro
That neither hinders nor harmsQue ni estorba ni hace daño
And they let him walk freeY lo dejan andar suelto

So I live on my ranchAnsina vivo en mi rancho
Since I only see myselfDende que solo me veo
Before, the nest was differentEnantes otro era el nido
And the world seemed oursY el mundo parecía nuestro

Pray to God, little ovenbird¡Rogále a Dios, hornerito
Don't let the same thing happen to you!Que no te pase lo mesmo!
