La Pastora

The Shepherdess

La Pastora

As soon as dawn breaksApenas nace la aurora
The day's light comesYa viene el alba del día
As soon as dawn breaksApenas nace la aurora
The day's light comesYa viene el alba del día

A shepherdess has come downHa bajado una pastora
At the foot of a mountainAl pie de una serranía

She brings some papersElla trae unos papeles
With the story of her lifeCon la historia de su vida
She brings some papersElla trae unos papeles
With the story of her lifeCon la historia de su vida

And as she reads themY mientras los va leyendo
She falls asleepSe va quedando dormida

The house where she livedEra de esmalte y de piedra
Was made of enamel and stoneLa casa donde habitaba
The house where she livedEra de esmalte y de piedra
Was made of enamel and stoneLa casa donde habitaba

Brushes won't paintNo la pintarán pinceles
As beautifully as she wasTan linda como ella estaba

Poor shepherdessPobrecita la pastora
Who has passed away in the fieldsQue ha fallecido en los campos
Poor shepherdessPobrecita la pastora
Who has passed away in the fieldsQue ha fallecido en los campos

May God grant her gloryQue Dios le conceda gloria
For having suffered so muchPor haber sufrido tanto
May God grant her gloryQue Dios le conceda gloria
For having suffered so muchPor haber sufrido tanto
