El Manantial

The Spring

El Manantial

Dreams don't pay the bills, Julio tells JorgeDe sueños no vives julio dice a Jorge
Get realHaste ala realidad
We need money but we won't earn it sitting hereDinero ocupamos pero aquí sentados no lo vamos a ganar
The drought is harsh, the cattle are dyingLa seca esta dura las reses se mueren
The harvest is lostLa cosecha se perdio
At this rate, we won't even have enough to eatY así como vamos ni para comer vamos a tener los dos

Jorge replies, 'I have an ideaJorge le contesta yo tengo una idea
See if you agreeAver si deacuerdo estas
Up in the mountains, there's a little planArriba en la sierra hay un planesito
With a big springCon un grande manantial

Early the next day, they climbed up the mountainOtro día temprano ala sierra subieron
And started plantingY empezaron a sembrar
The damn grass that has become popular everywhereLa hierba mentada que por donde quiera ya se ha echo popular
They managed the first harvest wellLa primer cosecha bien la acomodaron
Luck was on their sideLa suerte los ayudo
But they were caught in the second onePero en la segunda fueron descubiertos
The feds came down on themLa federal les cayo

'Surrender,' they shout, but they didn't give inRindanse les gritan pero no cedieron
And there they both stayedY ahí quedaron los dos
The blood of those brave brothersLa sangre de aquellos hermanos valientes
The spring took awayEl manantial se llevo
