Song For A Pastor

Canción Para Un Pastor

Singing happily along the roadCantando viene contento por el camino
He carries a rose in his handtrae en la mano una rosa
And in his peasant chesty en su pecho campesino
A metal heartun corazón de metal
To protect himself from the coldpara librarse del frío.
I wish, pastor, to have the soul of a child from youDe ti quisiera pastor, tener el alma de niño.

Singing happily along the roadCantando viene contento por el camino
His mountain left behindatrás quedó su montaña,
His flock by the riversu rebaño junto al río
And his little guardiany su pequeño guardián
Sitting by the roadsentado junto al camino.
I wish, Julian, to have the soul of a child from youDe ti quisiera Julián, tener el alma de niño.

And a dark-skinned woman will wait for youY una mujer morena te esperará
To dry your sweatspara secarte sudores
And by the fire, she will kiss youy junto al fuego te besará
Calming your sorrowscalmando tus sin sabores.
And when tomorrow comes, you will leaveY cuando llegue mañana te marcharás
Leaving your village far behinddejando lejos tu aldea
And you will return to your flocky a tu rebaño regresarás
Leaving only your heart in the villagedejando sólo en la aldea el corazón.

Singing happily he walks along the roadCantando marcha contento por el camino,
His house left behindatrás quedará su casa,
His beautiful love and his childrensu bello amor y sus hijos.
Thinking of them, he will goPensando en ellos se irá
Singing along the roadcantando por el camino.
You will always be, pastor, my best friendTú siempre serás pastor el mejor amigo mío.
