The Olive Tree (feat. Héctor Maure)

El Olivo (part. Héctor Maure)

There by the riversideAllá junto a la ribera
A happy guy livedUn tano feliz vivía
Working night and dayTrabajando noche y día
With his partner by his sideJunto con la compañera

And from the stream's soft soundY del riachuelo al rumor
And lulled by its whispersY arrullao por sus murmullos
The cranes were happyEran felices los grullos
Wrapped up in their loveEngupidos en su amor

And the gossiping ladies sayY dicen las comadres
Strolling by the riverPaseando junto al río
Those two ran awayAquellos se fugaron
On a little boatSul piccolo navío

But since they never came backMás como no volvieron
And time just went onY el tiempo transcurrió
People started sayingLa gente te dijeron
The little changeEl piccolo cambio

Cheerful tavernBodegón risueño
What a distant dayQué lejano día
Drunk on joyEbrios de alegría
It was a songEra una canción

Until luck turnedHasta que la suerte
Changing their fateCambia su destino
And between blood and wineY entre sangre y vino
A heart cried outLloro un corazón
