Atajitos de Caña

Sugarcane Pathways

Atajitos de Caña

For your green eyes my lovePara tus ojos verdes amor
Of green sugarcaneDe caña verde
For your golden skin my beingPara tu piel dorada mi ser
Of sown spikeDe espiga sembrada

For your green eyes my lovePara tus ojos verdes amor
Of green sugarcaneDe caña verde
For your golden skin my beingPara tu piel dorada mi ser
Of sown spikeDe espiga sembrada

For you my songPara tí mi canción
Will descend the ravineBajará la quebrada
Hopefully it reaches the riverOjalá llegue al río
Where you are, belovedDonde estás amada
And whispers in your earY te diga al oído
That the sugarcane field has whispered to meQue el cañal me ha soplado
And has broken my love versesY que ha quebrado mis versos de amor
To tell you minePara Decirte mía

Sugarcane pathwaysAtajitos de caña
You came into my lifeLlegaste a mi vida
Drops of honeyAtajitos de miel
Sweetened my soulEndulzaste mi alma
And bits of loveY atajitos de amor
I started loving youTe fuí queriendo
Like the green sugarcane in the sunComo la caña verde al sol
And bread to the spikeY el pan a la espiga
Like the green sugarcane in the sunComo la caña verde al sol
And bread to the spikeY el pan a la espiga

For you my songPara tí mi canción
