Cabraliega

Shepherdess, shepherdessCabraliega, cabraliega
As you climb to La PeñaQu'amayades pa La Peña
From your grazing landQue desde la to mayada
You see the sea and you see the landVes la mar y ves la tierra
Tell me what you see up aheadDime qué ves all alantre
Tell me what you see, shepherdessDime qué ves, cabraliega
What faces you encounterQué semblantes acolumbres
What sky is presented to youQué cielu se te presenta
From that steep lookoutDesde esa arispia talaya
From that old lookoutDesde esa talaya vieya

Shepherdess, shepherdessCabraliega, cabraliega
As you climb to La PeñaQu'amayades pa La Peña
Flower of the air, flower of the windFlor del aire, flor del vientu
Flower of the summit meadowFlor de la campa cimera
Tell me what you see, shepherdessDime lo que ves, pastora
Tell me what you see, shepherdessDime qué ves, cabraliega

From these high cliffsDesde estes peñes tan altes
Where the seagulls flyOnde vuela la milluerda
Where the eagle roamsPer onde campa l'argaa
And the fox hidesY s'escuende la robeca
I see skies of ironVeo cielos de ferruu
Hard spheres of stoneDures esferes de piedra
And the heart of my peopleY el corazón de los míos
With a deep crackCon una fonda resquiebra
Where the ancient voice of this landPer onde se va sumiendo
Is fading awayL'antigua voz d'esta tierra

Shepherdess, shepherdessCabraliega, cabraliega
As you climb to La PeñaQu'amayades pa La peña
Flower of the air, flower of the windFlor del aire, flor del vientu
Flower of the summit meadowFlor de la campa cimera
Join your song with mineXunta'l to cantar col míu
So that this voice never diesPa qu'esa voz nunca muerra
And when time passesY que cuando pase'l tiempu
And our hearts areY el nuestru corazón tea
Twisted and wornEngurbiu y mayucu
Like an old caressComo una coricia vieya
We can see each other againPodamos volver a venos
And hear together, shepherdessY oyer xuntos, cabraliega
The voice of new shepherdsLa voz de pastores nuevos
Resonating through La PeñaResonando pela Peña
And the voice of the ancientsY la voz de los antiguos
In their song, shepherdessNel so cantar, cabraliega

As you climb to La PeñaQu'amayades pa La Peña
Flower of the air, flower of the windFlor del aire, flor del vientu
Flower of the summit meadowFlor de la campa cimera
Heart of ancient landCorazón de tierra antigua
Heart of my landCorazón de la mío tierra
