Por Amor a Mi Pueblo

For the Love of My Town

Por Amor a Mi Pueblo

I work from sunup to sundownTrabajo de sol a sol
And sometimes I finish in the early hoursY a veces termino de madrugada
Thinking of my beautiful flowerPensando en mi linda flor
So that she never lacks anythingPara que no llegue a faltarle nada

Passing through the pathsPasando por las veredas
Until reaching the cornfieldsHasta llegar hasta los maizales
Singing with the streamsCantando con los arroyos
With the forest and the animalsCon la floresta y los animales

For the love of my town, for the love of my townPor amor a mi pueblo,por amor a mi pueblo
For the love of my townPor amor a mi pueblo
I work during the day, I watch over at nightDe dia trabajo,de noche velo

For the love of my town, for the love of my townPor amor ami pueblo,por amor a mi pueblo
For the love of this landPor amor a esta tierra
Where my father and grandfather restDonde descansan papa y abuelo

I'm going to ask you two thingsTe voy a pedir dos cosas
Before it's too lateAntes que sea demasiado tarde
That you keep your accounts in orderQue tengas muy bien tus cuentas
And don't aim for a big familyY no pretendas familia grande

Don't say I don't love youNo digas que no te quiero
I just aim to live betterSolo pretendo vivir mejor
And give you and my childrenY darle a ti y a mis hijos
What I never hadLo que jamas he tenido yo

For the love of my town, for the love of my townPor amor a mi pueblo,por amor a mi pueblo
For the love of my townPor amor a mi pueblo
I work during the day, I watch over at nightDe dia trabajo,de noche velo

For the love of my town, for the love of my townPor amor ami pueblo,por amor a mi pueblo
For the love of this landPor amor a esta tierra
Where my father and grandfather restDonde descansan papa y abuelo

I'm a man like any other manSoy hombre como el mas hombre
Planning ahead costs me nothingPlanificar no me quita nada
I don't ask anyone for creditA nadie le pido fiado
And I live on more than just bread and waterY vivo mas que de pan y agua

I own my horseSoy dueño de mi caballo
My harvest and my hutDe mi cosecha y de mi jacal
I didn't have school as a childNo tuve escuela de niño
But I learned through my own willPero aprendi por mi voluntad

For the love of my town, for the love of my townPor amor a mi pueblo,por amor a mi pueblo
For the love of my townPor amor a mi pueblo
I work during the day, I watch over at nightDe dia trabajo,de noche velo

For the love of my town, for the love of my townPor amor ami pueblo,por amor a mi pueblo
For the love of this landPor amor a esta tierra
Where my father and grandfather restDonde descansan papa y abuelo
