For the Love of My Town

Marco Antonio Solís

Por Amor a Mi Pueblo

Trabajo de sol a sol
Y a veces termino de madrugada
Pensando en mi linda flor
Para que no llegue a faltarle nada

Pasando por las veredas
Hasta llegar hasta los maizales
Cantando con los arroyos
Con la floresta y los animales

Por amor a mi pueblo,por amor a mi pueblo
Por amor a mi pueblo
De dia trabajo,de noche velo

Por amor ami pueblo,por amor a mi pueblo
Por amor a esta tierra
Donde descansan papa y abuelo

Te voy a pedir dos cosas
Antes que sea demasiado tarde
Que tengas muy bien tus cuentas
Y no pretendas familia grande

No digas que no te quiero
Solo pretendo vivir mejor
Y darle a ti y a mis hijos
Lo que jamas he tenido yo

Por amor a mi pueblo,por amor a mi pueblo
Por amor a mi pueblo
De dia trabajo,de noche velo

Por amor ami pueblo,por amor a mi pueblo
Por amor a esta tierra
Donde descansan papa y abuelo

Soy hombre como el mas hombre
Planificar no me quita nada
A nadie le pido fiado
Y vivo mas que de pan y agua

Soy dueño de mi caballo
De mi cosecha y de mi jacal
No tuve escuela de niño
Pero aprendi por mi voluntad

Por amor a mi pueblo,por amor a mi pueblo
Por amor a mi pueblo
De dia trabajo,de noche velo

Por amor ami pueblo,por amor a mi pueblo
Por amor a esta tierra
Donde descansan papa y abuelo

For the Love of My Town

I work from sunup to sundown
And sometimes I finish in the early hours
Thinking of my beautiful flower
So that she never lacks anything

Passing through the paths
Until reaching the cornfields
Singing with the streams
With the forest and the animals

For the love of my town, for the love of my town
For the love of my town
I work during the day, I watch over at night

For the love of my town, for the love of my town
For the love of this land
Where my father and grandfather rest

I'm going to ask you two things
Before it's too late
That you keep your accounts in order
And don't aim for a big family

Don't say I don't love you
I just aim to live better
And give you and my children
What I never had

For the love of my town, for the love of my town
For the love of my town
I work during the day, I watch over at night

For the love of my town, for the love of my town
For the love of this land
Where my father and grandfather rest

I'm a man like any other man
Planning ahead costs me nothing
I don't ask anyone for credit
And I live on more than just bread and water

I own my horse
My harvest and my hut
I didn't have school as a child
But I learned through my own will

For the love of my town, for the love of my town
For the love of my town
I work during the day, I watch over at night

For the love of my town, for the love of my town
For the love of this land
Where my father and grandfather rest
