El Niño de La Miel

The Honey Boy

El Niño de La Miel

The heart is made of earthEs de tierra el corazón
And his hands are made of waterY sus manos son de agua
His ears of cotton and his voice of mintLas orejas de algodón y su voz de yerbabuena
The honey boy awaits meEl niño de la miel me espera
Flower of the airFlor del aire

The enchanted bamboo grove, his refugeEl guadual encantado, su refugio
Son of the wind, all springHijo del viento, toda primavera
The honey boy does not arriveEl niño de la miel no llega

He leaves, grows, does not find his placeSe va, crece, no encuentra su lugar

The enchanted bamboo grove, his refugeEl guadual encantado, su refugio
The spell of the water, his solaceEl hechizo del agua, su consuelo
The honey boy that I long for...El niño de la miel que anhelo...
