Chico del Campo

Michael Martin Murphey

Boy From The Country

Because he called the forest brother
Because he called the earth his mother
They drove him out into the rain
And some people even said
That the boy from the country was insane

Because he spoke with fish in the creek
He tried to tell us that the animals could speak
And who knows, maybe they do
Hey, how do you know they don't
Just because they've never spoken to you

Boy from the country
Left his home when he was young
Boy from the country
He loves the sun

He tried to tell us that we should love the land
We just turned our heads and laughed
You see we did not understand

But you know sometimes I think
The boy from the country
Must be the only one who sees
Because the boy from the country
Doesn't want to see the forest
He'd rather see the trees

Boy from the country
Left his home when he was young
Boy from the country
He loves the sun

Chico del Campo

Porque llamaba hermano al bosque
Porque llamaba madre a la tierra
Lo expulsaron bajo la lluvia
E incluso algunos decían
Que el chico del campo estaba loco

Porque hablaba con los peces en el arroyo
Intentaba decirnos que los animales podían hablar
Y quién sabe, tal vez lo hacen
Oye, ¿cómo sabes que no lo hacen?
Solo porque nunca te han hablado a ti

Chico del campo
Dejó su hogar cuando era joven
Chico del campo
Él ama el sol

Intentaba decirnos que debíamos amar la tierra
Solo volvíamos la cabeza y reíamos
Ves, no entendíamos

Pero sabes, a veces pienso
Que el chico del campo
Debe ser el único que ve
Porque el chico del campo
No quiere ver el bosque
Prefiere ver los árboles

Chico del campo
Dejó su hogar cuando era joven
Chico del campo
Él ama el sol
