La Oveja Negra

The Black Sheep

The black sheep has gone missing
It has gone to the rocks
To that pasture up above
the mountain near the sun
Or maybe it's looking for a sheep of its color
A sheep has gone missing
It's the same dark sheep that at night
is not seen under the moonlight
It's the same one that gets stuck in the ravines
It's the same one that the priest cursed the day before
Now it's the curse of my flock
Now it's the uncertainty of my children
Now it's all that's sad in these years
because the father cursed it with his mouth
A sheep has gone missing
The morning will come early
I'll be there to catch it
I'll break its bad example
for the flock that God commands
because I sow the pasture for my sheep
A sheep has gone missing.
