No snow, sun, or rainNo hay nieves, soles, ni lluvias

honoring the workdignificando el trabajo
with steady steps through the day.a paso firme en el día.
With his Chilean figureCon su chilena figura
like a morning Don QuixoteQuijote de la mañana
slim and rockydelgadamente rocoso
heading to the mountainacudiendo a la montaña
while at his ranch waitsmientras le espera en su rancho
soup and fried dough singing.la sopa y pilla cantando.
