Lyrics and translation Atahualpa Yupanqui - Canción de los Horneros

Canción de los Horneros

En la cumbrera 'e mi rancho
Anidaron dos horneros
En la cumbrera 'e mi rancho
Anidaron dos horneros

Y yo parezco un extraño
Y el rancho parece de ellos
Y yo parezco un extraño
Y el rancho parece de ellos

Dentro solo, salgo solo
Siempre solo voy y vengo
Dentro solo, salgo solo
Siempre solo voy y vengo

Los hallo juntos por el campo
Y el campo parece de ellos

Juntos trabajan y cantan
Y tuito lo hacen contentos
Yo no sé si a mí me miran
Con lástima o con desprecio

Ni se asustan cuando paso
Como si yo fuera un perro
Que no estorbo ni hago daño
Y me dejan andar suelto

Ansina vivo en mi rancho
Dende que solo me veo
Ansina vivo en mi rancho
Dende que solo me veo

Enantes otro era el nido
Y el mundo parecía nuestro
Enantes otro era el nido
Y el mundo parecía nuestro

¡Rogále a Dios, hornerito,
Que no te pase lo mesmo!

Song of the Ovenbirds

On the ridge of my ranch, my love
Two ovenbirds have made their nest
On the ridge of my ranch, my love
Two ovenbirds have made their nest

And I seem like a stranger here
And the ranch seems to belong to them
And I seem like a stranger here
And the ranch seems to belong to them

Inside alone, I go out alone
Always alone I come and go
Inside alone, I go out alone
Always alone I come and go

I find them together in the field
And the field seems to belong to them

Together they work and sing, my love
And everything they do with joy
I don't know if they look at me
With pity or with disdain

They don't even get scared when I pass
As if I were a dog, my love
That doesn't bother or cause harm
And they let me roam free

This is how I live on my ranch
Ever since I've been alone
This is how I live on my ranch
Ever since I've been alone

Before, the nest was different, my love
And the world seemed to be ours
Before, the nest was different, my love
And the world seemed to be ours

Pray to God, little ovenbird
That the same doesn't happen to you!
