Lyrics and translation Oscar Chavez - La Milpa




La Milpa
The Cornfield
Qué bonita está la milpa
How beautiful the cornfield is
Rodeada de girasol
Surrounded by sunflowers
Donde se trilla el ganado
Where the cattle are herded
Ya está lloviendo con sol
It's raining with sunshine
Pájaros madrugadores
Early morning birds
Me enseñaron la canción
Taught me the song
Desde el atrás del arado
From behind the plow
Donde llora el corazón
Where my heart cries
Granito te has de comer
Grain you must eat
Granito que has de sembrar
Grain you must sow
Si cosecha quieres ver
If you want to see a harvest
Antes tienes que sudar
You must sweat first
Si cosecha quieres ver
If you want to see a harvest
Antes tienes que sudar
You must sweat first
Qué bonita está la milpa
How beautiful the cornfield is
Huele a hierbas, huele a flor
It smells of herbs, it smells of flowers
Cuando se pone la noche
When night falls
Da un poquito de dolor
It brings a little pain
Pájaros madrugadores
Early morning birds
Me enseñaron la canción
Taught me the song
Desde el atrás del arado
From behind the plow
Donde llora el corazón
Where my heart cries
Granito te has de comer
Grain you must eat
Granito que has de sembrar
Grain you must sow
Si cosecha quieres ver
If you want to see a harvest
Antes tienes que sudar
You must sweat first
Si cosecha quieres ver
If you want to see a harvest
Antes tienes que sudar
You must sweat first
Granito que has de comer
Grain you must eat
Granito que has de sembrar
Grain you must sow
Si cosecha quieres ver
If you want to see a harvest
Antes tienes que sudar
You must sweat first
Si cosecha quieres ver
If you want to see a harvest
Antes tienes que sudar
You must sweat first
Granito que has de comer
Grain you must eat
Granito que has de sembrar
Grain you must sow
Si cosecha quieres ver
If you want to see a harvest
