Paroles et traduction Miguel Aceves Mejía & Mariachi Vargas de Tecalitlán - El Pastor

El Pastor

Hey, pastorcito
Cuida bien las ovejas

Va el pastor con su rebaño
Al despuntar la mañana
Bajando por el sendero
De la sierra la pradera

Va musicando sus quejas
Con su flautín de carrizo
Seguido por sus ovejas
Como si fuera un hechizo

El flautín
Del pastor
Ay, ay, ay
Canta así

El pastor ya va de vuelta
Pues el sol se está ocultando
Va subiendo por la cuesta
Para guardar su rebaño

Con su flautín va llamando
Una a una sus ovejas
Y les va comunicando
Sus goces y sus tristezas

El flautín
Del pastor
Ay, ay, ay
Canta así

The Shepherd

Hey, little shepherd
Tend the sheep well

The shepherd goes with his flock
At dawn
Descending the path
From the mountains to the meadow

He sings his sorrows
With his reed flute
Followed by his sheep
As if it were a spell

The flute
Of the shepherd
Oh, oh, oh
Sings like this

The shepherd is on his way back
As the sun is setting
He's going up the hill
To keep his flock

With his flute he calls them
His sheep, one by one
And he tells them
His joys and sorrows

The flute
Of the shepherd
Oh, oh, oh
Sings like this
