Las Cruces - Atahualpa Yupanqui перевод на английский

Las Cruces

Yo he visto cruces de palo
A lo largo del camino
Aquel que muere en el campo
No lo olvida el campesino
Yo he visto cruces de palo
A la orilla del camino

Le cantan los chalchaleros
Como eligiendo sus trinos
Su nombre nadie lo supo
Pero no es desconocido
Yo he visto cruces de palo
A la orilla del camino

Flores del campo soleado
Con sus pétalos marchitos
Quedan mirando a la cruz
Y el viento lleva un suspiro
Yo he visto cruces de palo
A la orilla del camino

Si lo ha apretau un caballo
O en duelo fue malherido
Si se cansó el corazón
O en la nieve se ha dormido
Yo he visto cruces de palo
A la orilla del camino

Muerte de aquel que camina
Por el último camino
Tiene una cruz y un recuerdo
Pega'o a los sembradíos
Yo he visto cruces de palo
A lo largo del camino

The Crosses

I've seen crosses of wood, my love,
Along the long, long road.
He who dies in the fields, my dear,
Is not forgotten by those who sow.
I've seen crosses of wood, my love,
By the side of the road.

The chalchaleros sing to them, sweet,
As if choosing their trills with care.
His name, no one ever knew, my dear,
But he's not unknown there.
I've seen crosses of wood, my love,
By the side of the road.

Flowers of the sunlit fields, my sweet,
With their petals withered and brown,
Remain gazing at the cross, my dear,
And the wind carries a sigh down.
I've seen crosses of wood, my love,
By the side of the road.

If a horse has crushed him, my sweet,
Or in a duel he was wounded sore,
If his heart grew tired, my dear,
Or in the snow he slept no more,
I've seen crosses of wood, my love,
By the side of the road.

Death of one who walks, my sweet,
Along the final road he'll tread,
Has a cross and a memory, my dear,
Close to the sown fields spread.
I've seen crosses of wood, my love,
Along the long, long road.
