Cuando estoy en el campo [English translation]

When I'm at the countryside, my life changes

my little adobe house, that's my place.

I can hear the singing of a rooster

telling me that today, at my ranch,

a new beautiful is coming.

Love awakes,

faith is restored, life begins,

everything is harmony.

When I'm at the countryside, I go to the river

to listen to the silence of God and mine.

It bathes me, it rocks me, it makes me sleepy, it carries me away,

and it calms me, just as

my beloved father would do when I was a child,

and also my pretty mother with her love and care.

~

When I'm at the countryside and the day ends,

before the sun goes away like my father did,

I ride my horse and enjoy

and admire my beautiful brown land.

I see the vineyards, the alfalfa, the corn, the rice,

the wheat, and green walnut trees.

When I'm at the countryside, I can see the stars,

when I watch them, beautiful memories come to me.

I remember my father, my mother, my uncles,

my brother, mi grandfather and my grandmother.

I imagine that all my people,

that I carry with me,

are every star I see.

I won't leave this place, I'll stay here.

I won't leave this place, I'll stay here.
