El carretero [English translation]

Ah, through my place's street

passed a cheerful carter

with his tune that's so peasant

so soulful, cheerful he sang

Ah, through my place's street

passed a cheerful carter

with his tune that's so soulful

so peasant, cheerful he sang

I'm going to the ferry to unload my cart

I'm going to the ferry to unload my cart

to reach the goal of my painful labour

[Chorus:] x2

On a horse we're going for the mountain

On a horse we're going for the mountain

I'm working without a break so that I can get married, 'cause

I'm working without a break so that I can get married

and if I can make it I'll be a blessed peasant.

(chorus) x2

I am a peasant and a carter, I live well in the fields

I am a peasant and a carter and I live well in the fields

because the fields are the loveliest Eden all over the world.

(chorus) x2

Chop through the mountain, farm the plains

reap the fruit of your sweat

Chop through the mountain, farm the plains

reap the fruit of your sweat
