I never knew anyone
who'd feel greater happiness
than mine, living here in the backwoods
Close to a woodland
Beside a huge river
It's only God and me here in the backwoods
A humble home
A hammock to sleep in
And when the night comes
I lay down to watch the show of starry sky
I don't know what time it is
But I see as the bright of the dawn comes
And there I go to sow the earth
I sing as I work
The earth is my inspiration
It's only God and me here in the backwoods
There's no loneliness
There are always festivals in the village
After the mass, I'm going to see my girl
On my way home, the log's bunring in the woodstove
And surrounded by the tune of the woodland,
I follow on the way, I and my guitar
