Early in the morning
the kid goes with his dad,
they go wandering to the furrow
to peel canes of Tucuman.
The little girl cooks while,
his mom is washing,
and in the distance are heard
the machetes slashes in the reedbed
His dad is cutting and
the kid is collecting,
to load the carts
that will go to the sugar cane mill
The day is over,
there goes the kid with his dad,
and at the ranch are awaiting
mate cocido and hot bread
