| Because he called the forest brother
| Porque llamó al hermano del bosque
|
| Because he called the earth his mother
| Porque llamó a la tierra su madre
|
| They drove him out into the rain
| Lo sacaron bajo la lluvia
|
| Some people even said the boy from the country was insane
| Algunas personas incluso dijeron que el chico del campo estaba loco.
|
| Because he spoke with fish in the creek
| Porque habló con peces en el arroyo
|
| He tried to tell us that the animals could speak
| Trató de decirnos que los animales podían hablar
|
| Who knows, perhaps they do How do you know they don t Just because they ve never spoken to you
| Quién sabe, tal vez lo hagan. ¿Cómo sabes que no? Solo porque nunca te han hablado.
|
| Boy from the country, he left his home when he was young
| Chico de campo, abandonó su casa cuando era joven.
|
| Boy from the country, he loves the sun
| Chico de campo, le encanta el sol
|
| He tried to tell us that we should love the land
| Trató de decirnos que debemos amar la tierra
|
| We turned our heads and laughed
| Giramos la cabeza y nos reímos.
|
| And we did not understand
| Y no entendíamos
|
| Sometimes I think that the boy from the country
| A veces pienso que el chico del campo
|
| Is the only one who sees
| Es el único que ve
|
| Because the boy from the country
| Porque el chico del campo
|
| Doesn t want to see the forest for the trees
| No quiere ver el bosque por los árboles.
|
| Boy from the country, he left his home when he was young
| Chico de campo, abandonó su casa cuando era joven.
|
| Boy from the country, he loves the sun
| Chico de campo, le encanta el sol
