El Nido - The Nest (Words: Alfredo Espino)

Es porque un pajarito de la montaña ha hecho
It is because a little mountain bird has made
en el hueco de un árbol su nido matinal,
In the hollow of a tree its morning nest
que el árbol amanece con música en el pecho,
that the tree wakes up with music inside its chest
como que si tuviera corazón musical...
as if it had a musical heart…
Si el dulce pajarito por entre el hueco asoma,
If the sweet bird goes out a bit (through the hole)
para beber rocío, para beber aroma,
To drink dew, to drink scent
el árbol de la sierra me dá la sensación
The tree in the sierra gives me this sensation
de que se le ha salido, cantando el corazón.
That its singing heart has left it.
