Testo:
written by Daniel Valdez
Sol redondo y colorado
Como una rueda de cobre
De diario me estГЎs mirando
De diario me miras pobre
(Coro)
Sol lo tГє eres
Tan parejo
Para repartir tu luz
HabГas de enseñarle al amo
A ser lo mismo que tГє
Me miras con el arado
Luego con la rozadera
Una vez en la llanura
Y otra vez en la ladera
This exquisite ballad is in the
public domain and relatively unknown
Don RubГ©n guessed that it might be
very old, perhaps a hundred years or
so I first sang it with Danny Valdez
in Corridos, a PBS production
directed by his brother Luis Danny
said that he learned it on the picket
line with Teatro Campesino, helping
to organize the farm workers with
CГ©sar ChГЎvez LR
The Sun That You Are
Sun, round and red
Like a copper wheel
Daily you are looking at me
Daily you see me poor
(Chorus)
Sun that you are
So fair to everyone
As you spread your light
You should teach my boss
How to be the same as you
You see me with the plow
Later with the sickle
One time on the plains
And other time on the hillside
