De Sol A Sol (A Mis Padres) Lyrics in English Juan Gabriel
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song De Sol A Sol (A Mis Padres) by Juan Gabriel from Spanish to English.
Mi padre fue un arriero, de Jacona Michoacán
My father was a muleteer, from Jacona, Michoacán
Mi padre fue campesino, mi madre, por igual
My father was a farmer, my mother, as well
Sembrando la tierra de sol a sol
Planting the land from dawn till dusk
Dice mi hermano Lupe el mayor, que era un hombre trabajador
My older brother Lupe says he was a hardworking man
Que estaba lleno de inspiración
That he was full of inspiration
Parácuaro, Parácuaro, pueblito testigo de tanto dolor
Parácuaro, Parácuaro, little town witness to so much pain
Tú que viste nacer a Virginia, a Lupe
You who saw Virginia, Lupe born
A Pablo, a Miguel y a Gabriel
Pablo, Miguel and Gabriel
Tú que viste morir a mi madre
You who saw my mother die
Esperando a mi padre que no supo de el
Waiting for my father who didn't know about him
Aun no se, ni donde esta la tumba de mi papa
I still don't know, nor where my dad's grave is
Unos dicen que en México, y otros que en Michoacán
Some say in Mexico, and others in Michoacán
Unos dicen que no ha muerto, y otros que no vive ya
Some say he hasn't died, and others that he no longer lives
Parácuaro, Parácuaro, pueblito testigo de tanto dolor
Parácuaro, Parácuaro, little town witness to so much pain

Sembrando la tierra de sol a sol

De sol a sol, de sol a sol, de sol a sol, de sol a sol
From dawn till dusk, from dawn till dusk, from dawn till dusk, from dawn till dusk

Sembrando la tierra de sol a sol
