Yo Te Amo Maria
Harvest of Love: A Peasant's Anthem to Maria
Lyrics
I'm a poor peasant boy, I'm a dirt farmer's son
I come from humble origins, a son of a farmer working with soil.
And I feel like a king when I know that my work is all done
Accomplishing my tasks gives me a sense of fulfillment akin to royalty.
For at twilight I know, there's a place I must go
At dusk, I have a designated place to be.
To sing my song of love for one who waits all alone
I go there to express my love through a song for someone waiting for me.
Yote amo Maria, Maria amor
I love you, Maria; Maria, my love.
Yote amo Maria, Maria mi amor
-Oh, the beautiful sights of the great city lights
The bustling, attractive views of the city don't hold allure for me.
Where most people must run to try to have fun, not for me
Unlike most who seek enjoyment in the city, I find my joy elsewhere.
For this woman of mine is much sweeter than wine
My beloved is more precious to me than any city entertainment.
And I spend all the time I can find with my Marie
I dedicate as much time as possible to be with my beloved, Marie.
Yote amo Maria, Maria amor
I love you, Maria; Maria, my love.
Yote amo Maria, Maria mi amor
-Oh, the joy of my life will one day be my wife
The woman I love will eventually become my wife.
And we'll spend all our days watching the world roll on by
We'll spend our days together, observing life pass by.
When her time comes to fly to that home in the sky
When she passes away and ascends to heaven.
I pray the angels above will love her as much as I
I hope the angels will love her as deeply as I do.
Yote amo Maria, Maria amor
I love you, Maria; Maria, my love.
Yote amo Maria, Maria mi amor
