Text: Felipe Ferrer
Labradora castellana
que evocas el romancero,
labradora, flor galana
que aroma el valle del Duero.
Cuando el beso del sol dora
los encendidos trigales
pone tu cara amapola
como en los pardos canchales.
Al tender la noche
su divino manto,
dice así la ronda
de mozos del campo:
"Ah!
Prende la Tierra de Campos,
desde Medina a Zamora,
infantina por tu sangre,
por tu oficio, labradora.
Eres tú la mejor moza
de toda la tierra llana,
infanzona de romance,
labradora castellana".
Girl of the fields of Castille
straight from. the ancient ballads,
girl of the fields, stately flower
scenting the Douro valley:
when the sun's kiss gilds
the flaming fields of wheat
your face becomes a poppy
red as those in the brown stony ground.
When night lays down
her heavenly mantle
the choir of young labourers
serenading sing:
"Ah!
Take possession of the fields
from Medina to Zamora,
Princess royal by blood,
girl of the fields by calling.
You are the finest girl
of all the plain,
Princess of the ancient ballads,
girl of the fields of Castille".
Sung in Spanish
