Cantan alegres los campesinos
llevando grano a sus molinos,
cortan el trigo, recogen centeno
para que amase el buen panadero,
van a huertos, recogen sus cestas, tomates rojos, coles y berzas,
cae tarde sobre el sembrado,
llegan a casa ya muy cansados,
este es el tiempo de la cosecha,
damos las gracias, ¡viva la fiesta!
-Cancionero Estacional Waldorf
Rough English Translation:
The peasants sing cheerfully bringing grain to their mills,
cut the wheat, collect rye
to please the good baker,
they go to orchards, collect their baskets, red tomatoes, cabbages and collards,
it gets late on the sown field,
they arrive home, very tired,
this is the harvest time,
we give thanks, long live the party!
