El Sol Que Tu Eres Lyrics

written by Daniel Valdez

Sol redondo y colorado

Como una rueda de cobre

De diario me estas mirando

De diario me miras pobre

(Coro)

Sol lo tu eres

Tan parejo

Para repartir tu luz

Habias de enseñarle al amo

A ser lo mismo que tu

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 Rubn guessed that it might be

very old, perhaps a hundred years or

so. I first sang it with Danny Valdez

in Corridos, a P.B.S. production
Linda Ronstadt - El Sol Que Tu Eres - http://motolyrics.com/linda-ronstadt/el-sol-que-tu-eres-lyrics.html
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

Csar Chavez. L.R.

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.
