Translation of the song lyrics La Oveja Negra - Silvio Rodríguez

La Oveja Negra (original)

Se ha perdido la oveja negra
se me ha ido para las piedras
a ese pasto que queda arriba
de la montaa cerca del sol
o estar buscando una oveja de su color
Se ha perdido una oveja.
Es la misma oveja oscura que de noche
no se ve bajo los rayos de la luna.
Es la misma que se atora en los barrancos.
Es la misma que anteayer maldijo el cura.
Ahora es la maldicin de mi rebao.
Ahora es la incertidumbre de mis hijos.
Ahora es cuanto hay de triste en estos aos
porque el padre por su boca la maldijo.
Se ha perdido una oveja.
La maana vendr temprano
estar para echarle mano
romper con su mal ejemplo
para el rebao que manda Dios,
porque el pasto de mis ovejas lo siembro yo.
Se ha perdido una oveja.

La Oveja Negra (translation)

The black sheep has been lost
I have gone to the stones
to that grass that is above
of the mountain near the sun
or be looking for a sheep of its color
A sheep has been lost.
It's the same dark sheep as at night
it is not seen under the rays of the moon.
It is the same that gets stuck in the ravines.
It is the same one that the priest cursed the day before yesterday.
Now it is the curse of my flock.
Now is the uncertainty of my children.
Now is how much there is of sadness in these years
because her father cursed her through her mouth.
A sheep has been lost.
The morning will come early
be there to lay hands
break their bad example
for the flock that God commands,
because I sow the pasture of my sheep.
A sheep has been lost.
