good

and

I have seen wooden crosses on the shore

from the road to the one who dies in the fields

don't forget the farmer was seen

crosses of sticks at the edge of the road

I have not seen wooden crosses on the shore

of the way

he loves chalchaleros like

choosing his name suffered no one

knew but it is not unknown I have seen

Unemployment crosses on the side of the road I

I have seen wooden crosses on the shore of the

path

it is the sunny field it is the field with its

withered petals wither looking at the

cross and the wind carries a sigh in me

these unemployment crossings on the shore of the

path

if he operated on a horse when he was

badly hurt if the heart got tired come back

snow has fallen asleep I have seen crosses

of sticks on the edge of the road I have

seen wooden crosses on the shore of the

path

the death of the one who walks the

last path has a cross and a

memory attached to the fields

I have not seen crosses of sticks on the shore

along the way I have seen wooden crosses

by the side of the road

flower

from the sunny field is a field with

its withered petals without looking

the cross and the wind carry a sigh

I have seen unemployment crosses on the shore of the

path was seen stick crosses to the

wayside

sembradíos — sown fields / cultivated fields

Sembradíos refers to cultivated fields or areas where crops are sown. It's a less common word than simply "campo" (field) and evokes a specific image of agricultural land.

In the context of "Las Cruces," the word appears in the line "tiene una cruz y un recuerdo pegado a los sembradíos" (it has a cross and a memory attached to the sown fields). This imagery connects the crosses, which mark graves, directly to the working land, suggesting a deep, enduring connection between life, death, and the earth in the rural setting of the song.

Have you ever noticed those simple wooden crosses by the side of the road? That's what Los Tipitos are singing about in "Las Cruces." It's a really touching song about remembering those who've passed away in the countryside. The lyrics talk about how even if no one knew their name, they're not forgotten: "su nombre nadie lo supo pero no es desconocido" [his name no one knew but he is not unknown].

It's a beautiful, melancholic reflection on life and death in the rural fields. The song mentions the "campo soleado" [sunny field] and "pétalos marchitos" [withered petals], creating a vivid image of nature's cycle. It even imagines the wind carrying a sigh as people look at the cross. It's a reminder that every life, even those lived simply, leaves a mark.
