YO SOY DE SAN TELMO
I’m from San Telmo
They are often seen on the ground collecting mud or dung to build their remarkable nests.
These look for all the world like miniature versions of the type of oven (or "horno") that you see outside many houses in rural South America. Hence the name "Ovenbirds" in English and "Hornero", the Spanish for baker.
Yo soy de San Telmo y vengo
por estos barrios para dejar,
un verso para las madres
y mozas de mi ciudad.
Yo soy un cantor sincero,
sencillo y sentimental,
trabajo como el hornero
y canto como el zorzal.
Siempre supe respetar
al que hablo y trato conmigo,
en San Telmo me conocen
por cantor y buen amigo.
Si hay que calmar el dolor
del que vive padeciendo,
soy primero en la ocasión
para aliviar su corazón.
por estos barrios para dejar,
un verso para las madres
y mozas de mi ciudad.
Yo soy un cantor sincero,

del que vive padeciendo,
soy primero en la ocasión
para aliviar su corazón.
I'm from San Telmo and I come
by these districts to leave
a verse for the mothers
and young women of my city.
I am a sincere singer,
simple and sentimental
I work like the ovenbird
and I sing like a thrust.
I always knew to respect
the one who spoke and related to me,
in San Telmo they know me
as a singer and good friend.
If it's needed to calm the pain
of the one that lives suffering,
I'm first in the occasion
to alleviate his heart.
