This is a traditional Mexican song that is well know throughout the country, and in other parts of Latin America. It is a sort of theme song for the United Farm Workers Movement in the  US.  (Direct) Translation below
In color, in colors ……… The fields are dressed in the spring
In colors, In colors………..Are the little birds that come from outside
In colors, In colors ……….Is the rainbow we see shining
An that is why I love the great loves of may colors (2X)
