English term or phrase: please see "context" box
This phrase comes from "The Handsomest Drowned Man In The World" by Gabriel
Garcia Marquez. It is difficult to find the story in languages other than English and
Spanish where I live, which is why I am trying my luck with this! As there is not enough
room for the complete translation in the “answer” space, please put it under
“explanation.”

LOOK THERE, WHERE THE WIND IS SO PEACEFUL NOW THAT IT'S GONE TO SLEEP BENEATH THE BEDS,
OVER THERE, WHERE THE SUN'S SO BRIGHT
THAT THE SUNFLOWERS DON'T KNOW WHICH WAY TO TURN, YES, OVER THERE, THAT'S ESTEBAN'S VILLAGE.


Thanks a million for your response!

regarde là-bas, où le soleil est si lumineux que les tournesols ne safvent pas de quel côté tourner, oui, là-bas, c'est le village d'Esteban.

Hope it will help you
