Angelito Mexicano

Mexican Little Angel

Angelito Mexicano

In Mexico, there's a treasureEn México hay un tesoro
A little golden angelUn angelito de oro
Perched on one footPosado en un solo pie
When you look upCuando uno mira hacia arriba
It's like a living starEs como una estrella viva
That invents the dawnQue inventa el amanecer

Seems to ask for permissionParece pedir permiso
From the owner of paradiseAl dueño del paraíso
For all of humanityPor toda la humanidad
That in this earthly lifeQue en esta vida terrena
Is chained to tearsA lágrimas se encadena
And seeks eternityY busca la eternidad

Come on and do us a favorAndale y haz el favor
Take us by the handDe llevarnos de la mano
Through the sky of lovePor el cielo del amor

He's at a crossroadsEstá en una encrucijada
With his hand raisedCon la mano levantada
Hovering and not leavingVolándose y no se va
With both little wings openAbiertas las dos alitas
He sings 'Las Mañanitas'Le canta a las mañanitas
To the Sun of freedomAl Sol de la libertad

And now as I bid farewellY ahora que me despido
To the golden angel dressedDel ángel de oro vestido
I hope he heard me wellQue me haya escuchado bien
It's what I recommendEs lo que le recomiendo
Because we'll see each other soonPues ya nos estamos viendo
At the threshold of EdenEn el umbral del edén

Come on and do us a favorAndale y haz el favor
Take us by the handDe llevarnos de la mano
