Inocencia

The house is sad, my neighbor diedLa casa está triste, murió mi vecina
Leaving in the world, full of painDejando en el mundo, llenos de dolor
To my good friend and the poor girlA mi buen amigo y a la pobre nena
Who asked the distressed father like this:Que al padre angustiado así preguntó:.

Daddy, tell me why are there so many people?Papito, decime ¿por qué hay tanta gente?
Why is everyone crying? You also cry¿Por qué lloran todos? Vos tambéen llorás
Why are there so many flowers on the table?¿Por qué hay tantas flores, arriba 'e la mesa?
Where is the calm? Where is mom?¿Donde está la calma? ¿donde está mamá?.

Look, how many candles the men putMirá, cuantas velas pusieron los hombres
What's up there? I want to see...¿Qué hay allí arriba? Yo quiero mirar...
It's my mommy, call her daddyEs mi mamita, llamala papito
Tell her to come play with me..Decile que venga conmigo a jugar..

Dearest mommy, I'm very sleepy¡Mamita querida, tengo mucho sueño
Pick me up in your arms, I want to sleep!Alzame en tus brazos, que quiero dormir!
Call her, daddy, she doesn't hear me!¡Llamala, papito, a mi no me siente!
Dearest mommy, why don't you come?¿Mamita querida, porque no venís?.

The poor innocent one, doesn't know about sorrowsLa pobre inocente, no sabe de penas
Doesn't know about the anguish of that sad homeNo sabe de angustia de aquel triste hogar,
She doesn't understand that her good motherElla no comprende que su madre buena
Is leaving this world and won't come back.Se va de este mundo y no vuelve más.

And the night came and there were many peopleY llegó la noche y hubo mucha gente.
The girl got tired of crying so muchSe cansó la nena de tanto llorar,
She fell asleep in the arms of her beloved dadSe durmió en los brazos del papá querido
While her mommy rested in peace.Mientras su mamita descansaba en paz.
