Ay Mi Hermanita

Oh My Little Sister

Ay Mi Hermanita

I come from distant lands crossing the rough seaVengo de tierras lejanas cruzando la mar bravía
To respond to the name of his vague braveryPara responder al nombre de su vaga valentía
And speaking face to face, make him understand wellY hablándole cara a cara, hacerle bien comprender
That the one who tries to force a woman is a cowardQue es cobarde el que pretende a la fuerza a una mujer

Therefore, he must knowPor lo tanto, ha de saber
That the man who takes her awayQue el hombre que se la lleve
Will be judged by his actionsSe vestirá por los pies

Oh little sister! Don't be afraid¡Ay hermanita! No tengas miedo
For the lion is not as strong and fierceQue el león no resulta tan fuerte y fiero
Oh little sister! Great is your luck¡Ay hermanita! Grande es tu suerte
For you have a brother to defend youQue tienes un hermano pa' defenderte
