Rin Del Angelito

Angel's Rhyme

Rin Del Angelito

He's already going to the heavensYa se va para los cielos
That beloved little angelEse querido angelito
To pray for his grandparentsA rogar por sus abuelos
For his parents and siblingsPor sus padres y hermanitos

When one dies in the fleshCuando se muere en la carne
The soul seeks its placeEl alma busca su sitio
Inside a poppyAdentro de una amapola
Or inside a little birdO dentro de un pajarito

The earth is waiting for himLa tierra lo está esperando
With its heart openCon su corazón abierto
That's why the little angelPor eso és que el angelito
Seems to be awakeParece que está despierto

When one dies in the fleshCuando se muere en la carne
The soul seeks its centerEl alma busca su centro
In the brightness of a roseEn el brillo de una rosa
Or a new little fishO de un pececito nuevo

In his little earth cribEn su cunita de tierra
A bell will lull himLo arrullará una campana
While the rain cleansMientras la lluvia le limpia
His face in the morningSu carita en la mañana

When one dies in the fleshCuando se muere en la carne
The soul seeks its targetEl alma busca su diana
In the mystery of the worldEn el misterio del mundo
That has opened its windowQue le ha abierto su ventana

The joyful butterfliesLas mariposas alegres
To see the beautiful little angelDe ver el bello angelito
Around his cradleAlrededor de su cuna
Walk around him slowlyLe caminan despacito

When one dies in the fleshCuando se muere en la carne
The soul goes straightEl alma va derechito
To greet the moonA saludar a la luna
And on the way, the little starY de paso al lucerito

Where did his grace goAdónde se fué su gracia
Where did his sweetness goAdónde se fué su dulzura
Why does his body fallPor qué se cae su cuerpo
Like a ripe fruitComo una fruta madura

When one dies in the fleshCuando se muere en la carne
The soul seeks in the heightsEl alma busca en la altura
The explanation of his lifeLa explicación de su vida
Cut so abruptlyCortada con tal premura
The explanation of his deathLa explicación de su muerte
Imprisoned in a tombPrisionera en una tumba
When one dies in the fleshCuando se muere en la carne
The soul remains darkEl alma se queda oscura
