Chiquitita

Little girlChiquitita
My little one my precious girlMi pequeña mi niña preciosa
When did you become a woman?Cuando fue que te convertiste en mujer
If only yesterday I carried youSi apenas ayer te cargaba
And today look at your eyes so sweetY hoy mira tus ojos tan dulces
My eternal babyMi eterna bebe

May neither fear nor anyone turn you offQue ni el miedo ni nadie te apague
There is no doubtNi exista la duda
You were born to be very greatTú naciste para ser muy grande
You are a starEres una estrella
I still remember when you were littleAún recuerdo cuando eras pequeña
And you sang naivelyY cantabas ingenua
Oh girlAy niña

Little girl, today is your 15th birthdayChiquita hoy son tus 15 años
I just ask God to take care of youSolo pido a Dios que a ti cuide
And may you never forgetY que nunca tú olvides
From your beloved parents and don't leave yetDe tus padres queridos y que aún no te vayas
So soon from homeTan pronto de casa
wait to growEspera a crecer

Oh how lucky you are my daughterAy que suerte que seas mi hija
You know well that I will be at your sideTu bien sabes que a tu lado estaré
In good times and bad timesEn los buenos y en los malos ratos
You will count on my hand and my lifeContarás con mi mano y mi vida
For you I will givePor ti yo daré

May neither fear nor anyone turn you offQue ni el miedo ni nadie te apague
There is no doubtNi exista la duda
You were born to be very greatTú naciste para ser muy grande
You are a starEres una estrella
I still remember when you were littleAún recuerdo cuando eras pequeña
And you sang naivelyY cantabas ingenua
Oh girlAy niña

Little girl, today is your 15th birthdayChiquita hoy son tus 15 años

And may you never forgetY que nunca tú olvides
From your beloved parents and don't leave yetDe tus padres queridos y que aún no te vayas
