Dos Regalos
Barrio Obrero de Cabimas
Two Gifts
Falling like flowers, the stars come your way
They come to give you a hug and pay their respects
Mother, you who have none, yet offer so much comfort
See in the window of heaven her face peeking at God
Today I want to hold you closer so I can sing to you
And I want to give you two gifts of great fortune
Allow me to see you so I can give you this offering
My life to love you and my soul to adore you
Today I want to hold you closer so I can sing to you
And I want to give you two gifts of great fortune
Allow me to see you so I can give you this offering
My life to love you and my soul to adore you
I don’t know what mystery it holds, and even if you judge me
The Virgin Chiquinquirá is happy when she sees me
My pleas and my cravings I entrust to you, virgin
While I fixate on your eyes, see how mine are crying
Today I want to hold you closer so I can sing to you
And I want to give you two gifts of great fortune
Allow me to see you so I can give you this offering
My life to love you and my soul to adore you
Today I want to hold you closer so I can sing to you
And I want to give you two gifts of great fortune
Allow me to see you so I can give you this offering
My life to love you and my soul to adore you
I felt jealousy from God because He made me proud
He paints you with envy, but He’s never jealous
He must feel prosperous if the jealousy I have
Was He placed the Catatumbo to be your bodyguard
Today I want to hold you closer so I can sing to you
And I want to give you two gifts of great fortune
Allow me to see you so I can give you this offering
My life to love you and my soul to adore you
Today I want to hold you closer so I can sing to you
And I want to give you two gifts of great fortune
Allow me to see you so I can give you this offering
My life to love you and my soul to adore you
This restlessness won’t calm, oh queen of the gaiteros
For to say I love you, if you want, I’ll show you my soul
If you’ll be the mother of God, there’s no trouble for my soul
I give half to you and the other half to mine
Today I want to hold you closer so I can sing to you
And I want to give you two gifts of great fortune
Allow me to see you so I can give you this offering
My life to love you and my soul to adore you
Today I want to hold you closer so I can sing to you
And I want to give you two gifts of great fortune
Allow me to see you so I can give you this offering
My life to love you and my soul to adore you
