Para mi angelito

I want to scream to the world the suffering I have in my heart
The smile was erased from my face
When I held that long-awaited being in my arms
Lifeless with closed eyes and lips
That seemed to tell me
Don't cry mommy, I will be with God
I will play with the angels in heaven
Don't cry daddy, I will be with God
I will play with the angels in heaven
With my hands I laid his little body on the ground
And in the mountains of Santiago my baby rests
With my desperate cry I threw a handful of earth
And at that moment I found a new star in the sky

I asked God why
He took that long-awaited being with him
Months living in his mother's womb
With a thousand hopes, I wanted to see him grow
Why did you take him, God
If I wanted to see him grow in my arms
Don't cry mommy, I will be with God
I will play with the angels in heaven
Don't cry daddy, I will be with God
I will play with the angels in heaven
With my hands I laid his little body on the ground
And in the mountains of Santiago my baby rests
With my desperate cry I threw a handful of earth
And at that moment I found a new star in the sky
