Cuando Muere El Angelito
Mercedes Sosa
When the Little Angel Dies
Ay, ay, ay, ayayaitay...
the violin releases its little cry
wants to help me forget
the death of the little angel
Look if he was tiny
without a single sin
that Tata God has taken him
will be to see him alone
Even the kakuy of silence
sorrowfully fled from the branches
when the soul's coffin
echoed along the path
Ay, ay, ay, ayayaitay
the violin releases its little cry
wants to help me forget
the death of the little angel
When the little angel dies
ay, ay, ay, ayayaitay...
they sing praises to him
will be for his blessed soul
The candles of the cardones
light up their white little eyes
bluing in the wings
that God gave to the poor little one
And a beautiful white horse
is taking him to the huahuita
where the mourning dances were prayed
for the girl Telesita.
