La Velita

I was just a victim of Cupid
A whim of Christian redemption
And it's that since I saw you
The miracle happened
Immaculate girl, I want you to give me your heart

I draw you in the candid stained glass windows
I see your face and a prayer comes to mind
For some time now
I am Catholic and very faithful
I light a candle to my saints every evening

I have a little candle, inside my heart
So that the saints grant me your love
I have a burning candle of love
With the flame burning, the air of your passion

I carry you in my mind like a blessing
Like the crucifix of my protection
And it's that since I saw you
I tell you in confession
That it's a sacrament required by my religion

I can't help but pray for our union
I hear you in the psalms and in any sermon
I don't know how I'm going to do it but I continue with my faith
I know that one of these days, the mountain will move

I pray to Saint Anthony
To keep away all the boyfriends
And I implore Saint Michael
That you come to love me
I beg to Saint Rita
To steal a smile from you
Oh, I've prayed to the little Chinese lady
And I light a candle for her

I have a little candle, inside my heart
So that the saints grant me your love
I have a burning candle of love
With the flame burning, the air of your passion
