Mi Chiquitín

My little one, piece of heaven
My little one, moonbeam.

You have my blood and carry my name
God bless you, little one, my little one.

I only ask you when you grow up
Take care of my steps, my last days.

Like I care for you, little one
May nothing be missing in your existence
Against the evils, against poverty
Here is my chest along with my arms.

I also beg you when you are a man
Never degrade the name you carry
Your heart, your mind, and work
My little one, give them to the country.
