La Pobre Mía

She woke up crying
my poor one
they took her mother
while she was sleeping
while my girl was sleeping
that night
that night

Her last breaths
carry your name
carry my name
she was leaving me
she left me

You were left without a mother
I was left without a woman
the one I loved so much
the one I loved so much

She left your mouth without a chest
on the bed that I watered
with the coward tears
of the one who doesn't know what to do
and lullaby...my little daughter
lullaby...sleep

She woke up crying
my poor one
her eyes closed
she was dying
she was dying my girl
saying mama
saying mama

If you don't come down from heaven
let her go
let her go
she was leaving me
she left me

You were left without a mother
I was left without a woman
the one I loved so much
the one I loved so much

She left your mouth without a chest
on the bed that I watered
with the coward tears
of the one who doesn't know what to do
and lullaby...my little daughter
lullaby...sleep.
