Angelito Mexicano
María Elena Walsh
Mexican Little Angel
In Mexico, there's a treasure
A little golden angel
Perched on one foot
When you look up
It's like a living star
That invents the dawn
Seems to ask for permission
From the owner of paradise
For all of humanity
That in this earthly life
Is chained to tears
And seeks eternity
Mexican little angel
Come on and do us a favor
Take us by the hand
Through the sky of love
He's at a crossroads
With his hand raised
Hovering and not leaving
With both little wings open
He sings 'Las Mañanitas'
To the Sun of freedom
And now as I bid farewell
To the golden angel dressed
I hope he heard me well
It's what I recommend
Because we'll see each other soon
At the threshold of Eden
Mexican little angel
Come on and do us a favor
Take us by the hand
Through the sky of love
