Inocencia

The house is sad, my neighbor died
Leaving in the world, full of pain
To my good friend and the poor girl
Who asked the distressed father like this:

Daddy, tell me why are there so many people?
Why is everyone crying? You also cry
Why are there so many flowers on the table?
Where is the calm? Where is mom?

Look, how many candles the men put
What's up there? I want to see...
It's my mommy, call her daddy
Tell her to come play with me..

Dearest mommy, I'm very sleepy
Pick me up in your arms, I want to sleep!
Call her, daddy, she doesn't hear me!
Dearest mommy, why don't you come?

The poor innocent one, doesn't know about sorrows
Doesn't know about the anguish of that sad home
She doesn't understand that her good mother
Is leaving this world and won't come back.

And the night came and there were many people
The girl got tired of crying so much
She fell asleep in the arms of her beloved dad
While her mommy rested in peace.
