Entonces Me Voy Volando
Violeta Parra
So I'm Flying Away
(Christmas carol theme)
This little white tablecloth
That my mom embroidered
I took it to the Virgin
On Christmas night,
I’ll be jumping over hills
'Cause I'm so damn happy.
On the table, a chick
That’s just starting to grow feathers,
I’ll tie it by the leg
So it doesn’t fly away,
When the little boy gets bigger
They’ll take the chick away.
A little iron pot
I’ll know how to carry
So the Virgin gets some substance
For the early morning light
'Cause in these cases, it’s needed
The pain of motherhood.
This little wool sweater
Will look so good on him
When the evening gets chilly
It’ll keep the baby warm.
So I’m flying away
I can’t be late.
