El Escapulario
Roberto Roena
The Scapular
It was never known who was his mother,
Because the ungrateful one abandoned him
An old lady saw him on the street
And with affection she picked him up.
Only a scapular
The kid carries to the capital
Hung around his neck like a shroud
To protect him from all evil.
And waiting for the old lady
To her child, to her child she embraced
And kissing his little hands
She sang to his ear.
(chorus)
I want my scapular
Never, never to leave you,
Guard it like a shroud
That I give you when I die.
Pray for me, pray for me
Every single day
To the Virgin of the Rosary
Only wanted you in life
Only wanted you in life
Who gave you the scapular.
Lalalolelolela
Lalalola, lalola lalola lalola.
As time passed he became a great bullfighter
And a marchioness gave him her love.
And upon finding out he was a commoner
With great disdain she abandoned him.
And on an afternoon when he was bullfighting
In a moment of carelessness he saw the girl
And as he was distracted while looking
He fell in the sand of a horn.
And a cry of agony
In the arena, in the arena was heard
And the kid as he was dying
He heard this song.
(chorus)
I want my scapular
Never, never to leave you,
Guard it like a shroud
That I give you when I die.
Pray for me, pray for me
Every single day
To the Virgin of the Rosary
Only wanted you in life
Only wanted you in life
Who gave you the scapular.
Pray for me, pray
Every single day
To the Virgin of the Rosary
Only wanted you in life
Only wanted you in life
Who gave you the scapular.
Who gave you the scapular.
It was the Virgin of the Rosary
Who gave you the scapular
Listen I want I want my scapular
Who gave you the scapular
Come here now Rosario
Who gave you the scapular
It was the Virgin it was the Virgin of the Rosary
Who gave you the scapular
Scapular, scapular, scapular
Who gave you the scapular
Who gave you
Who gave you
Who gave you
Scapular
It was never known who was his mother.
