Mother, There's a Child at the Door
Mother, there's a Child at the door,
more beautiful than the sun,
it seems like he's cold,
because he's half-naked,
it seems like he's cold,
because he's half-naked.
Tell him to come in
and he'll warm up,
because in this land
because in this land
there's no longer charity.
The Child entered and sat down,
made himself warm,
the landlady asks him:
From what land and what homeland?,
the landlady asks him:
From what land and what homeland?
My Mother is from heaven,
my Father too,
I came down to Earth
I came down to Earth
to suffer.
Child, if you want to have dinner,
it will be done quickly,
and you will stay at home,
as a very esteemed son,
and you will stay at home,
as a very esteemed son.
And the Child replies:
No, ma'am,
I have a Mother
I have a Mother
who is adored in Heaven.
While the Child was having dinner,
the tears fell from him.
Tell me, Child: why are you crying?
Because I have lost my Mother.
Tell me, Child: why are you crying?
Because I have lost my Mother.
If you were to tell me
where I could find her,
I would be on my knees
I would be on my knees
until I found her.
Make the bed for this Child,
with care and with love.
Don't make it for me, ma'am,
because my bed is a corner.
Don't make it for me, ma'am,
because my bed is a corner.
My bed is the ground,
since I was born,
and until I die
and until I die
it will be like this.
The next morning
the Child got up
and told the landlady
to stay with God,
and told the landlady
to stay with God.
That he was going to the temple,
that that was his home,
where we will all go
where we will all go
to give thanks.
The next day
the Child was at the door,
with two sacks of wheat
and a peseta in his hand,
with two sacks of wheat
and a peseta in his hand,
saying: Ma'am,
take the payment
that I made last night
that I made last night
in the early morning.
