LA CANCION DE LOS ANGELITOS


WHEN ROSARITA WAS A LITTLE GIRL
SHE?D STAND IN THE SHANTY DOOR TO WATCH THE RAIN
HER MAMA KNELT BESIDE HER AND SANG A SOFT REFRAIN
ES LA CANCION DE LOS ANGELITOS

STANDING AT HER MAMA?S FRESH DUG GRAVE
ROSARITA KNELT AND LIFTED UP HER BOY
HEAR THE BIRDS, PABLITO, THEY SING YOUR GRANDMA?S JOY
ES LA CANCION DE LOS ANGELITOS

| ALL HER LIFE SHE HEARD THE LITTLE ANGELS SING THEIR SONG
| SHE FOUND PEACE FAR BEYOND HER YEARS
| THEY GATHERED ?ROUND TO COMFORT HER WHEN LIFE SEEMED TO GO WRONG
| LITTLE ANGELS SANG AWAY HER FEARS
| JOY WOULD COME AND THEN WOULD GO
| LIKE VERSES IN A SONG
| ES LA CANCION DE LOS ANGELITOS

THE GRAY DAY WHEN YOUNG PABLO SAID GOODBY
ROSARITA WAVED AND BRUSHED AWAY HER TEARS
SHE HEARD A MOURNFUL MELODY THAT ONLY HEARTS CAN HEAR
ES LA CANCION DE LOS ANGELITOS

CHORUS

ROSARITA LAY DYING ON HER BED
PABLO PULLED HIS CHAIR UP TO BE NEAR
TELL ME NOW, DEAR MAMA, WHAT?S THAT SOUND I HEAR?
ES LA CANCION DE LOS ANGELITOS
