Dos Arbolitos

(album: Canciones De Mi Padre - 1987)

[Spanish:]

Han nacido en mi rancho dos arbolitos
Dos arbolitos que paracen gemelos
Y desde mi casita los veo solitos
Bajo el amparo santo y la luz del cielo

Nunca estan separados uno del otro
Porque asi quiso Dios que los dos nacieran
Y con sus mismas ramas se hacen caricias
Como si fueran novios que se quisieran

Arbolito, arbolito, bajo tu sombra
Voy a esparar que el dia cansado muera
Y cuando estoy solito mirando al cielo
Pido pa' que me mande una companera

Arbolito, arbolito, me siento solo
Quiero que me acompanes hasta que muera

[English translation: Two Little Trees]

Two little trees have been born on my ranch
Two little trees that look like twins
And from my house I see them all alone
Under the holy protection and light from the heavens

They are never separated, one form the other
Because that is how God wanted for the two of them to be born
And with their own brances they caress each other
As if they were sweethearts who loved each other

Little tree, little tree, under your shade
I'm going to wait until the end of this tiring day
And when I'm all alone looking to the sky
I'm going to ask Heaven to send me a companion

Little tree, little tree I feel alone
I want you to accompany me until I die
