Ya se va para los cielos
It's going to heaven
Ese querido angelito
that dear little angel
A rogar por sus abuelos
to pray for their grandparents
Por sus padres y hermanitos
For their parents and siblings
Cuando se muere en la carne
When he dies in the flesh
El alma busca su sitio
The soul finds its place
Adentro de una amapola
inside a poppy
O dentro de un pajarito
Or inside a little bird
La tierra lo está esperando
The earth is waiting for you
Con su corazón abierto
with your heart open
Por eso es que el angelito
That's why the little angel
Parece que está despierto
It seems that he is awake
Cuando se muere en la carne
When he dies in the flesh
El alma busca su centro
The soul seeks its center
En el brillo de una rosa
In the glow of a rose
O de un pececito nuevo
Or a new little fish
En una cuna de tierra
In a cradle of earth
Lo arrullará una campana
A bell will lull you to sleep
Mientras la lluvia le limpia
while the rain washes away
Su carita en la mañana
His face in the morning
Cuando se muere en la carne
When he dies in the flesh
El alma busca su diana
The soul seeks its target
En el misterio del mundo
In the mystery of the world
Que le ha abierto su ventana
Who has opened his window
Las mariposas alegres
the happy butterflies
De ver el bello angelito
To see the beautiful little angel
Alrededor de su cuna
around his crib
Le caminan despacito
they walk slowly
Cuando se muere en la carne
When he dies in the flesh
El alma va derechito
the soul goes straight
A saludar a la luna
to greet the moon
Y de paso al lucerito
And on the way to the little light
Adónde se fue su gracia
where did his grace go
Adónde se fue su dulzura
Where did your sweetness go?
Por qué se cae su cuerpo
why does his body fall
Como una fruta madura
like a ripe fruit
Cuando se muere en la carne
When he dies in the flesh
El alma busca en la altura
The soul searches in the height
La explicación de su vida
The explanation of his life
Cortada con tal premura
cut with such haste
La explicación de su muerte
The explanation of his death
Prisionera en una tumba
prisoner in a tomb
Cuando se muere en la carne
When he dies in the flesh
El alma se queda oscura
the soul stays dark
