Carta para María [English translation]

Today I'm writing you this letter

my little María,

I who love you so much,

and who every day

remember you,

I remember you.

Today I want to tell you

my little María,

that I saw a snail

upstairs,

asking after you,

asking after you.

Today I saw a yellow bird

which was singing a song,

and a colourful butterfly

showing off in the sun.

And I saw a princess in her castle,

and a happy prince hunting crickets,

and I saw a doll who was sleeping

and looked just like you.

I saw a princess in her castle,

and a happy prince hunting crickets,

and I saw a doll who was sleeping

and looked just like you.

Today I want to tell you

my little María,

that going down the street

I met Snow White,

asking after you,

asking after you.

Today I want to tell you

my little María,

that one night the moon

came close to my window,

asking after you,

asking after you.

Today I saw a yellow bird.
