Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Carta A María (A Mi Hija) by José Luis Perales from Spanish to English.
Hoy te escribo esta carta, mi pequeña María
Today I write you this letter, my little María
Yo que tanto te quiero y que todos los días
I, who love you so much and every day
Me acuerdo de ti
I remember you
Yo me acuerdo de ti
I remember you
Hoy te quiero contar, mi pequeña María
Today I want to tell you, my little María
Que he visto un caracol escaleras arriba
That I saw a snail climbing up the stairs
Preguntando por ti
Asking for you
Preguntando por ti
Asking for you
Hoy he visto un pájaro amarillo que cantaba una canción
Today I saw a yellow bird singing a song
Y a una mariposa de colores paseando por el sol
And a colorful butterfly strolling in the sun
Y he visto a una princesa en su castillo
And I saw a princess in her castle
Y a un príncipe feliz cazando grillos
And a happy prince hunting crickets
Y he visto a una muñeca que dormía y era igual que tú
And I saw a doll sleeping and she was just like you
Y he visto a una princesa en su castillo
And I saw a princess in her castle
Y a un príncipe feliz cazando grillos
And a happy prince hunting crickets
Y he visto a una muñeca que dormía y era igual que tú
And I saw a doll sleeping and she was just like you
Hoy te quiero contar, mi pequeña María
Today I want to tell you, my little María
Que subiendo la calle me encontré a Blancanieves
That while walking up the street, I ran into Snow White
Preguntando por ti
Asking for you
Preguntando por ti
Asking for you
Hoy te quiero contar, mi pequeña María
Today I want to tell you, my little María
Que una noche la luna se acercó a mi ventana
That one night the moon came close to my window
Preguntando por ti
Asking for you
Preguntando por ti
Asking for you
Hoy he visto un pájaro amarillo que cantaba una canción
Today I saw a yellow bird singing a song
Y a una mariposa de colores paseando por el sol
And a colorful butterfly strolling in the sun
Y he visto a una princesa en su castillo
And I saw a princess in her castle
Y a un príncipe feliz cazando grillos
And a happy prince hunting crickets
Y he visto a una muñeca que dormía y era igual que tú
And I saw a doll sleeping and she was just like you
Y he visto a una princesa en su castillo
And I saw a princess in her castle
Y a un príncipe feliz cazando grillos
And a happy prince hunting crickets
Y he visto a una muñeca que dormía y era igual que tú
And I saw a doll sleeping and she was just like you
