Rin Del Angelito Lyrics in English Mercedes Sosa
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Rin Del Angelito by Mercedes Sosa from Spanish to English.
Ya se va para los cielos
He's already going to the skies
Ese querido angelito
That beloved little angel
A rogar por sus abuelos
To pray for his grandparents
Por sus padres y hermanitos
For his parents and siblings
Cuando se muere la carne
When the flesh dies
El alma busca su sitio
The soul seeks 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 him
Con su corazón abierto
With its heart open
Por eso que el angelito
That's why the little angel
Parece que está despierto
Seems to be awake
Cuando se muere la carne
When the flesh dies
El alma busca su centro
The soul seeks its center
En el brillo de una rosa
In the brightness of a rose
O de un pececito nuevo
Or a new little fish
En su cunita de tierra
In his little earth cradle
Lo arrullará una campana
A bell will lull him
Mientras la lluvia le limpia
While the rain cleans
Su carita en la mañana
His face in the morning
Cuando se muere la carne
When the flesh dies
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
That has opened its window to him
Las mariposas alegres
The joyful butterflies
De ver el bello angelito
To see the beautiful little angel
Alrededor de su cuna
Around his cradle
Le caminan despacito
Walk around him slowly
Cuando se muere la carne
When the flesh dies
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, the little star
Adónde se fué su gracia
Where did his grace go
Adónde se fué su dulzura
Where did his sweetness go
Por qué se cae su cuerpo
Why does his body fall
Como una fruta madura
Like a ripe fruit
Cuando se muere la carne
When the flesh dies
El alma busca en la altura
The soul seeks in the heights
La explicación de su vida
The explanation of his life
Cortada con tal premura
Cut so hastily
La explicación de su muerte
The explanation of his death
Prisionera en una tumba
Imprisoned in a tomb
Cuando se muere la carne
When the flesh dies
El alma se queda oscura
The soul remains dark
