Sing Little Girl / Canta Muchachita

By Marilena López

English

Sing, little girl,
with your child’s voice,
the birds sing
their best notes
upon hearing your song,
and the willow branches softly sway
back and forth, slowly.

Sing, my child,
the song that you want,
upon hearing your song,
the world becomes more beautiful.

Spanish

Canta, muchachita,
con tu voz de niña,
que al oír tu canto
entonan los pájaros
sus mejores trinos,
y el sauce se mece
cadenciosamente.

Canta, niña mía,
la canción que quieras,
que al oír tu canto
se embellece el mundo
