Tata Dios [English translation]

Put my white dress on me,

the one I wore on our wedding

no matter how fast the doctor walks

he’s so far from our ranch…

Don’t waste anymore on medicines,

my strength is already lessening...

Put my white dress on me,

Father God is calling me...

Father God, Father God, Father God…

Everything is drowning in silence,

only Juan says to her:

“If you saw that pretty ears of maize

that grow on the hill…”.

But I don’t want anything,

I will give away this land.

That’s what Father God wanted

and with God no one can argue.
