La Niña - Lila Downs, Rodrigo Duarte

Desde temprano la niña reza

Pa’que su dia, no sea tan largo

Y con la luz de madrugada

Hace limpieza de sus encargos

Cierra los ojos pa’no mirarse

En el espejo se va notando

Su trabajo la esta acabando

Esque su santo esta en descanzo

Todos los dias todas las horas

En esa espuma de sus triztesas

Uñas y carne, sudor y fuerzas

Todo su empeño, todos sus sueños

Se van quedando en sus recuerdos

En la memoria de sus ahnelos

Hay melena negra carita triste rosa maria

Buscando vives tus dias y noches una salida

Que un domingo libra este infierno tuyo por tu alegria

Maquiladora solo un recuerdo sera algun dia

Y la cosecha tu propio fruto sera algun dia

Y a la desaparecida le haran justicia

Se hara algun dia

Un dia, un dia…

Hay melena negra carita triste rosa maria

Buscando vives tus dias y noches una salida

Que un domingo libra este infierno tuyo por tu alegria

Que redimidos sean tus patrones, sera algun dia

Y que la humildad se vuelva orgullo sera algun dia

Y que seas igual a los demas sera algun dia

Sera algun dia

Un dia, un dia…

From early the girl prays

So that her day is not so long

And with the light of dawn

She cleans her errands

She closes her eyes to not look at herself

In the mirror she notices herself

Her work is finishing her

It is that her saint of hers is at rest

every day every hour

In that foam of their sadness

Nails and flesh, sweat and strength

All his efforts of her, all his dreams

They stay in your memories

In memory of his wishes

There is black hair, sad face, Rosa Maria

Searching you live your days and nights a way out

That one Sunday free this hell of yours for your joy

Maquiladora only a memory will be one day

And the harvest your own fruit will be one day

And they will do justice to the disappeared

It will be done some day

One day, one day...

There is black hair, sad face, Rosa Maria

Searching you live your days and nights a way out

That one Sunday free this hell of yours for your joy

May your bosses be redeemed, it will be one day

And that humility becomes pride will be one day

And that you are the same as others will be one day

It will be some day

One day, one day...
