“Ãngel de la guarda”
Cuando más triste y solo me sentÃa
Queriendo llorar en el salón
La niña sentada al lado mÃo
De pronto la mano me tomó
Y con los ojos más negros y tristes
Que he visto jamás
Me dijo sin palabras
“No te apures, no estás solo”
“Guardian Angel”
When I felt so sad and all alone
Wanting to cry in the classroom
The girl sitting next to me
Suddenly held my hand
And with the darkest and most tender eyes
I’ve ever seen
Told me without a word
“Don’t worry, you are not alone.”
