Lyrics
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…
Lyrics translation
From an early age the girl prays
make your day, don't be so long,
and with the dawn light,
does cleaning of your orders
Close your eyes pano look at yourself
in the mirror you'll notice
his work is finishing.
esque your saint is at rest
every day every hour
in that foam of his triztesas
nails and flesh, sweat and strength,
all his efforts, all his dreams
they're staying in their memories
in the memory of their ahnelos
there is black mane sad face rosa maria
looking for you live your days and nights a way out
may one Sunday pound this hell of yours for your joy
maquiladora only a memory will be someday
and the harvest your own fruit will be someday
and the missing one will get justice
it will be some day
one day, one day…
there is black mane sad face rosa maria
looking for you live your days and nights a way out
may one Sunday pound this hell of yours for your joy
may your patterns be redeemed, someday
and that humility becomes pride will someday
and that you're the same as the others will be one day
will it be some day
one day, one day…
