Dos Arbolitos (Two Little Trees) - Linda Ronstadt

Han nacido en mi rancho dos arbolitos,

Dos arbolitos que paracen gemelos,

Y desde mi casita los veo solitos

Bajo el amparo santo y la luz del cielo.

Nunca estЎn separados uno del otro

Porque as­ quiso Dios que los dos nacieran,

Y con sus mismas ramas se hacen caricias

Como si fueran novios que se quisieran.

Arbolito, arbolito, bajo tu sombra

Voy a esparar que el d­a cansado muera,

Y cuando estoy solito mirando al cielo

Pido pa’que me mande una compañera.

Arbolito, arbolito, me siento solo

Quiero que me acompañes hasta que muera.

My father loves this song so much he once offered my brother Mike $ 50 to learn to sing it.

I’m afraid I beat him

to it but I haven’t received a dime.

In view of the circumstances, the only

proper thing to do was invite him and

my brother Pete to sing the trio with

me.

They got scale.

It was written by Chucho Martinez Gil and made popular by Pedro Infante in the late 1930's or early 1940's.

Two Little Trees

Two little trees have been born

on my ranch

Two little trees that look like twins

And from my house I see them all alone

Under the holy protection and light

from the heavens.

They are never separated,

one form the other

Because that is how God wanted

for the two of them to be born,

And with their own brances

they caress each other

As if they were sweethearts

who loved each other.

Little tree, little tree,

under your shade

I’m going to wait until

the end of this tiring day,

And when I’m all alone

looking to the sky

I’m going to ask Heaven

to send me a companion.

Little tree, little tree

I feel alone

I want you to accompany me until I die.
