Han nacido en mi rancho dos arbolitos,
Two little trees have been born on my ranch,
Dos arbolitos que parecen gemelos,
Two little trees that look like twins,
Y desde mi casita los veo solitos
And from my little house I see them alone,
Bajo el amparo santo y la luz del cielo.
Under the holy protection and the light of the heavens.
Nunca están separados uno del otro
They are never separated one from the other
Porque asà quiso Dios que los dos nacieran,
Because God wanted the two born that way,
Y con sus mismas ramas se hacen caricias
And with their very branches they caress each other
Como si fueran novios que se quisieran.
As if they were bride and groom that loved each other.
Arbolito, arbolito, bajo tu sombra
Little tree, little tree, under your shade
Voy a esparar que el dÃa cansado muera,
I am going to wait for the day when I die, tired
Y cuando estoy solito mirando al cielo
And when I am all alone looking at the sky,
Pido pa' que me mande una compañera.
I ask you to send me a companion.
Arbolito, arbolito, me siento solo
Little tree, little tree, I feel lonely
Quiero que me acompañes hasta que muera.
I want you to keep me company until I die.
