Translation of the song lyrics Dos Arbolitos (Two Little Trees) - Linda Ronstadt

Dos Arbolitos (Two Little Trees) (original)

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.

(translation)

Two little trees have been born in my ranch,
Two little trees that look like twins,
And from my little house I see them alone
Under the holy protection and the light of heaven.
They are never apart from each other
Because that is how God wanted both of them to be born,
And with its same branches caresses are made
As if they were boyfriends who loved each other.
Little tree, little tree, under your shadow
I will wait for the tired day to die,
And when I'm alone looking at the sky
I ask that you send me a partner.
Little tree, little tree, I feel alone
I want you to be with me until she dies.
