She's got big green eyes
And a long Egyptian face
She moves across the floor
At her own pace
When I'm here in bed
She'll jump up on my chest
And when we lock eyes
there's so much love I wanna cry

She comes in near
When I scratch under her ear
And she lifts her head
When I kiss around her neck

We'll go to sleep
When she falls along my side
And two green eyes fade
To a porcelain marble white
And somehow in our sleep
She'll end up at my feet
And if I roll and kick around
I might knock her to the ground
But she'll come back anyhow

Ella es mi hijita
Más dulce que cerezas
Pura como el agua
Nariz y orejas rosas

[TRANSLATION:
She's my little daughter
Sweeter than cherries
Pure as water
Pink nose and ears]

The morning comes
She squints up to shield out the sun
And she'll go and lay
In its warmest dusty rays
I adore her face
She'll lay perfectly in place
And she'll yawn and stretch
And stare me down expressionless
And lay back down into her nest

And if someone calls
She'll race me out the hall
When she hears the phone
Then she knows I'm leaving home
She don't wanna be alone

And I know it's wrong
That I'm gone away so long
And for her it's rough
I can't be with her enough
But I'll never give her up

Ojos brillan como el sol
La amo más que nadie
Con manchas de una vaca
Más suave que conchinita

[TRANSLATION:
Eyes shine like the sun
I love her more than anything
With cow pattern skin
Softer than a little piglet]

And somehow in our sleep
She'll end up at my feet
And if I roll and kick around
I might knock her to the ground
But she'll come back anyhow
