| Pretty baby
| Bebé bonito
|
| Grew into a lady
| Se convirtió en una dama
|
| The people don’t know what your mama know, they don’t
| La gente no sabe lo que sabe tu mamá, no
|
| Pretty baby
| Bebé bonito
|
| In the light of the dawn
| A la luz del amanecer
|
| A pretty babe was born
| Nació un lindo bebé
|
| Her mother, she had sworn to take good care of her
| Su madre, había jurado cuidarla bien
|
| Every night, Mum would pray
| Cada noche, mamá rezaba
|
| Her life would not be torn
| Su vida no sería desgarrada
|
| Her clothes would not be worn until they dropped off of her
| Su ropa no se usaría hasta que se le cayera.
|
| My child, you dear
| Mi hijo, querida
|
| Don’t have no fear
| No tengas miedo
|
| I’ll shed the tears
| derramaré las lágrimas
|
| Keep your head clear, my pretty baby
| Mantén tu cabeza despejada, mi lindo bebé
