¡Viva viernes! (Long live Friday! In other words, TGIF!)
La fecha es el primero (1st) de diciembre del año dos mil veintitrés. (The date is December 1, 2023.)
Sos un ángel (You’re an angel) is a classic Honduran folkloric song. I am sharing the popular version sung by Voces de Sula. Their version does not include all of the original lyrics, which include parts that are sung separately by the female and male dancers.
“Yo te quiero y te ensalzo bien mío” (I want you and I extol you well, my one).
“Tus ojitos me han robado el alma” (Your little eyes have stolen my soul).
“Me has quitado hasta la última calma” (You have taken away the last calm from me).
“Yo no sé si será la ilusión” (I don’t know if it’s from excitement).
“Tus ojitos llorar no sabían” (Your little eyes didn’t know how to cry).
“Y ahora lloran con tanta amargura, el llorar les parece locura” (And now they cry with so much bitterness, crying seems like madness to them).
“Llora, llora con ciega pasión” (Cry, cry with blind passion).
“Sos un ángel, sos una estrella” (You’re an angel, you’re a star).
“Sos un ángel, sos una rosa” (You’re an angel, you’re a rose).
“Yo te pido la mano pa’ esposa en que sea en el último adiós.” (I am asking your hand in marriage in what may be the last goodbye).
¡Cantemos y bailemos! (Let’s sing and dance!) You can sing along to la letra (the lyrics).
¡Que tengas un viernes visualizado! (May you have a visualized Friday!)
