lyrics
Con un vasito de agua y la vela vamos a resolver
Con un vasito de agua y la vela vamos a resolver
Yo se lo digo comadre que pronto va a llover
Yo se lo digo comadre que pronto va a llover
Mi padrino siempre dice, ponle roncito a tu santo
Mi padrino siempre dice, ponle roncito a tu santo
Agua fresca pa’ tus muertos, cantales bonito con luz y con fe
Agua fresca pa’ tus muertos, cantales bonito con luz y con fe
Si no sabes a donde ir, si no sabes que camino elegir
Si no te llega nada a casa y te da vueltas la cabeza
Prende una vela compadre que vamos a resolver
Pon la ayudita de dios compadre, sí, vamos a resolver
Mi padrino siempre dice, no hay mal que por bien no venga
Mi padrino siempre dice, no hay mal que por bien no venga
No le culpes a la vida el sol llega después de la lluvia
No le culpes a la vida el sol llega después de la lluvia
No hay penas que no se alejen, no hay dolores que duren y duren
No hay heridas que no curen, no hay camino que al cielo no lleve
Límpiate con fruta fresca, con nopal y con flores blancas
Prende una vela y canta con fe y veras como cambia tu suerte
Si va a llover que llueva…
Dice mi tío que le pide a su santo
Pa’ que le ayude a resolver un asunto
Le brinda flores, tabaco, lo que puede
Pero no le canta y por eso no resuelve
Cántale a tu santo, cántale a tus muertos
Prende una vela, de agua un vasito
No hay mas na’, tu sabes que la lluvia
Limpia el mundo de la noche a la mañana

Translation:
With a glass of water and a candle we will settle it
With a glass of water and a candle we will settle it
I tell you my friend that soon it will rain
I tell you my friend that soon it will rain
My father always tells me, put a little rum on your Saint
My father always tells me, put a little rum on your Saint
Fresh water for your deceased, sing beautifully to them with light and faith
Fresh water for your deceased, sing beautifully to them with light and faith
If you don’t know where to go, if you don’t know which path to choose
If nothing comes to you at home and your head is spinning
Take a candle my friend, that will settle it
Get the help of the Lord, my friend, yes, that will settle it
My godfather always tells me, every cloud has a silver living
My godfather always tells me, every cloud has a silver living
Don’t blame him, in life the sun always comes after the rain
Don’t blame him, in life the sun always comes after the rain
There are no problems that are not relieved, no pains that last and last
No wounds that do not heal, there is no path that does not lead to heaven
Wash yourself with fresh fruit, with cactus leaf and white flowers
Light a candle and sing with faith and you’ll see how your luck will change
If it is going to rain, let it rain…
My uncle says he asks his Saint
To help him resolve something
He brings it flowers, tobacco, what he can
But he doesn’t sing to it, which is why it isn’t solved
Sing to your Saint, sing to your deceased
Light a candle, a little glass of water
No more than that, you know that the rain
Cleans the world at night and in the morning
