Linda Ronstadt - Tata Dios Lyrics

written by Valeriano Trejo



Pónme mi vestido blanco

Aquel con que nos casamos

El doctor por mas que le ande

Esta muy lejos nuestro rancho



Ya no gastes en remedios

Ya mis fuerzas van mermando

Pónme mi vestido blanco

Tata Dios me esta llamando

Tata Dios...



Todo se queda en silencio

Solo Juan le dice a ella:

Vieras que lindos jilotes

Se estan dando en la ladera

Pero ya no "quiero" nada

Voy a regalar la siembra

Tata Dios asi lo quiere

Y con Tata nadie juega

Tata Dios... Me esta llamando



Father God



Put my white dress on me

The one I wore when we were married

The doctor has far to walk

Because our ranch is so far away



Don't waste your time on remedies

My strength is already leaving me

Put my white dress on me

Father God is calling me



Everything remains still

Only Juan is telling her:

See how pretty the cornstalks

Growing on the hillside

But now I don't want anything

I'm going to give away the seed

Father God wants it this way

And with Father nobody plays

Father God... is calling me
