Little poor Pepita from Mexico
She had no money to sacrifice The Son of God
Picking flowers while wandering slow
Some poinsettias with their leaves as red
A different offer than the local population with their money to give
She still was bringing them to The House of God
Asking for salvation and to honor instead
The rich people asked themselves why?
But Pepita did not pay attention to them
Her thoughts and believe in the magic of love did lead her
And let her build castles in the sky
