Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Mi chiquitín, rayito de luna
Mi chiquitín, pedazo de cielo
Mi chiquitín, rayito de luna
Tienes mi sangre y llevas mi nombre
Dios te bendiga chiquito, chiquitín
Tienes mi sangre y llevas mi nombre
Solo te pido cuando seas grande
Cuides mis pasos, mis últimos días
Solo te pido cuando seas grande
Cuides mis pasos, mis últimos días
Como ahora cuido de ti, chiquitingo
Que nada falte en tu existencia
Contra los males, contra la pobreza
Está mi pecho junto con mis brazos
También te ruego, cuando seas hombre
Nunca denigres el nombre que llevas
Tu corazón, tu mente y trabajo
Mi chiquitín, bríndale a la patria
También te ruego, cuando seas hombre
Nunca denigres el nombre que llevas
Tu corazón, tu mente y trabajo
Mi chiquitín, bríndale a la patria
The song "Mi chiquitin" by Antologia talks about the deep love and connection between a father and his son. The father sings to his son "Mi chiquitin, pedazo de cielo" which means "My little one, piece of heaven" and "Mi chiquitin, rayito de luna" which means "My little one, ray of moon". These expressions of love and tenderness depict how much the father adores his son, seeing him as a precious and divine gift.
The father emphasizes the importance of his son carrying his name and blood, and hopes that his son will take care of him in his old age as he raised and took care of him when he was a child. The father prays to God to bless his child, showing how much he values and cherishes his son's presence in his life. As the song goes on, the father asks his son to never denigrate the family name and to work hard and give back to their country.
Overall, "Mi chiquitin" portrays the deep bond between a father and his son, and the hope and love a parent has for their child's present and future.
