Mi Niño
Myriam Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Mi corazón te canta
Ésta canción mi niño
Para arrullar tu sueño
Ahora que estás dormido.

¿Te acuerdas del ayer?
Ay cómo reímos
Con ella a tu lado,

Siempre contigo.

Tú siempre tan feliz
Dando amor y cariño
Buen hijo, buen hermano
Buen amigo...

Cómo dolió el que te hayas ido
Cómo dolió el no despedirnos
Cómo me duele la impotencia
De querer calmar el llanto por tu ausencia.

Ah...

Desde que tú te fuiste
Jamás volvió a ser aquélla
Y muerta en vida estaba
Por la pena.

Ella buscaba siempre
Cómo estar contigo
Hasta que se encontró
Con tu camino.

Cómo dolió el que te hayas ido
Cómo dolió el no despedirnos
Cómo me duele la impotencia
De querer calmar el llanto por tu ausencia.

Ahora que estás con ella
Y junto a Dios, mi vida

Sé que eres muy feliz
Y eso me alivia...

Overall Meaning

The song "Mi Niño" by Myriam is a touching tribute to a loved one who has passed away. The lyrics are filled with emotion and memories of the person who is no longer with the singer. The first verse begins with the singer's heart singing a lullaby to the child, now that he is finally asleep. The second verse asks if the child remembers the times they laughed together with someone who was always by their side. The child is remembered as always being happy, giving love and kindness, a good son, brother, and friend.

The chorus talks about the pain of the child's death and the singer's inability to say goodbye. It speaks of the impotence felt in wanting to soothe the tears caused by the child's absence. The bridge talks about the impact that the child's death had on someone else, possibly the child's mother or a close family member. It speaks of how her spirit was dead because of her sorrow and how she tried to find ways to always be near the child until she met him again on the other side.

Overall, the song is a heartfelt dedication to someone who has passed away before their time. It speaks to the pain felt by those left behind and the hope that the departed is now at peace.
