A poem in memory of Carlos Ramirez by Jorge Argueta
CARLITOS
En memoria de mi buen amigo Carlos Ramirez
Quien falleció el domingo 10 de Marzo, 2013
Allá viene Carlitos Ramirez
Por la calle 24
Viene volando
Viene cantando
Allá viene Carlitos con nubes
En las mejias
Con nubes
En la cabeza
Allá viene Carlitos
Alegre como los pájaros
Hermoso como las flores
Ayyyy que niño tan bonito y tan travieso
Allá viene Carlitos
Cantando el a b c
Cantando de colores
Cantando cielito lindo
Allá viene Carlitos
Maestro de todos los niños y las niñas
Cipitio* de los salvadoreños
Que están lejos de El Salvador
Allá viene Carlitos
Recitando su poesía
Y todos las escuchamos
En el viento
Ayer se fué Carlitos
Se fue con sus amigos los pájaros
Ahora hay fiesta en las montañas y jardines
Carlitos se ha vuelto primavera
*Personaje de la mitología salvadoreña
CARLITOS
In memory of my good friend Carlos Ramirez
Who passed away on March 10, 2013
Here Come Carlitos Ramirez
Around 24 street
He comes flying
He comes singing
Here come Carlitos
With clouds
on his cheeks
Clouds on his head
Here come Carlitos
Happy like the birds
Wonderful like the flowers
Ayyyy such a cute and mischievous boy
Here come Carlitos
Singing the A B C
Singing De Colores
Singing Cielito Lindo
Here come Carlitos
A teacher to all boys and girls
Cipitio* to the Salvadorans
Far from El Salvador
Here come Carlitos
Reciting his poetry
We can hear it
In the wind
Carlitos Ramirez left us yesterday
He went away with his friends the birds
Now there is a celebration in the mountains and gardens
Carlitos has turned into spring
*A character from Salvadoran mythology
