about
As told in Spanish, never let someone else tell you that you are not already great. A conversation between a young girl and her mother, after the girl endures bumper stickers, signs, and hats, that suggest the woes of America are hers to bear.
lyrics
Tu eres lo más Preciado
Maria vive con su familia en San Bernardino.
Cada día camina a la escuela.
Maria tiene ocho años.
Ella aprende y juega todo el día, y al final recoge sus libros y dice adiós a sus profesores y dice adiós a sus amigos.
Por el camino, de vuelta a casa, escucha y ve gente hablando sobre cosas, símbolos por las calles, gorras, pegatinas en los coches que hablan de cosas malas, que hablan de muros.
A la hora de cenar ayuda a su Mamá. Pone la mesa, prepara la comida y su Mamá le dice:
¿Cómo estás mi mamita?
Y Maria dice:
¿Mami por que las cosas están tan mal? ¿Están peor que antes? ¿Hemos hecho algo malo, que pone a la gente furiosa? ¿He hecho algo malo yo?
Su mamá le abraza y le besa el pelo. “No mi amor” dice “no tienes nada que temer, tienes toda tu vida por delante y tu corazón está lleno de luz y bondad, incluso si hay gente que lleva ira o lleva intolerancia”
“Pero tu, mi amor, no tienes la culpa. Y si escuchas a alguien hablando con ira, hablando con odio, recuerda mi amor, tu no tienes que cambiar. Por que en lo más profundo tu ere lo más preciado”
Already Great (English translation)
Maria lives with her family, down in San Bernardino
Every day she walks to school she’s now 8 years old
She learns and plays all day, and gathers her books at the end
Says good bye to her teachers, says good bye to her friends
And along the way, as she walks home, she hears and she sees
People talking to each other, about all sorts of things
Signs along the road, hats on heads, stickers on cars
Talking about how bad it is, talking about walls
Then at dinner she helps her mama, set the plates and the food
Her mama says, how are you my child, was your day good?
And Maria says mama, are things so bad? Is it worse now than before?
Did we do something to make people mad? Did we do something wrong?
And her mama pulls her in, and kisses her tiny face
No, my child, she says, we will keep you safe
You have your whole life ahead and a heart that’s full and bright
Even though some people carry anger, some people carry spite
But you, my little one, you are not to blame
And if you hear someone, who speaks with anger or hate
Remember, my child, you don’t need to change
Because deep inside, you’re already great.
