The Little Huipil
Juchitán, Juchitán, lovely huipil1my song, my song is for you.
Little huipil of the Juchiteca
huipil filled with flowers
of many, many colors,
little huipil of the Juchiteca.
What hands have embroidered you,
what soul has given you its warmth,
what arms you've been placed over,
in that beautiful garden of love.
