Story Behind The Song

watching children playing in the river and their mother calling to them

Song Description

one day sitting by a favorite swimming hole ,children played in the river while mothers watched them carefully and calling to them to come out.The idea of a girl becoming a woman and one day having children of her own.

Lyrics

Mi Nina, come out from the river child,your shivering(estas temblando)I`m not cold though mama.Just looking at you,turning blue makes me shiver too(me hace temblar) Its alright mama, I`m having fun.
Mi Nina,when did that willow thin tomboy disappear?(Ninez,Ninez) Its hard to let the child go. Looking at you, I can`t believe your a young woman now(ya heres una mujer)Its alright mama, I like sixteen.
Mi Nina,your little ones so much like you,see how she plays(pareciera que ayer,yo te estaba te llamando a ti tambien)
Mi Nina,Sal del arroyo de la ninez,estas temblando! Pero Mamy, yo no tengo frio.Pero mirandote como estas poiendote azule, me hace temblar a mi tambien
