Wikipedia article
"'Angelito'" ("Little Angel") is the first single by Don Omar taken from his album 'King of Kings'. It reached number one on the 'Billboard' Latin Rhythm Airplay, Hot Latin Tracks and Latin Tropical Airplay charts, peaking at number 93 on the 'Billboard' Hot 100. The song won the Video of the Year award at the Premio Lo Nuestro 2007.
Meaning of the song
"'Angelito'" is one of the most thematic songs in the history of reggaeton, like "'Shorty'" (by Randy), "'Down'" (by Rakim & Ken-Y) and "'Todo Tiene Final'" (by Arcngel). The meaning of the song is that the "angelito" is a girl who contracted AIDS for a revenge and has sex with a stranger, who is death. At the end of the song, the girl finally dies. And has a baby who is a younger DON OMAR so he remembers this when he is older.
That's why the song says: "'Amaneci bajo las alas de la muerte, aquellos brazos de hombre que la aprietan fuerte, todava le late el alma, el corazn no lo siente'" [...] "'Dos extraos jugando a quererse, en lo oscuro el amor no puede verse, es que tengas la vida de frente es morir o detente'" [...] "'Esta es la feliz historia de dos enamorados, de dos soadores, de dos amantes, que permitieron que tan solo un minuto de su vida decidiera el resto de la misma, irnico el momento en el que el amor se convierte en muerte'".
