Canción Para Un Niño
Alfredo Zitarrosa
Song for a Child
Child who never born, where did you go.
I already loved you, blood started,
Forgotten death.
Song of nobody, shadow that is born,
Let someone embrace you.
Grow in the shadow of a tree, the thistle flower,
Red and ash, flower that hurts,
Sleep peacefully.
When the yellow flower dries up,
It will be a seed.
Child, don't say where your soul hides.
When I mention you, your mother cries,
Who enchants her.
It will be more yours, blood that grows,
When it returns.
