Plegaria Para Un Niño Dormido

Prayer for a sleeping child
Perhaps he has flowers in his belly button
And also on his fingers that turn into bread
Paper boats without open sea

Prayer for the child's dream
Where the world is a little chocolate
Where a thousand sleeping children go who are not there
Among bicycles of glass

The sleeping child laughs
Perhaps he feels like a sparrow this time
Restlessly playing in the gardens of a place
That he will never find awake

Let no one, no one, wake the child
Let him keep dreaming of happiness
Destroying rags to polish
Moving away from all evil

The sleeping child laughs
Perhaps he feels like a sparrow this time
Restlessly playing in the gardens of a place
That he will never find awake

Prayer for a sleeping child
Perhaps he has flowers in his belly button
And also on his fingers that turn into bread
Paper boats without open sea

The sleeping child laughs
Perhaps he feels like a sparrow this time
Restlessly playing in the gardens of a place
That he will never find awake
