Cuando Mi Vida Va a Comenzar

It's already seven o'clock, we have to get going
I have to start with the tasks now
The whole house needs to be thoroughly cleaned
I'm done, and what do I do until tomorrow again?

I will read a book now or maybe two or three
And I'll paint something new on my big wall
Playing, then knitting, then cooking
When is my life going to begin?

Then I will do puzzles, throw darts and cookies
Papier-mâché, ballet and a bit of chess
Pottery, theatre and candle making
Stretch, draw, scale, design

I will reread more books and I will pass the time
I will look for some hole in the wall again
Then I will brush and brush more
Locked in the same place

And I wonder, I wonder, I wonder, my life, when will it begin?

Tomorrow I will finally see the lights
And every birthday I see them again. Where do they go? That's where I want to go
Maybe today mother will finally allow me to go out
