Para Un Niño

I wish you wouldn't grow up anymore
May God keep this young age for you
And may nothing from your childhood become fleeting

Never abandon this childhood
If it's the best thing you can have
Even if it's little, enjoy it just once

Stay as you are until now
With slides, squares, and flights of pigeons

Mischievous and exploratory child
In shorts and suspenders
Make time forget to come for you

Little one who likes to roam
Who is happy just playing
Please don't grow up, become lazy

Because growing up will bring
Saying goodbye to holding you in my arms like this
Because growing up will bring
Saying goodbye to falling asleep in my arms like this
