Cuando Era Niño

I would have liked to continue being a child
absent from everything with no commitments
back then life was mine
sadness didn't hurt
a smile in a child
is the daily bread

I would have liked to continue being a child
play at being an adult but not have grown up
dream about my sister's friend
who, although older, seemed
or rather, I imagined
that she also liked me

When I was a child, nothing was complicated for me
I thought differently
I was different
life didn't question me
when I was a child, nothing scared me
a fall was routine
it hurt but I got up
when I was a child...

I would have liked to continue being a child (of course..)
despite school and also my grandmother
who, due to her frustrated dreams of being a hairdresser
she shaved my head
and instead of a middle parting
it looked like a highway

When I was a child, nothing was complicated for me
I thought differently
I was different
life didn't question me
when I was a child, nothing scared me
a fall was routine
it hurt but I got up
when I was a child

I thought differently
I was different
life didn't question me
when I was a child, nothing scared me
a fall was routine
it hurt but I didn't cry

When I was a child..
