Niña Sara
Jarabe de Palo
Sara's Girl
Sara came into the world like you and me
With a stroke of luck and no questions asked
She arrived and without permission stole my heart
Sara cried, I didn't understand her
But her smile gave me life
Sara cried and filled me with love
Welcome girl,
Pretty girl, Sara
I gave you life
And now you
Give it back to me.
Welcome girl,
Pretty girl, Sara
I gave you life
And now you
Give it back to me.
I pictured a different world for her
Something different, something more decent
A better place than what I could offer
A cleaner, more humane, and transparent world
A pleasant, happy, and intelligent place
Something better, for the world she was going to have
Every morning when I wake up I tell myself
That I have to do something
To give Sara a life in a better world
Every morning when I make a promise
To be a better person, to respect this earth,
So that children live in a better world.
Welcome girl
Pretty girl, Sara
I gave you life
And now you
Give it back to me.
Welcome girl
Pretty girl, Sara
I gave you life
And now you
Give it back to me.
I gave you life
And now you
Give it back to me...
