De Parto
Joan Manuel Serrat
In Labor
Your feet swell
The fourth month, it weighs on your belly
To that girl in flower
through which love walked
Giving away seeds
If you saw her
Looking happy in the mirror
Feeling the profile
And braiding a thousand names
in two sexes
In its own way it bloomed in spring
To give thanks to the Sun and perfume the sidewalk
To her satin skin
It feels good to go out for a walk
Splashing in childhood in neglect
Of your swing
If you saw her
In front of the cafe, playing hopscotch
At dusk it is that at five
His yesterday comes back from school
And in his own way he returned to the horse and cart
To the cardboard doll and the clay pots
If you saw her
Singing lullabies
like a bell
Let him cradle a carnation
In a ray of moon
Run lizard, put another bed in the room
Wallpaper it blue and in August childbirth
Of childbirth
