Una Carta Al Cielo
Lucha Reyes
A Letter to Heaven
Carrying a poor child
Held by the hand
He presented himself to the sergeant
A man in the barracks
The world is lost!
He said heatedly
I bring you this boy
So young and as a thief
Calm down and take a seat
It's unnecessary to squeeze him
What has he stolen?
The authority said
He stole a ball of yarn
In one of my stores
That's why punishing him
Deserves no mercy
He stole a ball of yarn
In one of my stores
That's why punishing him
Deserves no mercy
The authority asks
Tell me, dirty face
If what he says is true
And stop crying
The child replies
It's true, my sergeant
I stole a ball of yarn
To make
My white kite
Reach the blue sky
Where my beloved mom
Has gone
He doesn't see in it a letter
Attached to my toy
Forgive me if in it
I wanted to ask
Why, dear mommy?
Why did you go far away?
Leaving me so alone with
My poor dad
Why, dear mommy?
Why did you go far away?
Leaving me so alone with
My poor dad
The authority asks
Tell me, dirty face
If what he says is true
And stop crying
The child replies
It's true, my sergeant
I stole a ball of yarn
To make
My white kite
Reach the blue sky
Where my beloved mom
Has gone
He doesn't see in it
A letter attached to my toy
Forgive me if in it
I wanted to ask
Why, dear mommy?
Why did you go far away?
Leaving me so alone with
My poor dad
Why, dear mommy?
Why did you go far away?
Leaving me so alone with
My poor dad
