La Niñez
Mercedes Sosa
Childhood
Blue time, childhood
To listen and learn from the gentle heart
Warm voice of a soul that appears
To take flight with the doves
Discovering as time goes by
The scent of the walnut tree
And the rose bush that blooms
The vineyard lives and the brother grows
And the old deep and distant mystery
On the back of the sun I go far
To travel the blue
Lighting up stars
Awakening crickets
Inside the chest
Blue time, childhood
To listen and learn how the voice laughs
Pain cries and laughter sings
And the strange magic of a caress
Blue paper boat
The fleeting kite went over the sea
To fly in the amazed sky
Of some old tale never forgotten
