Mujercita, Yo Sé Esperar

Baby girl, stretch out your cold hand and touch me
I want you to truly tell me that you're alive
Underneath those blankets so white
Surrounded by tubes and cotton
Sleeping in the iron bed
Exploring the past in you
Exploring the past in you

Your belly is panting
Little one, from running
Through the horizon of shadows
Unable to return to the old path
Where, splattered with modesty
You found my sweetest caresses
In games, unknowingly by me

Jumping with your dog in the square
Today I see you
Touching my face with your hands
Today I feel you
And I remember when we were two kids
Aspiring to be one being
And even if you leave this world now
Little woman, I will wait for you
