El Niño Mudo
Quilapayún
The Mute Child
The child searches for his voice.
(The king of crickets had it).
In a drop of water
the child searched for his voice.
I don't want it to speak;
I will make a ring with it
that will carry my silence
on its tiny finger.
(The captive voice, in the distance,
put on a cricket suit).
