Yo Queria Ser Mayor

It was the spring of the pale verse
Of my years of promises and disappointments
When I understood that the time had come
To distance myself from my past

One Sunday in April I gathered courage
And I left, leaving my best suit
To face life face to face
To discover the world at dawn

I wanted to be older
I wanted to be older

I wanted to be a capable man
I wanted to be older
And not be a grumpy child
I wanted to be older

People have taught me to be discreet
Calm, accommodating, balanced
In exchange for my dreams, they have left me
A place for vice and sin

I wanted to be older
I wanted to be older

I wanted to be a capable man
I wanted to be older
And not be a grumpy child
I wanted to be older
I don't want to be older anymore

I don't want to be older
I don't want to be a tamed man

I don't want to be older
I don't want to be older
I prefer to be a child in love
