El Cantar de Un Niño

Today is Christmas Day
And I'm going to look for my gift
As usual, what I've wished for
I'm sure it will be there

Today is Christmas Day
My little heart remains the same
It hurts to know that even though I have everything
Of what I long for, I need more

The hours of work have stolen from your parents
There's no time to play or have dinner by their side
They arrive when you're asleep, they leave and you haven't woken up
I know you carry an emptiness and you're desperate

Let them gift you love
Let them gift you affection
Let them dedicate the time that parents give to their children
Let them give back the hours you've lost with them
You want to feel their hugs, you want to feel loved

Let them gift me love
Let them gift you love
Let them gift me affection
Let them gift you affection
Let them dedicate the time that parents give to their children
Let them give back the hours
Let them give back the hours
That I've lost with them
That you've lost with them
I want to feel loved
I want to feel loved

I prefer their hugs more, I don't want so many gifts
These are the desires of the heart that my parents
Always be by my side
Hey child, I understand you
And I'm going to join you
To sing your song

Let them gift you love
Let them gift me love
Let them gift you affection
Let them gift me affection
Let them dedicate the time that parents give to their children
Let them give back the hours
Let them give back the hours
That I've lost with them
That you've lost with them
I want to feel loved
I want to feel loved

Let them gift you love
Let them gift me affection
Let them dedicate the time that parents give to their children
Let them give back the hours (let them give back the hours)
That I've lost with them (that you've lost with them)
I want to feel loved
I want to feel loved

I prefer their hugs more, (you prefer their hugs more)
I don't want so many gifts (you don't want so many gifts)
These are the desires of the heart that my parents
Always be by my side

This is the song of a child
