Cancion Para Un Hijo Querido

Today I see you upside down
Stepping with your neck
Combing your feet
Having pastries for breakfast
Drinking tereré for dinner
Having chocolates for lunch
And coffee to sleep

And it doesn't seem strange to me
That you go to bed only once a month
That you forget we exist to quench your thirst
That we always put up with you, and you don't even know

What happens if one day your voice goes silent
And there's no scream to save you? You'll see how it feels
What happens if one day your voice goes silent
And there's no scream to save you? You'll see

And you think from time to time
Even if it breaks dawn, you bite and don't react
To understand, dear, you lack comprehension
Life is a wound, and healing it is growing
Dear, you lack comprehension
Life is a wound, and healing it is growing

What's happening that now you're looking for a god to advise you?
You ask for forgiveness more than necessary, and that no longer surprises me
What happens if one day your voice goes silent
And there's no scream to save you? You'll see how it feels

What happens if one day your voice goes silent
And there's no scream to save you? You'll see how it feels
