Para Un Niño
Facundo Saravia
For a Child
I wish you wouldn't grow up anymore
May God keep this young age for you
And may nothing from your childhood become fleeting
Never abandon this childhood
If it's the best thing you can have
Even if it's little, enjoy it just once
Stay as you are until now
With slides, squares, and flights of pigeons
Mischievous and exploratory child
In shorts and suspenders
Make time forget to come for you
Little one who likes to roam
Who is happy just playing
Please don't grow up, become lazy
Because growing up will bring
Saying goodbye to holding you in my arms like this
Because growing up will bring
Saying goodbye to falling asleep in my arms like this
