Cuando Agosto Era 21
Fernando Ubiergo
When August Was 21
He hid in the pillars
Of the old passageways
To hide the child
That was soon to come
It was difficult to hide
In a white apron
The extra three months
And he left school
With a seven in the notebook
And in the belly a kite
That will soon want to fly
And he went for a walk
And he wondered
Through the streets, endless
And he went to a priest
Who told him it was a sin
And very soon a lawyer
Spoke to him about the legal
And it was the science teacher
Who spoke to him about the recklessness
Of today's youth
Of today's youth
Those who judge
Have not felt
Love, pain
And in the belly
Some heartbeats
And they get tangled in prejudices
And love, stayed
In a few heartbeats
And they talked about sideburns
And they talked about remedies
About an old woman
Who does the job well
There was no lack of a good friend
That friend in quotes
Who gave her the address
And she left from school
On a cold morning
When the old bell
Had not yet rung
While the science teacher
Talked about the recklessness
Of today's youth
When August was 21
They found her lying face up
With a lost gaze
And her white apron
And in the school bag
A heart drawn
That said you and me
That said you and me
Those who judge
Have not felt
Love, pain
And in the belly
Some heartbeats
And they get tangled in prejudices
And love
