Ojitos de ombligo

Belly Button Eyes
Little inhabitant
in mama's big belly,
arriving in October,
breaking the customs you'll be born
spring has arrived inside
Outside, those waiting are two
the tree wants a flower...
Peek into the belly button
little elf, to see
that a traveling comet is coming from the sky
to witness the first tooth in April
elusive kite teacher
I put a string on it, and it's for you...
You in there and further out
this wait is for two
come out happy and suckle
commit your little heart...
Little inhabitant
in mama's big belly
you come to earth,
here where America goes..
peek your eyes towards the sea
Valparaíso waits beyond
you come and go in a hop...
Peek into the belly button
provoke a sigh with my song
let the thrushes sing
under the Andes the sun was born
spring has arrived inside
outside, those waiting are two
the tree painted a flower...
You in there and further out
this wait is for two
come out happy and suckle
commit your little heart...
