Ronda para un niño chileno: Matías
Isabel Parra
Round for a Chilean child: Matías
Matías, one of many innocent little birds
that flew to other lands for not having their little nest.
Matías, your eyes are love and happiness.
May your brand new life not know evil.
Matías has a sister named Lisita
who, although born elsewhere, remains Chilean.
Finish the potato, it's time to go to bed
because early in the morning we have to wake up.
Matías, slow down, don't jump on the bed,
Rodrigo and Gonzalo put on pajamas.
Milena doesn't want to come to sleep
and Víctor finally sits without a cushion.
Reinaldo, calm down with the rattle,
the crib is too small for Ismael.
Sandra fights with Sebastián
and right away Fernando starts crying.
Aleja and Eduardo go to bed late
because a while ago they grew up.
Manuela is a bud that has already bloomed,
Amanda fell off the bike.
Returning home, I have a little gift,
I will see Javiera with the little Angel.
Matías, never forget that you have Chabela
who can play with you, if you want, your whole life.
Matías, until tomorrow, give Mom a kiss,
another one for your little sister without forgetting Dad.
Matías will grow up and learn the story,
and I will keep his beautiful little head in my memory.
