Cuando Agosto Era 21

Juana Fe Juana Fe

When August Was 21

She hid in the pillars of the old passageways
To hide the child that was soon to come
It was hard to hide in a poor apron
The three extra months

And she left school with a seven in her notebook
And in her belly a kite that will soon want to fly
And she went for a walk, and she wondered
Through endless streets

And she went to a priest who told her it was a sin
And soon a lawyer talked to her about the legal
And it was the science teacher
Who talked about the unconsciousness
Of the current youth... of the current youth

Those who judge have not felt love
The pain
And in the belly some heartbeats
And they get tangled in prejudices
And love... stayed in a few heartbeats

And there were plenty of advice talking about pills
From an old lady who does the job well
There was no lack of the good friend, that friend in quotes
Who gave her an address

And she left school on a cold morning
When the old bell had not yet rung
While the science teacher talked about the unconsciousness of the current youth

When August was 21 they found her lying face up
With a lost gaze and her old 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
The pain
And in the belly some heartbeats
And they get tangled in prejudices
And love?
Stayed in a few heartbeats

No one cares about what's happening
She walks sad and empty in these streets of hypocrisy
No one cares about what's happening
They are women's problems in a girl
No one cares about what's happening
The church failed her, the state failed her
And everyone looks the other way
No one cares about what's happening
It's the poor who suffer, united in the slums
Listen, move forward and with faith
