¿Adónde Fue Cecilia?
Kany García
Where Did Cecilia Go?
For several days now I've been feeling
In that park
It distracts me to see the children
taking a cup of coffee
Some feed the pigeons
Others just swing for long hours.
Others will only be here temporarily and nothing more
Today, if I'm not mistaken
There's someone who's been gone for days already.
Where did Cecilia go?
I no longer see her in that park
She used to play hide and seek
And always saved a smile for you.
Where did Cecilia go?
I haven't seen her since that evening
They say they bought her an ice cream
And she must have secretly earned it
Giving her little hands and her skin
Being more of what they have stolen from her.
Where did Cecilia go?
Where did your girl go?
With a woman's soul.
For a few weeks now I've been sitting
Just watching
If with all her grace
she would reappear
And I can't imagine that at 7 years old
Someone could wish to harm her.
And she walks the streets
Unnoticed, not knowing
That they steal her innocence
Unleashing their violence.
Where did Cecilia go?
I no longer see her in that park
They say they bought her an ice cream
And she must have secretly earned it
Giving her little hands and her skin
Being more of what they have stolen from her.
Where did Cecilia go?
Where did your girl go?
With a woman's soul.
If it had only been
a story I told
But she is not alone.
If this silence were to be broken
to speak of what you see
Another would be saved.
Where did Cecilia go?
Where did your girl go?
With a woman's soul.
Where did she go?
Where did she go?
