El Oficio de Ser Mama

I saw her playing in front of me
With her plaid dress
When suddenly she dropped
Her diaper on my feet
The play-doh as a gift
And a toy in each hand
That's how I declared myself

Hello Natalia, how are you?
The time has come to talk
Stop picking your nose
And listen to me for real
Even though I'm in preschool
And you're in kindergarten
There's something I want to tell you today

I want to have you by my side
And undress in secret
When the teacher doesn't see us
I'll make love to you in the sandbox of the garden
I'll kiss you
Like no one has kissed you before

Let's talk to my parents
Let's talk to your parents
They don't have to agree
If we want to get married
And if they say no
I know how to handle it
On my fast tricycle
We can both escape

But the problem started
After the test of love
She kept vomiting all the time
And frequently felt dizzy
Her body began to change
And in a few months she gained weight
And we thought it was too much candy

And one morning in the garden
She screamed in pain
While the teacher attended to her
I walked through the hall
Anxiously smoking, not knowing
What would happen in the classroom
Suddenly I hear cries
And the door opened
It's a boy
Congratulations Juan Manuel
The teachers greeted me
And I couldn't understand anything when I remembered
That morning when I loved her in the sand

Let's talk to my parents
Let's talk to your parents
They don't have to agree
If we want to get married
And if they say no
I know how to handle it
On my fast tricycle
We can both escape

The three of us will go to another place
To start over
I'll pass preschool
And I'll start working
You'll take care of the baby
Change his diaper
And breastfeed him
And little by little you'll learn
The job of being a mom
