Marcha de Osias
María Elena Walsh
Osias' March
Osias the little bear in a onesie
Strolled down Chacabuco Street
Glancing at the shop windows
Without a piggy bank but with a craving
Finally, he made up his mind and in a bazaar
He wanted to buy all this and much more
I want time but not rushed time
Time to play, which is the best
Please, give it to me loose and not caged
Inside an alarm clock
I want a river with fourteen little fish
And a garden without a guard or thief
I also want for when I'm alone
A bit of conversation
I want stories, comics, and novels
But not the ones that come with a button
I want them from the hand of a grandmother
Who reads them to me in a nightgown
I want everything that mirrors keep
And a flower inside a ravioli
And also a top hat with rabbits
And a ball that scores a goal
I want a sky very blue
Even if it costs me
Really not a postcard sky
To travel from east to west
In a space capsule
