La De La Mochila Azul
Maria Jose Quintanilla
The One with the Blue Backpack
What's wrong with you, little girl, what's wrong with you?
They ask me at school and they ask me at home.
From now on I knew suddenly
When I heard the roll call and he was no longer present.
Chorus:
The one with the blue backpack
The one with sleepy eyes
Left me with great unease
And low grades.
I don't even want to go out for recess
I don't have fun with anything
I can't read or write
I miss his gaze.
I only have his colors as a memory
Two pages of a notebook say love among smudges.
I would like to look at his desk
Because if he doesn't come back, my classroom will be very sad.
The one with the blue backpack...
