Canción de Cuna

To this child who is coming, I am already waiting for him
He brings the sun in his eyes
And the embrace of the sea in his voice
When my child comes, may he find me singing
While I ask God to take away my tears

I sing to see if the air takes away the tears
Takes them far away, far away from here
I cry just in case the skies cloud over
And even if it's the rain, it takes pity on me
Oh, and on my child who is coming!

To this child who is coming, I am already waiting for him
I can give him nothing
Except the world that hides his love in my womb

When my child is born, may he find me singing
I sing while I forget
About this life so lonely that fell to me

I sing to see if the air takes away the tears
Takes them far away, far away from here
I sing just in case the skies cloud over
And even if it's the moon, it remembers me
I sing to see if maybe there's a God who listens to me
That sleeping God who doesn't think of me
I sing for my child who is not at fault
For not having a roof or a place to sleep
Oh, this child who is coming!
