La Cuna
Niña Pastori
The Cradle
Before coming into the world
After your birth
And never knew if she wanted
To be your mother or be your friend
To be the owner of your life
And the years go by
And she still doesn't know you
If you're crazy but firm
Or you're crazy adrift
In the cradle she dreamed of you,
In the cradle she kissed you,
In the cradle she rocked you.
She wants to be the rose in your womb
Fall asleep with your scent next to her bed
Awaken the child that carries a heart inside.
In the courtyard where she lives
She only paints scars
That only time can heal
And it's time that decides.
In the cradle she dreamed of you,
In the cradle she kissed you,
In the cradle she rocked you.
I'm whatever you want me to be,
I'm your friend in my own way.
Ask me for the half moon,
The whole moon,
Whatever you want,
Don't leave me without your laughter,
Because you're a star to me
That can shine
But doesn't let the dreams
That pass through your mind spill.
