Maldito Ladron
Pablo Cocina
Damn Thief
Today I discover a new shine in your eyes
And a different way of thinking
That worries me
I know the time to fly is near
To cut the umbilical cord
And that scares me
It's the natural human condition
A biological clock that marks
That you're changing
The little girl I once knew
The one who existed just for me
Is drifting away
Today you don’t ask me what time to come home
And you’ll even take the key with you
I’m feeling jealous
And surely when you come back
I’ll pretend to be asleep so I won’t show
That I’m nervous
It’s that I must pay for my own mistakes
So many loves I had and now it’s my turn
I know who should be suspicious
And the one who struggles for his virgin girl
His little girl is now...
Who can stop time on the clock
And freeze it at that moment
When I heard her cry for the first time
Who can catch the damn thief
Who steals love
The purest and most innocent I ever had
He made her tiny body grow
That even years feel like minutes
I just can’t believe it
But he, even though he knew this would come
It’s still too soon
My little girl, there’s nothing I can do
Today I have to watch how I speak
And I embarrass you in front of others if I advise you
And those hours you used to play
On my lap, you’ll spend in front of the mirror
Today you’re changing my tenderness
I know by other hands that will shake
Your whole body
Today in that diary you won’t write down
The mischief of yesterday and maybe your secret love
Who can stop time on the clock
And freeze it at that moment
When I heard her cry for the first time
Who can catch the damn thief
Who steals love
The purest and most innocent I ever had
He made her tiny body grow
That even years feel like minutes
I just can’t believe it
But he, even though he knew this would come
It’s still too soon
My little girl, there’s nothing I can do
