De Niña A Mujer
Pancho Barraza
From Girl to Woman
As time goes by
Life changes
I've seen you grow
Change into a woman
When yesterday you were my girl
A nostalgia takes over me
Sometimes it hurts
When I imagine you as a woman
Running here and there
And a tear of pride runs down my cheek
Proud to look at the little girl you were
You're already a woman
The years have passed
Those nights when you slept
In Mama and Papa's arms
You're already a woman
I kneel my voice saying
Looking at the sky, I give thanks
For the joy that I allow myself
The pride of seeing you grow, beloved daughter
Being with you until this day that from my arm and before the altar
There's a blessing for you as you turn fifteen
My eyes cry, my hands tremble
It's because I'm thanking God
“My daughter, do you remember? When I told you yes, no, you can't have a boyfriend hahaha just a joke my love, God bless your soul from a girl today as you become a woman”
With pride, I kissed you when you were born, beloved daughter
May God bless your changing soul
And accompany you on your journey
Today a woman who turns fifteen
My eyes cry, my hands tremble
It's because I'm thanking God
Who is already a woman
I kneel my voice saying
To God in heaven, I give thanks
For the joy that He allowed me
Who is already a woman
The years have passed
Those nights when you slept
In Mama and Papa's arms
