Una Carta Al Cielo
Pasteles Verdes
A Letter to Heaven
Bringing a poor child, held by the hand,
He presented himself to the sergeant, a man in the barracks.
The world is lost, he said heatedly,
I bring you this boy, so young and as a thief.
---
Calm down and take a seat, there's no need to squeeze him,
What has he stolen, said the authority.
He stole a ball of yarn, from one of my stores
That's why he deserves to be punished without mercy...(repeat)
----
The authority asks, tell me dirty face
If what he says is true, and stop crying,
The boy replies, it's true my sergeant
I stole a ball of yarn, to send
----
To my white kite, up to the blue sky
Where my beloved mother has gone,
Can't you see there's a letter, attached to my toy
Forgive me if in it, I wanted to ask.
----
Why lovely mommy, why did you go far away,
Leaving me all alone, with my poor dad,
Why lovely mommy, why did you go far away,
Leaving me all alone, with my poor dad.
