Cuando Yo Era Un Enano
Silvio Rodriguez
When I Was a Kid
When I was little everything was close, real close
To reach the sky, just a little climb was enough
Dreams reached as far as I wanted to go
When I was little, I could, I could
Freedom, freedom, freedom for my child
Freedom, freedom, freedom, freedom
When I was a kid, I'd go to the river because it was beautiful
Even though it was forbidden because it was dangerous, so dangerous
Like jagüey and ceiba, like the palm and the yagruma
When I was a kid, I was from the countryside and dreamed of foam
Freedom, freedom
When I was a kid, I lived such memorable passions
With worn-out shoes and a less friendly smile
Dirt under my nails, hands fearlessly touching the world
When I was a kid, it was deep, it was deep
Freedom, freedom
Freedom, freedom
Dirt under my nails, hands fearlessly touching the world
When I was a kid, it was deep, it was deep
