De Niña a Mujer [English translation]

You were a very quiet child

and you already liked me

your gaze looked for mine

you were pretending to be a woman.

A few years passed

dressed as another person

and without expectations

I liked you as well.

I missed you so much

that not having you at my side

I dream of seeing you again.

Meanwhile I was imagining you growing

to a woman.

And that quiet child

was flying so high

that my gaze was trying to reach her

But I couldn't see her.

I stopped her on time, thinking

that she shouldn't grow up.

But time was cheating me

my child has becom a woman.

I loved her so much

that when she left my side

I knew I would lose her

Because her soul was changing

from child to woman.

I loved her so much

that when she left my side

I knew I would lose her

Because her soul was changing

from child to woman.
