Y aunque te haga calor [English translation]

Like all children

you’ve been always wearing

a watch on your wrist

and shoes on your feet.

There's a path with ups and downs,

that you'll have to run through,

a little downhill

and then a little uphill.

Follow the sun,

even if it may burn your skin, 1

‘cause the shadow is good

for those with a delicate skin,

let the sweat annoy them.

If it starts to rain

don’t try to run,

getting wet means growing,

but while running across the puddles

you can easily fall.

When the shoes squeeze,

and other things too,

there will be no place next to you,

‘cause you’ll be already a woman.

And I will have no more strength

to follow your footsteps,

you’ll leave this world someday 2

and I - today. 3

Follow the sun,

even if it may burn your skin,

‘cause the shadow is good

for those with a delicate skin,

let the sweat annoy them.

If it starts to rain

don’t try to run,

getting wet means growing,

but while running across the puddles

you can easily fall.

Sooner or later

your watch will stop

and if heaven really exists,

I’ll be waiting there for you.

And if that is not true,

it will be only a consolation of fools.

How can they tell, when

they don't live anymore?

Follow the sun,

even if it may burn your skin,

‘cause the shadow is good

for those with a delicate skin,

let the sweat annoy them.

If it starts to rain

don’t try to run,

getting wet means growing,

but while running across the puddles

you can easily fall.

Follow the sun,

even if it may burn your skin,

‘cause the shadow is good

for those with a delicate skin,

let the sweat annoy them.

If it starts to rain

don’t try to run,

getting wet means growing,

but while running across the puddles

you can easily fall.

1. Literally it would be rather: "Even if it would make you (too) hot".2. Literally: "tomorrow".3. Literally: "at the sunset".
