The Song of a Child

El Cantar de Un Niño

Today is Christmas DayHoy es día de navidad
And I'm going to look for my giftY mi regalo voy a buscar
As usual, what I've wished forComo de costumbre lo que he deseado
I'm sure it will be thereEstoy seguro que ahí estará

Today is Christmas DayHoy es día de navidad
My little heart remains the sameMi corazoncito sigue igual
It hurts to know that even though I have everythingMe duele saber que aunque tengo todo
Of what I long for, I need moreDe lo mas que anhelo necesito mas

The hours of work have stolen from your parentsLas horas del trabajo a tus padres le ha robado
There's no time to play or have dinner by their sideYa no hay tiempo de jugar ni de cenar junto a su lado
They arrive when you're asleep, they leave and you haven't woken upLlegan cuando estas dormido se van y no has despertado
I know you carry an emptiness and you're desperateSé que llevas un vacío y que estas desesperado

Let them gift you loveQue te regalen amor
Let them gift you affectionQue te regalen cariño
Let them dedicate the time that parents give to their childrenQue te dediquen el tiempo que los padres dan a sus niños
Let them give back the hours you've lost with themQue te devuelvan las horas, que con ellos has perdido
You want to feel their hugs, you want to feel lovedQuieres sentir sus abrazos, queres sentirte querido

Let them gift me loveQue me regalen amor
Let them gift you loveQue te regalen amor
Let them gift me affectionQue me regalen cariño
Let them gift you affectionQue te regalen cariño
Let them dedicate the time that parents give to their childrenQue me dediquen el tiempo que los padres dan a sus niños
Let them give back the hoursQue me devuelvan las horas
Let them give back the hoursQue te devuelvan las horas
That I've lost with themQue con ellos he perdido
That you've lost with themQue con ellos has perdido
I want to feel lovedQuiero sentir que me aman
I want to feel lovedQuiero sentirme querido

I prefer their hugs more, I don't want so many giftsPrefiero mas sus abrazos, no quiero tantos regalos
These are the desires of the heart that my parentsSon los deseos de corazón que mis padres
Always be by my sidePor siempre estén a mi lado
Hey child, I understand youOye niño te entiendo
And I'm going to join youY me voy a unir contigo
To sing your songA cantar tu canción

Let them gift you loveQue te regalen amor
Let them gift me loveQue me regalen amor
Let them gift you affectionQue te regalen cariño
Let them gift me affectionQue me regalen cariño
Let them dedicate the time that parents give to their childrenQue te dediquen el tiempo que los padres dan a sus niños
Let them give back the hoursQue me devuelvan las horas
Let them give back the hoursQue te devuelvan las horas
That I've lost with themQue con ellos he perdido
That you've lost with themQue con ellos has perdido
I want to feel lovedQuiero sentir que me aman
I want to feel lovedQuiero sentirme querido

Let them gift you loveQue te regalen amor
Let them gift me affectionQue me regalen cariño
Let them dedicate the time that parents give to their childrenQue me dediquen el tiempo que los padres dan a sus niños
Let them give back the hours (let them give back the hours)Que mede vuelvan las horas (que te devuelvan las horas)
That I've lost with them (that you've lost with them)Que con ellos he perdido (que con ellos has perdido)
I want to feel lovedQuiero sentir que me aman
I want to feel lovedQuiero sentirme querido

I prefer their hugs more, (you prefer their hugs more)Prefiero más sus abrazos, (prefieres más sus abrazos)
I don't want so many gifts (you don't want so many gifts)No quiero tantos regalos (no quieres tantos regalos)
These are the desires of the heart that my parentsSon los deseos de corazón que mis padres
Always be by my sidePor siempre estén a mi lado
