Cancion Para Un Hijo Querido

Song For A Beloved Son

Cancion Para Un Hijo Querido

Today I see you upside downHoy te veo al revés
Stepping with your neckPisando con la nuca
Combing your feetPeinándote los pies
Having pastries for breakfastDesayunando pastas
Drinking tereré for dinnerCenando tereré
Having chocolates for lunchDe almuerzo chocolates
And coffee to sleepPara dormir café

And it doesn't seem strange to meY no me parece raro
That you go to bed only once a monthQue vayas a la cama sólo una vez por mes
That you forget we exist to quench your thirstQue olvides que existimos para calmar tu sed
That we always put up with you, and you don't even knowQue te aguantamos siempre, encima no sabés

What happens if one day your voice goes silent¿Qué es lo que pasa si tu voz un día de estos enmudece
And there's no scream to save you? You'll see how it feelsY, ya no hay grito que te salve? Vas a ver lo que se siente
What happens if one day your voice goes silentLo que pasa si tu voz un día de estos enmudece
And there's no scream to save you? You'll seeY, ya no hay grito que te salve? Vas a ver

And you think from time to timeY pensás de tanto en tanto
Even if it breaks dawn, you bite and don't reactAunque te rompa el alba, mordés y no volvés
To understand, dear, you lack comprehensionA reaccionar, querido te falta comprender
Life is a wound, and healing it is growingLa vida es una herida y curarla es crecer
Dear, you lack comprehensionHay querido te falta comprender
Life is a wound, and healing it is growingLa vida es una herida y curarla es crecer

What's happening that now you're looking for a god to advise you?¿Qué es lo que pasa que ahora andás buscando un dios que te aconseje?
You ask for forgiveness more than necessary, and that no longer surprises mePedís perdón más de la cuenta y eso ya no me sorprende
What happens if one day your voice goes silent¿Qué es lo que pasa si tu voz un día de estos enmudece
And there's no scream to save you? You'll see how it feelsY, ya no hay grito que te salve? Vas a ver lo que se siente

What happens if one day your voice goes silentLo que pasa si tu voz un día de estos enmudece
And there's no scream to save you? You'll see how it feelsY, ya no hay grito que te salve? Vas a ver lo que se siente
