When I Was a Child

Cuando Era Niño

I would have liked to continue being a childMe hubiese gustado seguir siendo niño
absent from everything with no commitmentsausente de todo sin ningún compromiso
back then life was mineentonces la vida era mía
sadness didn't hurtla tristeza no dolía
a smile in a childla sonrisa en un pequeño
is the daily breades el pan de cada día

I would have liked to continue being a childMe hubiese gustado seguir siendo niño
play at being an adult but not have grown upjugar al adulto pero no haber crecido
dream about my sister's friendsoñar con la amiga de mi hermana
who, although older, seemedque aunque mayor parecía
or rather, I imaginedo mas bien me imaginaba
that she also liked meque también yo le gustaba

When I was a child, nothing was complicated for meCuando era niño nada se me complicaba
I thought differentlypensaba distinto
I was differentera distinto
life didn't question mela vida no me cuestionaba
when I was a child, nothing scared mecuando era niño nada me atemorizaba
a fall was routineuna caída era rutina
it hurt but I got updolía pero me levantaba
when I was a child...cuando era niño...

I would have liked to continue being a child (of course..)Me hubiese gustado seguir siendo niño (como no..)
despite school and also my grandmothera pesar de la escuela y también de mi abuela
who, due to her frustrated dreams of being a hairdresserque por sus sueños frustrados de ser peluquera
she shaved my headme trasquilo la cabeza
and instead of a middle partingy en lugar de raya en medio
it looked like a highwayparecía carretera
