Ojalá No Crecieras

I Wish You Wouldn't Grow Up

Ojalá No Crecieras

How little time ago I rocked you in my armsQue poquito hace te arrullé en mis brazos
When you illuminated that dawnCuando iluminaste aquel amanecer
With the first cry that cheered your eyesCon el primer grito que alegó tus ojos
And gave my life a reason to beY le dio a mi vida la razón de ser

You didn't know then that this tender cryNo sabías entonces que ese tierno llanto
Is only the first and the least bitterEs sólo el primero y el menos amargo
Of those that destiny makes us shedDe los que el destino nos hace verter

You didn't know then that this tender cryNo sabías entonces que ese tierno llanto

Of those that destiny makes us shedDe los que el destino nos hace verter

How much I would give so you wouldn't grow upCuanto diera porque no crecieras
So your sweet childhood would be eternalPorque fuera eterna tu dulce niñez
So the smile on your lipsPorque la sonrisa que tienen tus labios
Would never know so many disappointments that taste like bileNunca conocieran tantos desengaños que saben a hiel

How much I would give so you wouldn't grow upCuanto diera porque no crecieras
To see you always like this, with your tranquilityPor verte así siempre con tu tranquilidez
So the hope that lights up your lifePorque la esperanza que alumbra tu vida
Would last forever and you would never know what old age is likeDurara por siempre y nunca supieras como es la vejez

How much I would give so you wouldn't grow upCuanto diera porque no crecieras
To see you always like this, with your tranquilityPor verte asi siempre con tu tranquilidez
So the hope that lights up your lifePorque la esperanza que alumbra tu vida
Would last forever and you would never know what old age is likeDurara por siempre y nunca supieras como es la vejez
