Paper Boat

Barquito De Papel

Paper boatBarquito de papel
Without name, without pattern and without flagSin nombre, sin patrón y sin bandera
Sailing without a rudderNavegando sin timón
Wherever the current wantsDonde la corriente quiera

Bold adventurerAventurero audaz
Squared Paper RiderJinete de papel cuadriculado
That my hand without a pastQue mi mano sin pasado
He sat on the back of a canalSentó a lomos de un canal

When the canal was a riverCuando el canal era un río
When the pond was the seaCuando el estanque era el mar
And sailing was playing with the windY navegar era jugar con el viento
It was a smile in timeEra una sonrisa a tiempo

Happy escaping from country to countryFugándose feliz de país en país
Between school and my houseEntre la escuela y mi casa
Then time passesDespués el tiempo pasa
And you forget about that little paper boatY te olvidas de aquel barquito de papel

In what strange sandy areaEn qué extraño arenal
They have stranded your smile and my pastHan varado tu sonrisa y mi pasado
