La Nina de La Mochila Azul

The Girl with the Blue Backpack

La Nina de La Mochila Azul

What's wrong with you, little one?, what's wrong with you?¿Qué te pasa, chiquillo?, ¿qué te pasa?
They ask me at school and they ask me at homeMe dicen en la escuela y me preguntan en mi casa
Until now I knew it suddenlyHasta ahora lo supe de repente
When I heard the roll call and she wasn't presentCuando oí pasar la lista y ella no estuvo presente

The one with the blue backpackLa de la mochila azul
The one with sleepy eyesLa de ojitos dormilones
Left me with great uneaseMe dejó gran inquietud
And low gradesY bajas calificaciones

I don't even want to go out for recessNi al recreo quiero salir
I don't have fun with anythingNo me divierto con nada
I can't read or writeNo puedo leer ni escribir
I miss her gazeMe hace falta su mirada

I only have her colors as a memoryDe recuerdo me quedan sus colores
Two pages of a notebookDos hojas de un cuaderno
And it says love among smudgesY dice amor entre borrones
I would like to see her at her deskYo quisiera mirarla en su pupitre
Because if she doesn't come backPorque si ella ya no vuelve
My classroom will be very sadMi salón será muy triste

The one with the blue backpackLa de la mochila azul
The one with sleepy eyesLa de ojitos dormilones
Left me with great uneaseMe dejó gran inquietud
And low gradesY bajas calificaciones

I don't even want to go out for recessNi al recreo quiero salir
I don't have fun with anythingNo me divierto con nada
I can't read or writeNo puedo leer ni escribir
I miss her gazeMe hace falta su mirada
