Childhood Dream

Sueño Infantil

Mom, I'm going to tell youMamá te voy a contar
What I dreamed last night,Lo que anoche yo soñe,
It was a dream of punishmentEra un sueño de castigo
For how badly I behaved.Por lo mal que me porte.

I dreamed that I went up in the windSoñe que al viento subi
Like a paper kiteCual cometa de papel
Like a balloon that escapesComo globo que se escapa
And I reached the clouds.Y hasta las nubes llegue.

And above the clouds, there was a big gardenY sobre las nubes habia un gran jardin
Fruit trees of jasmine colorArboles frutales de color jazmin
Children playing everywhereNiños que jugaban por doquier
And happily I approached them.Y contento a ellos me acerque.

Everyone told me you behave badlyTodos me dijeron tu te portas mal
And with a push, we're going to throw youY de un empujon te vamos a tirar
I plummeted into the voidAl vacio me precipite
And crashed against the ground.Y contra el suelo choque.

Mom, when I woke upMamá cuando desperte
I climbed into bedA la cama me subi
And to my pillow, a piece of adviceY a mi almohada un consejo
In secret, I heard.En secreto yo le oi.

It told me behave wellMe dijo portate bien
You will be thankful for itTe lo van a agradecer
And you'll see that from the bedY veras que de la cama
You won't fall again.No te vuelves a caer.
