Libertad pastoral

Pastoral Freedom

Libertad pastoral

Your hair fallsTus cabellos se desploman
over a sleeping foreheadsobre una frente dormida
forehead that will vibrate woundedfrente que vibrará herida
by drops of feeling.por gotas de sentimiento.

You wanted to shout to the wind,Quisiste gritarle al viento,
and your voice was not heardy tu voz no se escuchó
and running through the field,y corriendo por el campo,
people have seen you.la gente te ha visto.

Small is the freedomPequeña es la libertad
she can no longer playya no puede jugar
small is the freedom.pequeña es la libertad.

They take her to the millQue la llevan al molino
and give her a pacifiery que le den un chupón
because now she is tinypues ahora es chiquitita
and she can't play.y ella no puede jugar.

If you see a sparrow flySi ves un gorrión volar
don't pull its tail - no, nono le tires de la cola - no, no
let it flydéjalo volar
because as long as the sparrow fliesque mientras el gorrión vuele
my freedom will fly.volará mi libertad.

Take her by the handTómala de la mano
and lead her to the sidey llévala al lado
the Sun will cover themque el Sol los cubrirá
people will not bother.la gente no molestará.

When she grows up and is big,Cuando crezca y sea grande,
she will be able to scare awayella podrá espantar
all the bad people who want to hit her.a toda la gente mala que le quiere pegar.

Small is the freedom,Pequeña es la libertad,
she can no longer play.ya no puede jugar.
