Cuando Seas Grande

When You Grow Up

Cuando Seas Grande

When you grow up, look at what I plan to give youCuando seas grande, mira lo que pienso darte
A little horse so you can learn to rideUn caballito pa' que aprendas a montar
One that is gentle, that doesn't need spursQue sea mansito, que no necesite espuelas
With good reins and that listens through the bridleDe buena rienda y que atienda por el bozal

You will have to choose the size and color yourselfTendrás tú mismo que escoger porte y color
One that always shows a lot of grace when walkingQue muestre siempre mucho cargo al caminar
That horse will be more than just your mountEse caballo será más que tu montura
A faithful companion and a special friendFiel compañero y un amigo en especial

Good in love tasksBueno en faenas de amor
Effective in the corralEfectivo en el corral
Of fine figure, fast and very gallantDe fina estampa, correlón y muy galante
It must be a horse that knows how to behaveTiene que ser un caballo que se sepa a comportar
And in the steer wrestling shows its qualityY en las mangas de coleo demuestre su calidad

When you grow up, think about what you like the mostCuando seas grande piensa en lo que más te guste
Without giving space to resentment or evilSin dar cabida ni al rencor ni a la maldad
It's so beautiful to have your own criteriaEs tan bonito tener un criterio propio
Worthy of praise and great personalityDigno de elogios y gran personalidad

The flower of time will envelop you in its fragranceLa flor del tiempo te envolverá en su fragancia
Take a petal without hurting its dignityRóbale un pétalo sin herir su dignidad
Open your wings and stop being a chickAbre tus alas y deja de ser polluelo
Who wants a sky must learn to flyQuien quiere un cielo debe aprender a volar

All of this, when you grow upTodo eso, cuando crezcas
For now, you will waitPor ahora esperarás
Your mother and I are committedTu madre y yo estamos comprometidos
To take care of your education with personal criteriaA cuidar tu formación con criterio personal
Hoping that tomorrow you will not disappoint usEsperando que mañana no nos vas a defraudar
