You are like me
when I was a child.
You are beautiful and you do not know
all that you have.
Sing, little girl,
for the day lasts only a few hours
and, when evening comes, you might discover
that the sun sets and you are left behind.
Sing, little girl,
and do not stop crying or thinking
that so much passes, even love,
and, in the end, you remain alone.
No, do not do as I did.
Do not do as I did
for now I no longer live.
A day is worth a year
and life is worth a moment.
You wake up one morning
and you find you are already a woman.
Sing, little girl,
for the day lasts only a few hours
and, when evening comes, you might discover
that the sun sets and you are left behind.
Sing, little girl,
and do not stop crying or thinking
that so much passes, even love,
and, in the end, you remain alone.
No, do not do as I did.
Do not do as I did
for now I no longer live.
Sing, little girl,
for the day lasts only a few hours
and, when evening comes, you might discover
that the sun sets and you are left behind.
Sing, little girl,
and do not stop crying or thinking
that so much passes completely, even love,
and, in the end, you remain alone.
