Cuando tú nazcas [English translation]

When you are born, open your eyes

take life, it's yours.

A whole world for you to play,

for you to grow free and happy.

A whole planet between your hands

when you fly out of me.

When you are born, may you see the sun

and, if it still exists, the sea, as blue as today on its sleep

may the rain

fall, pure, over your skin

may the wind still blow

so that you can play with him.

And may snow

fall, pristine, on Christmas.

When you are born,

may you be born in peace.

I wish you would be able to know

the summers I´ve lived

and all those old books I kept

thinking about you, son of mine.

May the forests be still where they are

may the sweet smell of bread still exist,

I wish a world like mine will still be left for you.

May the Moon always remain there,

may the stars fly over you

I wish a world like mine will still be left for you.
