Plegaria para un niño dormido [English translation]

Prayer for an asleep

child

Perhaps he may have flowers in his navel

And also in his fingers that turn into bread

Paper boats without high seas

Prayer for an asleep child

Where the world is a candy bar

Where are you going Thousand asleep children that aren't

Between crystal bicycles

The asleep child laughs

Perhaps he may feel like a sparrow this time

Tinkering restless

In the gardens of a place

That he will never find awake

Shall no one, no one wake the child

Allow him to keep dreaming of happiness

Destroying polishing rags

Getting away of evilness

The asleep child laughs

Perhaps he may feel like a sparrow this time

Tinkering restless

In the gardens of a place

That he will never find awake

Prayer for an asleep child

Perhaps he may have flowers in his navel

And also in his fingers that turn into bread

Paper boats without high seas
