Cancion Infantil

Y bueno, pues,un día másque se va colandode contrabando.

Y bueno, pues,adiós a ayery cada unoa lo que hay que hacer.

Tú, enciende el sol.Tú, tiñe el mar,y tú, descorre el veloque oscurece el cielo,y tú, ve a blanquearla espuma y la nube,la nieve y la lana,y tú, conmigo a cantar la mañana.

Tú, a dibujarel trigo y la flor.Tú, haces de viento,dales movimientoy tú les das color.

Tú, amasa los montes.Tú, al pozo a baldeary tú, conmigo y el gallo a cantar...

Que hay que empezarun día más.Tire pa'lanteque empujan atrás.

Y póngase el calcetín, paloma mía,y véngase a cocinar el nuevo día.Todo esta listo, el agua, el sol y el barro,pero si falta usted no habrá milagro.

Si le falta usteda un mundo enfermo y con canas,quién va a hacerle la camay quién le peinará la frentey quién le lavará la cara.Si falta su risapara echarlo a andar.Venga conmigo y el gallo a cantar.

Children´s song

And so, then,just another dayslowly seeping in,slowly smuggling itself in.

And so, then,goodbye to yesterdayand let everyone tendto what he needs to tend to.

You, light up the sun.You, dye the sea,and you, slide apart the veilobscuring the sky,and you, go and whitewashthe sea foam and the cloud,the snow and the wool,and you, come with me to sing to the morning.

You, get to drawingthe wheat and the flower.You, you are the wind,give them motion,and you, give them colours.

You, knead the mountains,you, go to the well and get waterand you, come with me and the rooster to sing.

For we have to startanother day.You press on forward,the guys behind are pushing on.

And put your socks on, my little dove,and come to cook the new day.Everything is ready- the water, the sun, the mud,but without you, there won´t be a miracle.

If you are missing,in a world that is sick and white-haired,who would make its bedand who would comb its headand who will wash its face.If your laughter is missingto kick it into motion,come with me and the rooster to sing.
