De nina a mujer (From Childhood to Womanhood) traducción al Inglés

You were a very quiet child
Eras niña de largos silencios
and you already liked me
y ya me querías bien
your gaze looked for mine
tu mirada buscaba la mía
you were pretending to be a woman.
jugabas a ser mujer.

few years gained at the time
Pocos años ganados al tiempo,
wearing another skin
vestidos con otra piel,
and without expectations
y mi vida que nada esperaba
I liked you as well.
también te quería bien.

I missed you so much
Te extrañaba ya tanto
that not having you at my side
que al no verte a mi lado
I dream of seeing you again.
ya soñaba con volverte a ver
Meanwhile I was imagining you growing
y entretanto te estaba inventando
to a woman
De Niña A Mujer.

And that quiet child
Y esa niña de largos silencios
was flying so high
volaba tan alto que
that my gaze was trying to reach her
mi mirada quería alcanzarla
But I couldn't see her.
y no la podía ver.

I stopped her on time, thinking
La paraba en el tiempo pensando
that she shouldn't grow up.
que no debería crecer,
But time was cheating me
pero el tiempo me estaba engañando
my child has becom a woman.
mi niña se hacía mujer.

I loved her so much
La quería ya tanto
that when she left my side
que al partir de mi lado
I knew I would lose her
ya sabía que la iba a perder
Because her soul was changing
y es que el alma le estaba cambiando
to a woman
De Niña A Mujer.
