Muchacha [Ojos de papel] [English translation]

Girl, paper eyes,

Where are you going?: Stay until dawn.

Girl, little feet,

Do not run more!: Stay until dawn.

Dream a dream slowly in my hands

Until the sun comes through the window

Girl, rayon skin,

Do not run more! Your time is now.

And say no more, girl

Heart of chalk:

When all sleep

I will steal a color from you.

Girl, voice of sparrow,

Where are you going?: Stay until the day.

Girl, breasts of honey

Do not run!: Stay until the day.

Get some sleep and in the meantime, I will build

a castle with your belly to the sun

Girl, make you laugh till you cry, till you cry.

And say no more, girl

Heart of chalk:

When all sleep

I will steal a color from you.
