LA NIÑA Lyrics English Translation by Canserbero
And now what will María do?
If she could barely
put food on the table for her home.
She’s still 15,
lives alone with her aunt
because her mother doesn’t want to raise her, juh.
She still goes to school
and once noon hits she sells clothes with her aunt
on the boulevard, hey.
And now what will María do to tell her aunt
that in her belly there’s a baby on the way?
Ay, ay, ay, ay.
There’s a girl growing inside another,
bribrim bribrim
A creature with a chance to be born,
hey, hey.
There’s a girl growing inside another,
don’t let anyone out there find out, they don’t want to see her born.
The father of the creature
is a rich kid from a good family,
son of a doctor with a great image,
who absolutely cannot allow
some mischief from his son to bring him down, hey, hey.
“Let’s go talk to her parents,” he tells his son.
“She doesn’t have parents,” he answers.
“Let’s go where she lives and I’ll set up an appointment under my name.”
hey, hey.
“Tomorrow at midnight I demand she come alone to my office
where we’ll do a little job to get rid of the child
she’s hiding in her belly,” hey, hey, hey.
There’s a girl growing inside another,
bribambabam.
A creature with a chance to be born,
hey, hey.
There’s a girl growing inside another,
and don’t let anyone out there find out, they don’t want to see her born.
Let her be born, let her know where existence exists.
Besides, she’s in danger and there could be consequences.
How can you kill your own descendant to save your image?
A man’s worst enemy is his own conscience.
You’re only wise when you act with patience.
Do your part, guide your kid with your presence.
Learn from experiences.
Is there someone who doesn’t pay child support, but does keep up appearances?
(You’re making a mistake).
God gives you a beautiful gift.
Yeah, sometimes I get it, you feel bad for being blessed.
Give thanks and take good care, even bears do that.
Be a good father, since you can’t be a good husband.
A dad isn’t just the one who impregnates, take care of what’s yours.
Kids don’t come from storks.
From her body yes, but she’s no longer the owner of that life.
Someone who loves you doesn’t knock you down even if they teach you to stand.
Tell me, what are you afraid of? Give me one simple reason:
spending the savings you had for the baby shower?
What do you think? You were a seed once too,
what your current body can’t fit in a syringe.
The coffin is a box, no matter the color.
We’re all equal in the eyes of the Lord.
What you feel and what you think is what gives you worth.
There’s really no such thing as a superior race or class.
There’s a girl growing inside another
and no matter how much they hide it, the belly already shows.
It’s true that it’s hard to live with a broken soul,
but that’s life and well, the world is full of idiots.
Let’s go!
There’s a girl growing inside another
A creature with a chance to be born, hey, hey.
There’s a girl growing inside another,
and don’t let anyone out there find out, they don’t want to see her born.
