Niño Lyrics English Translation by Milo j
How are they in Ensenada, old man Zeibal
The jasmine bushes and orchids in bloom?
Where the thrush sang so sweetly
I want to see myself again in your camba eyes
And for you to kiss me like I kissed you
Under the shade of the jacaranda tree
Child, lean on my memories, try to sleep in peace
I feel the weight on your conscience from your mother’s weeping
I saw the fear of abandonment won’t let you breathe
I feel the knot in your belly when they talk to you about your dad
Child, make peace with life, the pasture isn’t made of stone
Your nostalgia for your past won’t let you walk
Who killed your little smile of hope and kindness?
I know you want to fall asleep and never wake up again
My love, don’t cry, I see a light in your troubles
Following your heart, dancing in a song of thrushes
Child, I’m a man with sadness, I know the weight of your truth
Running away to steal because you steal to have dinner
I saw your fingers in the mud with the smell of freedom
I know you want to fall asleep and never wake up again
Through the world you go, a rascal with a candy soul
I saw life in your knuckles and its hate in your dimples
You prayed to some friends, well not everyone goes to heaven
But you are a grail
My love, don’t cry, I see a light in your troubles
Following your heart, dancing in a song of thrush-
My love, don’t cry, I see a light in your troubles
Following your heart
My son, they stole your little eyes in the moments that I lost
I asked my destiny for time, and it said, “Today it’s your turn”
I know that one day you’ll be great, I know that one day you’ll understand
The advice of your old man, I am resting in peace
