CÁNDIDA NIÑA
Allá va la niña tras los pasos de su mama agarraditas de manos al colegio por la mañana.
Qué linda se ve la niña con sus moñitos de trenzas esas que con un lazo visten a las princesas.
Ojitos de caramelo de codiciadas almendras parecen dos luceros de dos preciosas prendas.
Muchachita de mi pueblo de rosados cachetitos la gracia de tu inocencia de risa visten los pinos.
Niña que salta y canta melodías inventadas jugando le das al mundo tu risa acaramelada.
No te canses niña linda que tu candidez valora todo lo bueno del mundo casi siempre a toda hora.
CANDID GIRL
There goes the little girl following her mother's footsteps holding hands to school in the morning.
How pretty the little girl looks with her little braids the ones that princesses wear with a bow to dress.
Candy-colored eyes made of coveted almonds look like two bright stars made of two precious garments.
Little girl from my town with rosy cheeks the grace of your innocence dresses the pines with laughter.
Little girl who jumps and sings invented melodies playfully, you give the world your caramel-colored laughter.
Don't get tired, pretty girl, for your candor values all the good in the world almost always, at all times.
