Del Tiempo De Mi Niñez - Mercedes Sosa

Mi mama solía decirme

Recuerdo cuando era chango

Usted se acuesta a la siesta

No vayas a andar hondiando

Hay nomás ya me ordenaba

Que algo en el suelo tirara

Y debajito el alero

En un cuerito siestiara

Bajo el sopor de la siesta

Todo en silencio quedaba

Y con los changos pa’l monte

En puta i' pié me escapaba

ESTRIBILLO

Que lejos que queda ahora

Esa niñez añorada

Quisiera mama me mandes

Que en un cuerito siestiara

Parece que fuera ahora

Cuando mi mama ordenaba

Que un mandadito le hiciera

Yo a los rezongos rumbeaba

Si me encontraba a los changos

Que a las bolitas jugaban

La bolsa de los mandados

A un costadito quedaba

Yo sacaba mi terita

Y si por ai' yo ganaba

Como nidito i 'boyero

Mi bolsillito quedaba

ESTRIBILLO

Que lejos que queda ahora

Esa niñez añorada

Quisiera mama me mandes

Que en un cuerito siestiara

My mom used to tell me

I remember when I was a monkey

You go to bed for a nap

Don't go sinking

There is no more, he already ordered me

That something on the ground would throw

And below the eaves

In a cuerito siestiara

Under the sleep of the nap

Everything was silent

And with the monkeys pa'l monte

In whore i' foot I escaped

CHORUS

How far is it now?

That missed childhood

I would like mom send me

That in a cuerito he would nap

It seems like it was now

When my mom ordered

That a little boss did him

I rumbaba to the grumbling

If she found me at the monkeys

that they played balls

The bag of groceries

At a little cost it remained

I took out my terita

And if for that I won

Like a little nest i 'boyero

My pocket was left

CHORUS

How far is it now?

That missed childhood

I would like mom send me

That in a cuerito he would nap
