Quería subir esta canción para el día de la madre en Perú (segundo domingo de mayo) pero no pudo ser. De todas maneras el día de la madre se celebra en diferentes fechas alrededor del mundo y rendirles homenaje no es cosa de un solo día, así que aquí tienen la canción =)
Song / canción: Una Carta al Cielo (A Letter to the Sky)
Writer / compositor: Salvador Oda
Singer / cantante: Lucha Reyes
Musical style / estilo musical: vals peruano (peruvian waltz)
English translation
Taking a poor boy
by his hand
to meet the sergeant,
a man showed up at the police station
"The world is doomed!"
he said all worked up
"I bring this boy to you
who is very young, yet a thief"
"Calm down and take a seat.
It's pointless to shake him more.
Whta is it he has stolen?"
said the authority.
"He stole a ball of wool
from one of my stores;
that's why he deserves
to be punished without mercy."
The authority asks:
"Tell me little, dirty face
if it is true what he's saying
and stop crying."
The kid answers:
"It's true, my sergeant.
I stole a ball of wool
to send..
my white kite
to the blue sky
where my beloved mom
has gone to.
Don't you see a letter
attached to my toy?
Forgive me for trying
to use it to ask:
Why beautiful mommy?
Why did you go so far away?
Leaving me so alone
with just my poor daddy."
