I will always be that kid from the roads,
The rabbits' best friend,
This little girl from the weeds
Who falls down and then giggles
I will always be that kid from the ferns,
The youngster playing in the earth,
The little girl with the butterflies
Getting stung on the hedgehogs' spikes
I will always be the grasshoppers' girl,
The ladybugs' good friend,
The birdsong little girl
Hiding among the reeds
I will always the kid that ran
Into the forest through the fields,
In the sunflower rows
Who falls down and then giggles
Among a busy crowd,
Crushes and crossroads,
From my apartment's window,
And towers on the horizon
During the subway rush hours,
Jolts and points,
In a rear-view mirror's glass,
Among the traffic jams,
In the seriousness of opinions
Of arguments and strategies,
From timetables to reunions
If that's what it's about,
Backs to pack again, my stuff,
Of my recorded luggage
Between the jet lag
Of my departures, my arrivals
I will always be that kid from the roads,
The rabbits' best friend,
This little girl from the weeds
Who falls down and then giggles
I will always be that kid from the ferns,
The youngster playing in the earth,
The little girl with the butterflies
Getting stung on the hedgehogs' spikes
I will always be the grasshoppers' girl,
The ladybugs' good friend,
The birdsong little girl
Hiding among the reeds
I will always the kid that ran
Into the forest through the fields,
In the sunflower rows
Who falls down and then giggles
On the sidewalks of another world,
At the feet of the same business-driven parts of town,
Hallways stretches getting blurred into one,
In memory of my lightning-fast visits
Of my too classy hotel rooms,
From the taxis to the train stations,
Long peripheral tunnels,
Avenues and boulevards
On the edge of vertigo and skyscrapers,
Appointments, chatting
In the great cities, without what's essential
When concrete cages you in
From my days spent way off the mark,
Like a stranger without landmarks
Taking refuge in the parks
To pretend I'm getting some fresh air
I will always be that kid from the roads,
The rabbits' best friend,
This little girl from the weeds
Who falls down and then giggles
I will always be that kid from the ferns,
The youngster playing in the earth,
The little girl with the butterflies
Getting stung on the hedgehogs' spikes
I will always be the grasshoppers' girl,
The ladybugs' good friend,
The birdsong little girl
Hiding among the reeds
I will always the kid that ran
Into the forest through the fields,
In the sunflower rows
Who falls down and then giggles
I will always be that kid from the roads,
The rabbits' best friend,
This little girl from the weeds
Who falls down and then giggles
