Letras de As A Child - Suzanne Vega

As A Child (original)

As a child
You have a doll
You see this doll
Sitting in her chair
You watch her face
Her knees apart
Her eyes of glass
In a secretive stare
She seems to
She seems to
She seems to
Have a life
Pick up a stick
Dig up a crack
Dirt in the street
Becomes a town
All of the people
Depend on you
Not to hurt them
Or bang the stick comes down
And they seem to
They seem to
They seem to
Have a life
As a child
You see yourself
And wonder why
You can’t seem to move
Hand on the doorknob
Feel like a thing
One foot on the sidewalk
Too much to prove
And you learn to
You learn to
You learn to
Have a life

(traducción)

De pequeño
tienes una muñeca
Ves esta muñeca
Sentado en su silla
miras su rostro
sus rodillas separadas
Sus ojos de cristal
En una mirada secreta
ella parece
ella parece
ella parece
tener una vida
Recoge un palo
Excavar una grieta
Suciedad en la calle
se convierte en un pueblo
Toda la gente
Depende de ti
para no hacerles daño
O golpe el palo se cae
y parecen
parecen
parecen
tener una vida
De pequeño
te ves a ti mismo
y me pregunto por qué
Parece que no puedes moverte
Mano en el pomo de la puerta
Sentirse como una cosa
Un pie en la acera
Demasiado para probar
y aprendes a
aprendes a
aprendes a
tener una vida
