Mi adolescente

Don't you worry 'bout your curly hair
Clothes that don't quite fit you anywhere
Voices echo in the gym
Another girl's had her first kiss
Please don't think too much of it, darling

I'm so sorry that they pick you last
Try to say your foreign name and laugh
I know that you feel loud, so different from the crowd
Of big blue eyes, and long blonde hair, and boys that stare
But, baby, know that

La adolescencia duele. Quisiera ser siempre esa compañía que necesitas. 
Es una etapa de construcción, de búsqueda. Quisiera ser la voz interior que te anima y motiva.
Que encuentres quien eres y no pierdas tu esencia. 

You'll grow up
And grow so tough and charm them
Write your story, fall in love a little too
The things you thought you'd never do

I wish I could go back and give her a squeeze
Myself at thirteen
And just let her know, know that she's beautiful

Es el momento de tener ideales altos y pelear por ellos. Forjar en la adolescencia el norte que guiará tus pasos. Quisiera que veas el mundo con tus ojos, y lo interpretes a tu manera, que lo vivas como solo tú puedes.  

Keep on going with your silly dream
Life is prettier than it may seem
One day, you'll be up on stage
Little girls will scream your name
The days of tears and failure fears
And no one cares
Will all make sense, 'cause

Debes ir conociéndote para reconocerte. Quisiera que no tengas miedo a ser tú. 
Sí, mi querido adolescente, vuela alto. Yo quiero seguir disfrutando la vida contigo.

You'll grow up
And grow so confident, and
Write your story, fall in love a little too
The things you thought you'd never do
I wish I could go back and give her a squeeze
Myself at thirteen
And just let her know, know that she's beautiful

Ooh -
