Lyrics of De Niña a Mujer - Julio Iglesias

De Niña a Mujer (original)

Eras niña de largos silencios
y ya me querías bien
tu mirada buscaba la mía
jugabas a ser mujer.
Pocos años ganados al tiempo,
vestidos con otra piel,
y mi vida que nada esperaba
también te quería bien.
Te extrañaba ya tanto
que al no verte a mi lado
ya soñaba con volverte a ver
y entretanto te estaba inventando
de niña a mujer.
Y esa niña de largos silencios
volaba tan alto que
mi mirada quería alcanzarla
y no la podía ver.
La paraba en el tiempo pensando
que no debería crecer,
pero el tiempo me estaba engañando
mi niña se hacía mujer.
La quería ya tanto
que al partir de mi lado
ya sabía que la iba a perder
y es que el alma le estaba cambiando
de niña a mujer.

(translation)

You were a girl of long silences
and you already loved me
your look was looking for mine
you played at being a woman
Few years gained at the time,
dressed in another skin,
and my life that expected nothing
I loved you too.
I missed you so much already
that not seeing you by my side
I already dreamed of seeing you again
and in the meantime I was inventing you
from girl to woman.
And that girl of long silences
she flew so high
my gaze wanted to reach her
and I couldn't see her.
She stopped her in time thinking
that she shouldn't grow up,
but time was playing tricks on me
my girl became a woman.
I loved her so much
that when you leave my side
I already knew that she was going to lose her
and it is that her soul was changing
from girl to woman.
