In the hallway of that old house

dreams a little child.

She is sitting alone

she asks and imagines

she plays and speaks,

with some characters

that she imagined.

In the hallway of that old house,

a girl is dreaming.

She hears, discusses,

sings and amuses.

She is only a child

six years old.

In the hallways of that old house,

Dreams a little girl.

But that little girl

grew up.

The time passed.

Today is a woman,

and the old dreams

she never reached it.

Where are those dreams-

In the hallway of that old house,

dreams a little child.

How many dreams

she has lost-

Maybe, if we look for it

they will be there, yet.

In the hallway of that old house,

a little child dreams.
