The Father

El Padre

It was that day he woke upFue ese dia que desperto
when he realizedcuando se dio cuenta
that he had becomeque se convirtio
what bothered him the most.en lo que mas a el le molestaba.
Suddenly he discoveredDe repente descubrio
that he was thinkingque estaba pensando
just like his fatherigualito que su padre
in the old house.en la casa de antaño.
Since then when he speaksDesde entonces al hablar
he discovers ideasse descubre ideas
that just yesterdayque apenas ayer
were not yet in his head.no estaban aun en su cabeza.
Now he prefers to stay silentAhora prefiere callar
to get used tohasta acostrumbrarse a
the voice that will come outque la voz que le saldra
is the same as his father's.es la misma que su padre.
He runs to the mirrorCorre hacia el espejo
look at that wrinklemirate esa arruga
you are becomingte estas convirtiendo
the one who gives you the most hatred.en quien mas odio a ti te da.
People look at him the sameLa gente lo mira igual
and he feels differenty el se siente otro
discovering the whole worlddescubriendo el mundo entero
from other eyes.desde otros ojos.
They are afraid that in the endTienen miedo que al final
tomorrowel dia de mañana
from this hatred and this changede este odio y este cambio
he won't remember anything.no recuerde nada.
(repeat the notes)(se repiten las notas)
He runs to the mirror...Corre hacia el espejo...
