Ausencia de Un Padre

Absence of a Father

Ausencia de Un Padre

Sometimes I wish, to know about my dadAveces quisiera, saber de mi padre
Sit on his lap, be able to talkSentarme en sus piernas, poder conversar
To my mother always, I usually askA mi madre siempre, suelo preguntar
If one day my dad, will be able to come backSi algún día mi padre, podrá regresar
At night I look, always at the starsDe noche yo miro, siempre las estrellas
And dream of that day, to hug my dadY sueño aquel día, mi padre abrazar

Listen my son, to every wordEscucha hijo mío, bien cada palabra
I am the one who calls, and sometimes doesn't speakYo soy el que llama, y aveces no habla
I know they have lied to you, for many reasonsSe que te han mentido, por muchas razones
I don't blame your mother, she will knowNo culpo a tu madre, ella lo sabrá
Don't doubt my little one, that I love youNo dudes hijito, que yo a ti te amor
And how much I wish to be by your sideY cuanto quisiera a tu lado estar

I want you to tell me dad why you left meQuiero que me cuentes padre porque me has dejado
Alone with my mother I wish to be by your sideSolo con mi madre quisiera estar a tu lado

That's life, strange and whimsicalEs que así es la vida, rara y caprichosa
I had to leave, there were many thingsMe tuve que ir, fueron muchas cosas
That you, being a child, still won't understandQue tu por ser niño aún no lo entenderás
But from my soul no one will be able to tear you awayPero de mi alma nadie te podrá arrancar

My mother has always fought with meMi madre conmigo desde siempre a luchado
But she also cries when I have asked about youPero también llora cuando por ti eh preguntado

I have to pay for my mistakesYo por mis errores, tengo que pagar
For I couldn't escape from justicePues de la justicia, no pude escapar
I only ask God to be able to return soonSolo pido a Dios pronto poder regresar
But from my soul no one will be able to tear you awayPero de mi alma nadie te podrá arrancar
