No Basta
No basta traerlos al mundo
Porque es obligatorio
Porque son la base del matrimonio
O porque te equivocaste en la cuenta
No basta con llevarlos
A la escuela a que aprendan
Porque la vida cada vez es más dura
Ser lo que tu padre no pudo ser
No basta que de afecto
Tú le has dado bien poco
Todo por culpa del maldito trabajo
Y del tiempo
No basta porque cuando quiso
Hablar de un problema
Tú le dijiste niño: "será mañana
Es muy tarde, estoy cansado"
No basta comprarle todo
Lo que quiso comprarse
El auto nuevo antes de graduarse
Que viviera lo que tú no has vivido
No basta con creerse
Un padre excelente
Porque eso te dice la gente
A tus hijos nunca les falta nada
No basta porque cuando quiso
Hablarte de sexo
Se te subieron los colores al rostro
Y te fuiste
No basta porque de haber
Tenido un problema
Lo habia resuelto comprando en la esquina
Lo que había, lo que había
No basta con comprarle curiosos objetos
No basta cuando lo que necesita es afecto
Aprender a dar valor a las cosas
Por que tú no le serás eterno
No basta castigarlo por haber llegado tarde
Si no has caido ya tu chico es un hombre
Ahoras más alto y más fuerte que tú
Que tú...
It's Not Enough
It's not enough to bring them into this world
Just because it's expected
Because they're the foundation of marriage
Or because you messed up the math
It's not enough to take them
To school so they can learn
Because life keeps getting tougher
To be what your father couldn't be
It's not enough that you show affection
You've given so little
All because of that damn job
And the time
It's not enough because when they wanted
To talk about a problem
You told them, kid: "We'll do it tomorrow
It's too late, I'm tired"
It's not enough to buy them everything
They wanted to get
The new car before graduation
To live what you never lived
It's not enough to think
You're an excellent dad
Just because that's what people say
Your kids never lack for anything
It's not enough because when they wanted
To talk to you about sex
You turned red in the face
And you walked away
It's not enough because if they had
A problem
You thought it was solved by buying on the corner
What was there, what was there
It's not enough to buy them curious things
It's not enough when what they need is affection
Learning to value things
Because you won't be there forever
It's not enough to punish them for being late
If you haven't realized, your boy is a man now
He's taller and stronger than you
Than you...
