Padre Querido
Has sido un padre amoroso y comprensivo
Por que eres bueno y el mejor de los amigos
Has sido un hombre que no se da por vencido
Humilde como pocos y muy agradecido
Has sido grande con un corazón de niño
Por ser tú mismo tu vida tiene sentido
Has sido pobre y sin embargo has compartido
El alma entera y así te has enriquecido
Padre querido como te admiro
Por ser más transparente que el cristal
Padre querido por ti he aprendido
A cultivar un lazo de amistad
Padre querido cuento contigo
Si acaso necesito platicar
Padre querido te he comprendido
Y tienes mucho más por enseñar
Has sido grande con un corazón de niño
Por ser tú mismo tu vida tiene sentido
Has sido pobre y sin embargo has compartido
El alma entera y así te has enriquecido
Padre querido como te admiro
Por ser más transparente que el cristal
Padre querido por ti he aprendido
A cultivar un lazo de amistad
Padre querido cuento contigo
Si acaso necesito platicar
Padre querido te he comprendido
Y tienes mucho más por enseñar
Beloved Father
You have been a loving and understanding father
Because you are good and the best of friends
You have been a man who never gives up
Humble like few and very grateful
You have been great with a childlike heart
For being yourself, your life makes sense
You have been poor and yet you have shared
Your whole soul and thus you have enriched yourself
Beloved father, how I admire you
For being more transparent than crystal
Beloved father, from you I have learned
To cultivate a bond of friendship
Beloved father, I count on you
If I ever need to talk
Beloved father, I have understood you
And you have much more to teach
You have been great with a childlike heart
For being yourself, your life makes sense
You have been poor and yet you have shared
Your whole soul and thus you have enriched yourself
Beloved father, how I admire you
For being more transparent than crystal
Beloved father, from you I have learned
To cultivate a bond of friendship
Beloved father, I count on you
If I ever need to talk
Beloved father, I have understood you
And you have much more to teach
