Viva El Viejo
Ya está viejo el viejo, decirlo es una dicha,
Y a dios agradezco, tenerlo aun con vida.
Verlo cada día, con su propio paso,
Andando caminos
Luce aun con fuerzas, firme como un roble.
Son más de cincuenta, los que en su piel recoge.
Voluntad de hierro y espíritu grande,
Que suerte que tengo, de ver a mi padre.
Con sus cosas buenas, y algunas no tanto
Confirma la regla, que errar es de humanos.
Ejemplo palpable, de tenacidad.
Viva el viejo, viva, por la eternidad.
Ha pagado el diezmo que los años cobran,
Ya no tiene el brío, que a los veinte sobra.
Ya dio la cuota que había quedado,
Hoy está tranquilo, se lo ve en paz.

Long Live the Old Man
The old man is already old, saying it is a joy,
And I thank God, to still have him alive.
Seeing him every day, at his own pace,
Walking paths
He still looks strong, as firm as an oak.
He has gathered more than fifty on his skin.
Iron will and great spirit,
How lucky I am to see my father.
With his good things, and some not so much
Confirms the rule, that to err is human.
Tangible example of tenacity.
Long live the old man, long live, for eternity.
He has paid the tithe that the years collect,
He no longer has the vigor that abounds at twenty.
He has already given the quota that was left,
Today he is calm, he is seen in peace.
He still looks strong, and firm as an oak.

Long live the old man! Long live! for eternity.

He no longer has the vigor that abounds at twenty.
He has already given the quota that was left,
Today he is calm, he is seen in peace.
