Father and Mother

Padre y Madre

Sit down, my son, I need to talk to youSiéntate hijo mío necesito hablarte
Today I dared to share what my life has been likeHoy me atreví a contarte lo que ha sido de mi vida
It’s been really tough before you were bornTodo ha sido muy duro antes de que nacieras
But then you came and filled me with joyPero llegaste tú y me llenaste de alegría

I was just a girl with dreams and hopesYo era solo una niña con sueños e ilusiones
A handsome guy came into my life, igniting my passionsUn hombre lindo llegó a mi vida despertando mis pasiones
Kiss after kiss made me lose my mindBeso tras beso hicieron que perdiera hasta la razón
I forgot my parents' advice, passion took overOlvidé los consejos de mis padres, me envolvió la pasión

I found out you were coming, I felt like I was in hellMe enteré que tu vendrías, un infierno presentía
How will I face my parents? It’s so sad to disappoint themComo enfrentaré a mis padres, que tristeza defraudarlos
I was everything to themYo era todo para ellos
I was their whole lifeYo era su vida

But I had to face the worldPero debí enfrentar el mundo
I went to him firstFui primero donde él
Your father got madTu padre se ha enojado
He said: He can’t be bornDijo: Él no puede nacer
It broke my heartMe desgarró el corazón
He refused to help meA ayudarme se negó
But I wanted to have youPero yo quería tenerte
You were my whole dreamTú eras toda mi ilusión

Don’t cry, my son, let me hug youNo llores hijo mío déjame abrazarte
I know you ask a lot about who your father isSé que mucho preguntas quién será tu padre
If he never cared, why should you?Si él nunca se preocupó, qué te preocupa a ti
I’m your father and mother, and you mean everything to meSoy tu padre y madre, y tú eres todo para mí

You and I were lucky, my parents accepted youTú y yo tuvimos suerte mis padres te aceptaron
At first, it hit them hard, but in the end, they supported meAl principio les dio muy duro, pero al fin me apoyaron
See how much your grandparents love you with all their heartsYa vez como te quieren tus abuelos con todo el corazón
Many are thrown out on the street without any compassionA muchas las echan a la calle sin tener compasión

I found out you were coming, I felt like I was in hellMe enteré que tú vendrías, un infierno presentía
How will I face my parents? It’s so sad to disappoint themComo enfrentaré a mis padres, que tristeza defraudarlos
I was everything to themYo era todo para ellos
I was their whole lifeYo era su vida

But I had to face the worldPero debí enfrentar el mundo
I didn’t know what to doYo no sabía qué hacer
Your father got madTu padre se ha enojado
He didn’t want to see you growNo quiso verte crecer
But don’t hold a grudgePero no guardes rencor
God sees all of thisTodo esto lo ve Dios
He hasn’t let us downEl no nos ha hecho falta
And you don’t need that guy eitherY tú tampoco a ese señor

Son, don’t be sadHijo no te pongas triste
Hold your head up, my loveAlza la frente mi amor
Let’s move forwardSalgamos adelante
That’s what we’re here for, just the two of us.Para eso estamos los dos
