A Juan Carlos Saravia

On the outside is tenderness, pure smilePor fuera es la ternura es la sonrisa pura
like few greatness that bring their suncomo pocas grandeza que acercan su sol
inside the pains of so many hardshipspor dentro los dolores de tantos quebrantos
guarded very quietly in his heartguardados muy callados en su corazón
example of mother and fatherejemplo de madre y padre
with his five seeds he was left alonecon sus cinco semillas solito quedó

He pampered Carolina for being the only daughterMimaba a Carolina por ser la única hija
followed by Facundo, Santiago, and Don Juanseguida por Facundo, Santiago y Don Juan
could not contain himself in his eagerness to be a fatherno pudo contenerse en su afán de ser padre
and after a few years Sebastian was borny al cabo de unos años nació Sebastián
kids won't fightchicos no van a pelearse
to calm down they will give each other kissespara desenojarse besos se darán

ChorusEstribillo

Sweet seas of love sail his interiorDulces mares de amor navegan su interior
you will always be the reflectionsiempre serás el reflejo
of that old secret of love and friendshipde aquel viejo secreto de amor y amistad
if there are great ones among the greatsi hay grandes entre los grandes
fathers like my father have a placepadres como mi padre tienen un lugar

He wanted to rebuild his life by bringing MargaritaQuiso rehacer su vida trayendo a Margarita
he arrived with San Antonio and his gentlenessllegó con San Antonio y con su suavidad
and although the stork was restingy aunque ella la cigüeña estaba descansando
a red-haired boy came to leave usun niño colorado nos vino a dejar
who has your same gesturesque tiene tus mismos gestos
buys you with a kiss and wants to imitate youte compra con un beso y te quiere imitar

I would like to thank you personallyQuisiera agradecerte yo particularmente
for lighting your lights in my darknesspor encender tus luces en mi oscuridad
for making me your friend, for giving me shelterpor sentirme tu amigo por darme el abrigo
for not leaving me alone in adversitypor no dejarme solo ante la adversidad
and with a guitar in between you made mey guitarra de por medio me hiciste
Chalchalero, how proud it makes meChalchalero que orgullo me da
