A Mi Abuela

To My Grandmother

A Mi Abuela

The one who always spoils meLa que siempre me consiente
The one who always protects meLa que siempre me protege
That when I misbehaveQue cuando Me porto mal
Doesn't let them hit meNo deja que me pegan
The one who is always presentLa que siempre está presente
Shows that she loves meDemuestra que me quiere
She cares about my well-beingSe preocupa por mi bien
With me, she is accommodatingCon migo es complaciente

Grandma, even though I don't alwaysAbuelita aunque no todo el tiempo
Tell you, you are important to meTe lo diga para mi eres importante
I can't imagine what I would doNo imagino que aria
If one day in my life I didn't have youSi algún día en mi vida ya no te tendría
I don't even want to imagine because I knowNi deseo imaginarlo porqué se
I would cryQue lloraria

I know a couple of friendsSe que un par de amigos
Have lost their grandmothersHan perdido a su abuela
If you were to leave as I grow upSi al crecer te marcharás
I would prefer to stay smallPrefiero seguir pequeña
Don't leave me aloneNo me dejes sola
I want you to stayQuiero que permanezcas
If it's not too much to askSi no es mucho pedir
I ask God that you be eternalPido a Dios que seas eterna
That you meet your great-grandchildrenQué conozcas tus bisnietos
And also your great-great-grandchildrenTambién tataranietos
That the love you give meQue el cariño que me das
You give to all of themSe los des a todos ellos
That they can enjoy youQue puedan disfrutarte
For a long timeAsí por mucho tiempo
That you be the grandmotherQue seas la abuelita
Who knows manyQue se sabe muchos

May the years go by and you be by my sideQue pasen los años y estés a mi lado

May the years go by and we can celebrate themQue pasen los años y podamos celebrarlos

Your smile and your gazeTú sonrisa y tú mirada
Are engraved in my soulEn mi alma están marcadas
I want your presenceQuiero que tu presencia
To be reflected becauseSe vea rreflejada pues
I don't want that one dayNo quiero que algún Día
Grandma, you leave meAbuelita te me vallas
And I have to only observe youY solo en mi recuerdo
In my memoriesTenga que observarlas
