Song to My Old Man

Canto a Mi Viejo

I drink and cry in silenceBebo y lloro en silencio
From uncertainty and painDe incertidumbre y martirio
I want to make it up to my old manQuiero enmendarle a mi viejo
For all this time with meTodo este tiempo conmigo

I owe him so much that if I couldLe debo tanto que si pudiera
Pay back the tears he's shed for mePagarle el llanto que ha derramado por mí
He's my old man for whom I liveEs mi viejo por quien yo vivo
To whom I owe warmth and shelterA quien le debo calor y abrigo
In my home, he's both father and friendEs en mi hogar padre y amigo

I would die of sorrowMe moriría de pena
If one day I stopped seeing himSi un día dejara de verlo
How would I walk this pathCómo seguir esta senda
If my old man were goneSi me faltara mi viejo

You can see all the weariness on his faceSe ve en su rostro todo el cansancio
Time has passed, and so have the yearsLe pasó el tiempo, también los años
You are my example, I am your giftTú eres mi ejemplo, yo tu regalo
My old man, with white hairMi padre viejo, cabello blanco
In my song, I swear how much I love youEn mi cantar te juro cuánto te amo

You can see all the weariness on his faceSe ve en su rostro todo el cansancio
Time has passed, and so have the yearsLe pasó el tiempo, también los años
You are my example, I am your giftTú eres mi ejemplo, yo tu regalo
My old man, with white hairMi padre viejo, cabello blanco
In my song, I swear how much I love youEn mi cantar te juro cuánto te amo
In my song, I swear how much I love youEn mi cantar te juro cuánto te amo
