La Maleta Del Abuelo

I can't believe itNo puedo creer
What I found todayLo que hoy encontré
Searching through boxes I could see herBuscando entre cajas la pude ver
So old her skinTan vieja su piel
Saving moments, your faithful friendGuardando momentos, tu amiga fiel

Patent leather shoesZapatos de charól
A jar of starchUn bote de almidón
Three discs and an uncolored photoTres discos y una foto sin color
RazorNavaja de afeitar
His smoking pipeSu pipa de fumar
A girl's letter wrote to himLa carta de una chica le escribió

Columbus's mapEl mapa de colón
A brass shipUn barco de latón
His magnifying glass and his cardboard hatSu lupa y su sombrero de cartón
Treasures that you give me, without time or ageTesoros que me da, sin tiempo ni edad

CouldPude
Today I felt his lifeHoy su vida sentí
I knew he was always happySupe que fue siempre feliz
Pieces of an old childhoodTrozos de una antigua niñez
With the scent of licoriceCon olor a regaliz

Stories that we all three knowCuentos que sabemos los tres
Travels, adventures of yesterdayViajes, aventuras de ayer
It's your suitcase and meSomos su maleta y yo
Those who keepLas que guardan
The secrets of when I was not olderLos secretos de cuando no era mayor

A thousand hours to changeMil horas cambiar
Just like that without thinkingAsí sin pensar
I follow his journey by train and seaSigo su viaje por tren y mar
His story livedSu historia viví
I feel it so close to meLo siento tan cerca de mi
