La Mentira De Un Padre
Era un dia de tantos, un viernes a la tarde
le dijo a su padre te quiero algo contar
al salir de la escuela me ha pasado una cosa
una señora hermosa me vino a saludar
me aconsejó que estudie, que nunca falte a clase
que me cuide en la calle, que te obedesca a ti
y con un fuerte abrazo y con un beso al fin
me dijo tengo un hijo muy parecido a ti.
Padre, tu me enseñaste que jamas debo mentir
que solamente la verdad debo decir
tu me juraste que mi madre un dia murio
y que entre ustedes hubo siempre mucho amor.
Padre yo no te juzgo ni a mi madre juzgaré,
lo que pasó entre ustedes dos respetaré
pero ni tu ni nadie me podrá negar
que al salir de la escuela
yo la he visto a mi mamá.
The Lie of a Father
It was just another day, a Friday afternoon
He told his father, 'I want to tell you something'
When leaving school, something happened to me
A beautiful lady came to greet me
She advised me to study, never miss class
To take care in the streets, to obey you
And with a strong hug and a kiss at last
She said, 'I have a son very similar to you'
Father, you taught me never to lie
That I should only speak the truth
You swore to me that my mother died one day
And that there was always a lot of love between you
Father, I won't judge you or my mother
I will respect what happened between you two
But neither you nor anyone can deny me
That when leaving school
I saw my mom
