Father, I've been thinking,Padre, estuve pensando,
That speaking now will be more sensible,Que hablar ahora será más cuerdo,
Than leaving the words,Que dejar las palabras,
Stored for memory,Almacenadas para el recuerdo,
That if I come now,Que si yo vengo ahora,
If I have summoned you for this meeting,Si te he citado para este encuentro,
It's because I want, father,Es porque quiero padre,
For you to know my feelings.Que tú conozcas mis sentimientos.

Many times it seems,Muchas veces parece,
That only silence surrounds us,Que nos envuelve solo el silencio,
That I don't see your anxietiesQue no veo tus angustias
And you don't know about my stumbles,Y tú no sabes de mis tropiezos,
That we insist,Que nos empecinamos,
On always appearing very distant,En parecer siempre muy ajenos,
As if it were ugly,Como si fuera feo,
For someone to know that we love each other.Que alguien supiera que nos queremos.

Father, some time ago I knew,Padre, hace un tiempo supe,
That you were not God and you made mistakes.Que no eras dios y te equivocabas.
Father, some time ago I knew,Padre, hace un tiempo supe,
That sometimes you cried aloneQue alguna vez a solas llorabas
And that made me feel,Y eso hizo que te sienta,
Much closer to you than before,Mucho más cerca de mí que antes,
I love you father and I need you,Yo te quiero padre y te necesito,
I want to be your friend.Quiero ser tu amigo.

Father, we were both born,Padre, los dos nacimos,
In times that are so different,En tiempos que son tan diferentes,
Different customs,Son otras las costumbres,
Different voices, different people,Otras las voces, otras la gente,
I live this present,Yo vivo este presente,
Which is so different from your past,Que es tan distinto de tu pasado,
Both of us improvise,Los dos improvisamos,
But what a pity so separated.Pero qué pena tan separados.

I know well that you would,Se bien que tú quisieras,
Want to prevent me from making mistakesEvitar que yo cometa errores
And that from me you receive,Y que de mi te lleguen,
Only joys, not sorrows.Solo alegrías, no sinsabores.
Father, I am your work,Padre, yo soy tu obra,
I am your tomorrow, I am your hope.Soy tu mañana, soy tu esperanza.
Father, if you don't trust me,Padre, si en mi no fías,
It's because you don't have confidence in yourself.Es que no tienes en ti confianza.

Father, some time ago I knew,Padre, hace un tiempo supe,
That you were not God and you made mistakes.Que no eras dios y te equivocabas.
Father, some time ago I knew,Padre, hace un tiempo supe,
That sometimes you cried aloneQue alguna vez a solas llorabas
And that made me feel,Y eso hizo que te sienta,
Much closer to you than before,Mucho más cerca de mí que antes,
I love you father and I need you,Yo te quiero padre y te necesito,
I want to be your friend.Quiero ser tu amigo.
