Padre Ejemplar

They call me on my cell phone and give me the news that a child is in very bad shapeMe llaman al celular y me dan la noticia que hay un niño muy mal

They call me on my cell phone and give me the news that a child is in very bad shapeMe llaman al celular y me dan la noticia que hay un niño muy mal
He is barely fifteen years old and is admitted to a hospitalTiene apenas quince años y se encuentra internado dentro de un hospital
A friend told me that he was found druggedQue lo hallaron drogado me comenta un amigo
He was lying on the side of a road with his arms punctured and a lit cigaretteQue estaba tirado a orillas de un camino con los brazos pinchados y un fasito prendido
Because I wanted to flyPorque quería volar

It has to do with me. I ask my friend and he can't answerTiene que ver conmigo le pregunto a mi amigo y no puede contestar
His throat tightens and silence falls because he cannot speakSe le anudo la garganta y el silencio se planta pòrque no puede hablar
She burst into tears and crying she told meRompe en llanto y llorando me dijo
He's crazy because that boy is your son-Loco anda porque ese niño ese es tu hijo
You left him, you abandoned him, you have to help himLo dejaste vos lo abandonaste lo tenes que ayudar
You have to help himLo tenes que ayudarr
And he flew as he wanted to flyY vole como el quería volar
I ran out and got to the hospitalSalí corriendo y llegue al hospital
And I found my son in bed and he was very sickY me encontré con mi hijo en la cama y el estaba muy mal
He was very badEl estaba muy mal
And I hugged him because I wanted to hug himY lo abrace porque lo quise abrazar
And I kissed him because I wanted to kiss himY lo bese porque lo quise besar
I took him in my armsLo tome entre mis brazos
And I told him here is your dadY le dije aquí esta tu papa
Here is your dadAquí esta tu papa

Since then I can't leave itDesde entonces no lo puedo dejar
Since that day I am an exemplary fatherDesde ese día soy un padre ejemplar
He is recovering and is very happySe recupera y esta muy contento
Of having a dadDe tener un papá
