Que Hermoso Mirarla Crecer

How Beautiful to Watch Her Grow

Que Hermoso Mirarla Crecer

There's nothing that inspires me moreNo hay nada que me inspire más
Than the soundQue el sonido
Of my guitarDe mi guitarra
And nothing that hurts me moreY nada que me duela más
Than seeingQue mirar
My little girl with tearsA mi pequeña con lágrimas

You should see how beautiful it is to watch her smileVieran qué hermoso es mirar sonreír
At the oneA quien más
She loves most in lifeSe ama en la vida
The pain that makes me cry nowEl dolor que ahora me hace llorar
Is because my loveEs porque mi amor
Has opened a woundMe ha abierto una herida

And has placed me in realityY me ha ubicado en la realidad
She’s no longer a childDejó de ser niña
Thinking for herselfPara pensar por sí misma

And even though it hurtsY aunque me duela
How beautiful to watch her growQué hermoso mirarla crecer
To hear her say what she thinksQue me diga lo que piensa
I have to understand herLa tengo que comprender

And even though it hurtsY aunque me duela
I’m no longer her whole worldYa no soy su mundo total
Now she chooses who she lovesAhora escoge a quien ama
She knows how to love and appreciateElla sabe amar y valorar

GodDios
Brought you into my lifeTe trajo a mi vida
And gave me the missionY me dio por misión
To take care of you when you were a childCuidarte cuando eras niña

To feed you when you asked for foodAlimentarte cuando pedías comida
And made me realizeY me hizo saber
That you weren’t my propertyQue no eras de mi propiedad
That you were simply my responsibilityQue, simplemente, eras mi responsabilidad

He also made me know that one dayMe hizo saber también que un día
You’d think, appreciate, and demand at the same timePensarías, valorarías, reclamarías al mismo tiempo
That you’d tell me my mistakesQue mis errores me dirías
But what he never told mePero, lo que nunca me dijo
What he never made me knowLo que nunca me hizo saber
Is that it would hurt so muchEs que me dolería tanto
To imagine you leaving as you growImaginarte partir al crecer

And even though it hurtsY aunque me duela
Now I’m just your dadAhora soy solo su papá
And oh, how much the old man complains!Y ay, ¡cuánto reniega el viejo!
He jokes about itMe lo dice en broma
But this is the realityPero esta es la realidad

Even though IAunque a mí
Don’t like it and it hurts meNo me guste y me duela
