El Es Mi Apa

He is My Dad

El Es Mi Apa

Since I was a child I liked corridosDesde niño me guston los corrido
Listening to those songs provokes emotions in meEscuchae esas canciones me provocan emociones
Today I want to dedicate this corridoHoy le quiero dedicar este corrido
To a great man I've known since I was a childA un gran hombre que conosco desde niño

He wakes up very early from bedMuy temprano se levanta de ls cama
And gets ready for work, doesn't matter if it's SundayY se alista pa la chamba no le importa si es domingo
Loosening the roosters with the shovelAflojandose los gallos con ls pala
And forming them again with the gourdY formandolos de nuevo con el huigo

There goes your dad, says my momAhi va tu apa dise mi ama
Poor old man didn't have breakfastPobre viejo no alcanzo a desayunar
Go over there, take him breadVe para aya llevale pan
Because he might faint from hungerPor que de hambre se nos puede desmayar

In the afternoon when the sun shines directlyYa en la tarde cuando el sol pega de frente
With sweat on his cheeks, I see him coming slowlyCon sudor en los cachetes veo que viene despasito
When you come tired and hungryCuando vienes cansado y con apetito
With the wind against you, it doesn't feel very niceCon. Viento en contra no se siente muy bonito

At night, like everyone who worksYa en la noche como todo el que trabaja
Chatting and joking with his childrenPlaticando y vasilando con sus hijos
The anecdotes when they were littleLas anécdotas cuando estsna chico
Transported us to other towns, other placesNos transportaba a otros pueblos a otros sitios

He taught me to workEl me enseño a trabajar
It's the inheritance that could secure meEs la. Herencia que me pudo a asegurar
He is my dad, I want to clarifyEl es mi apa quiero aclarar
Whenever you want, I can introduce you to himCuando gusten se los puedo presentar
