Algo Le Pasa a Mi Héroe

Something is Happening to My Hero

Algo Le Pasa a Mi Héroe

Something is happening to my hero, something is happeningAlgo le pasa a mi héroe, algo le pasa
I only see an emptiness in his gazeTan solo veo un vacío en su mirada
Something is happening to my hero, he says nothingAlgo le pasa a mi héroe, no dice nada
He doesn't repeat the stories he used to tell meNo repite las historias que me contaba

Something is happening to my hero, he lost his strengthAlgo le pasa a mi héroe, perdió sus fuerzas
He no longer pronounces my name, he doesn't remember itYa no pronuncia mi nombre, no lo recuerda
Neither his body nor his mind are what they used to beNi su cuerpo ni su mente son lo que era
It seems like he's floating among the starsPareciera andar flotando por las estrellas

Unintentionally, he entered a worldSin querer entró en un mundo
Where there are no sorrows or gloriesDonde no hay penas ni glorias
Every step he takesCada paso que va dando
Erases a memoryVa borrando una memoria
I see that the tree of his lifeVeo que el árbol de su vida
Slowly loses its leavesPoco a poco se deshoja
And that oak that was strongY aquel roble que era fuerte
Collapses over the yearsCon los años se desploma

I talk to him about usYo le hablo de nosotros
About the things we experiencedDe las cosas que vivimos
That I have the same name as himQue tengo su mismo nombre
And carry his last nameY que llevo su apellido
That he gave me two siblingsQue me ha dado dos hermanos
I am deeply grateful to himQue le vivo agradecido
Because he has been the best fatherPorque ha sido el mejor padre
A child could haveQue pueda tener un hijo

He listens to me but doesn't speak to meÉl me escucha pero no me habla

Something is happening to my hero, where would he goAlgo le pasa a mi héroe, donde se iría
The one who was my example, my guideAquel que fuera mi ejemplo, que era mi guía
He has turned into a child, who would have thoughtSe ha convertido en un niño, quién lo diría
Now it's our turn to take care of him as he did for usAhora nos toca cuidarlo como él lo hacía

Unintentionally, he entered a worldSin querer entró en un mundo
Where there are no sorrows or gloriesDonde no hay penas ni glorias
Every step he takesCada paso que va dando
Erases a memoryVa borrando una memoria
I see that the tree of his lifeVeo que el árbol de su vida
Slowly loses its leavesPoco a poco se deshoja
And that oak that was strongY aquel roble que era fuerte
Collapses over the yearsCon los años se desploma

And my mother dedicates to himY mi madre le dedica
Every hour of her dayCada hora de su día
Keeping the promiseManteniendo la promesa
To love him for a lifetimeDe amarlo toda la vida
And the grandchildren are growing upY los nietos van creciendo
The family is getting biggerSe hace grande la familia
And if his eyes could speakY si sus ojos hablaran
He would surely saySeguramente diría
That he still knows usQue nos conoce todavía

Something is happening to my hero, something is happeningAlgo le pasa a mi héroe, algo le pasa
