A Mi Padre

To My Father

A Mi Padre

Hey!¡Aye!
For all the dads in the world!¡Para todos los papis del mundo!
Hey!¡Aye!

It was you who always took care of me since I was a childFuiste tú quien desde niño siempre me ha cuidao'
If I fell, you lifted me upSi me he caído, tú me has levantado
You taught me how to liveTú me enseñaste a vivir

It was you who helped me find my wayHas sido tú quien me ayudo a encontrar mi camino
You are my father and also my friendEres mi padre y, aparte, mi amigo
I owe everything to youTodo te lo debo a ti

May you never be absentTú nunca me faltes
Because if you're not here, it's like I'm missing the airQue, si me faltas tú, es como si me falta el aire
I want to thank you for taking care of me so muchTe quiero dar las gracias por tanto cuidarme
Because of you, I keep going forwardPor ti yo sigo adelante

May you never be absentTú nunca me faltes
Because if you're not here, it's like I'm missing the airQue, si me faltas tú, es como si me falta el aire
I want to thank you for taking care of me so muchTe quiero dar las gracias por tanto cuidarme
Because of you, I keep going forwardPor ti yo sigo adelante
You are my fatherTú eres mi padre

You taught me to fight and pursue my dreamsMe enseñaste a luchar y a perseguir mis sueños
My dream was to sing since I was littleMi sueño era cantar desde que yo era pequeño
And now look at me, I'm living from thisY ahora mírame, estoy viviendo de esto
You told me to keep going, to put effort into itMe dijiste que siguiera, que le pusiera empeño

I am proud of you, you are my heroOrgulloso estoy de ti, para mí, eres mi héroe
Your words, your advice, I always keep them in mindTus palabras, tus consejos siempre los tengo presente
You told me that in life, friends come and goMe dijiste que en la vida los amigos van y vienen
You taught me to value and respect womenMe enseñaste a valorar y respetar a las mujeres

I know you sometimes suffer for not being able to see meSé que a veces sufres por no poderme ver
We barely see each other once a monthApenas nos vemos una vez al mes
But I think of you every secondPero yo te pienso a cada segundo

That's why I wanted to compose this songPor eso esta canción quise componer
From my own hand and words so you knowDe mi puño y letra pa' que sepas que
You will always be the best father in the worldSerás siempre el mejor padre del mundo

May you never be absentTú nunca me faltes
Because if you're not here, it's like I'm missing the airQue, si me faltas tú, es como si me falta el aire
I want to thank you for taking care of me so muchTe quiero dar las gracias por tanto cuidarme
Because of you, I keep going forwardPor ti yo sigo adelante

Because by your side, I am the happiest sonPorque, a tu lado soy, el hijo más feliz
I thank you by writing this letterTe doy las gracias escribiéndote esta letra
You are my guide and my will to liveEres mi guía y mis ganas de vivir
I would give everything, even my whole lifeDaría todo lo que fuera, hasta mi propia vida entera

May you never be absentTú nunca me faltes
Because if you're not here, it's like I'm missing the airQue, si me faltas tú, es como si me falta el aire
I want to thank you for taking care of me so muchTe quiero dar las gracias por tanto cuidarme
Because of you, I keep going forwardPor ti yo sigo adelante

May you never be absentTú nunca me faltes
Because if you're not here, it's like I'm missing the airQue, si me faltas tú, es como si me falta el aire
I want to thank you for taking care of me so muchTe quiero dar las gracias por tanto cuidarme
Because of you, I keep going forwardPor ti yo sigo adelante
You are my fatherTú eres mi padre

Dad, even though you are no longer with usPapi, aunque ya no estés entre nosotros
This song is for youEsta canción es para vos
You keep taking care of us from heavenQue nos seguís cuidando desde el cielo
