MY OLD FATHER

Let me sit a while this is a long and good story
I still remember you smiling good times, such good times
But it seems the world turned
You left like a gentle breeze
In one minute my world stopped
Things lost their meaning the meaning
Something that makes us think why we're here
We're just passing through this world
Living learning and changing, changing with time
One day we'll grow old I'm sure I'll meet you again

Lost time old father
Unconditional love
The goodbye I couldn't give
My son, I'm going out and will be right back
A breath a memory
I still remember your face clearly every morning
You were such a dreamer
Never let this house lack anything

It's a pity you're not here now
To see your nieces growing up
They're already fourteen and four years old
The fourteen-year-old remains calm
But the light in her eyes changed after you left
The four-year-old is a storm
You would love her would laugh

I still cry like a child
Even though I'm already forty years old
I managed to graduate from college
You would be proud of me
But sometimes life is unfair to us
I wish you were here
To smile and play with them

It's a pity you're not here now
To see your nieces growing up
They're already fourteen and four years old
The fourteen-year-old remains calm
But the light in her eyes changed after you left
The four-year-old is a storm
You would love her would laugh

We would celebrate every day
We would live the time you only worked
And couldn't enjoy with your children
Now I have long hair and a big beard
Years have passed I'm getting older
And each day looking more like you

But don't worry
I'm here taking care of mom
And your nieces
I hope one day to meet you again
And smile once more

It's a pity you're not here now
To see your nieces growing up
They're already fourteen and four years old
But I'll tell them about their grandfather
The brave man I had as father

Goodbye, old father

I still keep that old wristwatch of yours

It still keeps your time
