A Mi Viejo Lyrics English Translation by Santa Fe Klan
When my father
Left this world
I no longer knew what sadness was
My whole universe was shaken
Because you think that life is eternal
This pain can’t be compared to anything
I wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy
To lose the father who gave me life
A feeling that tears your soul apart
The great wealth that my old man gave me
Is his advice and his teachings
Sincere love that no one else offers you
Nothing exists that can surpass it
(With feeling)
(I miss you, Dad)
(I need you so much)
(I dedicate this to you, all the way to heaven)
Beautiful memories of those mornings
Very early he would get up
With his slow, tired little steps
He was already dragging his little feet
Great lessons that life gives us
In this world, we’re just passing through
Don’t wait until your old folks are gone
Love them while they’re alive, once dead you are nothing
The great wealth that my old man gave me
Is his advice and his teachings
Sincere love that no one else offers you
Nothing exists, nothing can surpass it
(I miss you, Dad)
(And up with Monterrey)
(Guanajuato)
