A Mi Papa
Diomedes Díaz
To My Dad
I'm going to compose a merengue
To sing to dad
A man who lives there
Near the town
He who with his sweat
Gave me the size I have
And the son turned out good
And has been an example of him
And I hope you can see
Your reward, my old man
My dad is a healthy man
Who lives there in Carrizal
Carrizal is a farm
That is close to La Junta
La Junta is a beautiful town
Where Diomedes was born
Where everyone loves him
But all this is due
To the example of my old man
When he meets a friend
I notice him very happy
Remembering old times
Of his beautiful escapades
But the Virgin Mary
Has to take care of him
Be assured
That he can live peacefully
Don't worry, dad
Because here you have your son
Beautiful, she is the owner of my soul
When I go out to the farm
I bring him something
That he shares with his wife
Who happens to be my mom
She who has known how to take care of him
For over thirty years
And with the same enthusiasm
I still notice them
And there Diomedes Díaz was born
Where he has his support
