Cuando se llega a viejo

Son, listen to this advice
You're right, I'm an old man
Maybe I'm starting to bother
I also had your years
And the many disappointments are what make me speak today

Look at me, I am your mirror
One day you will get old, and you will understand late
That your life was a story
And you could have written it
To win or lose

And if you think I have failed
Don't make the same mistakes
Prepare yourself, study hard
And look for better paths

For you, son

Because now you are going to play the love of your life
But throwing yourself as a bet
Prepare yourself, count on me
You are young, you can do it and it costs you nothing
Just avoid falling into vices
Because the addicted goes nowhere
See how many young people get lost
And with their misfortune, others amass immense fortunes
I just want you to succeed, son
What's wrong with that
Understand me
The road of life is long
And that road has no return

And if you think I have failed
Don't make the same mistakes
Prepare yourself, study hard
And look for better paths
