A Mi Viejo
Santa Fe Klan
To My Old Man
When my father
Left this world
I didn’t know what sadness was
The whole universe shifted for me, oh
Because you think life is eternal
This pain can’t compare to anything
I wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy
Losing the father who gave me life
A feeling that tears the soul apart
The great wealth my old man gave me
Is his advice and his teachings
Sincere love that no one else offers
Nothing can surpass it
(With feeling)
(I miss you, Dad)
(I need you so much)
(I dedicate this to you, up in heaven)
Beautiful memories of those mornings
He would wake up very early
With his slow, tired steps
His little feet dragging along
Big lessons that life gives us
In this world, we’re just passing through
Don’t wait until your parents are gone
You love them while they’re alive, dead you’re nothing
The great wealth my old man gave me
Is his advice and his teachings
Sincere love that no one else offers
Nothing can surpass it
(I miss you, Dad)
(And up with Monterrey)
