Para Mi Hijo

I have failed
I said I would quit drugs when my son was born
And I haven't
I accept that I have failed

My will is strong, but life's blows
Have left me dazed
I don't know what has happened to me
Why do I go out seeking happiness?

If at home is where I've always had it by my side
I accept that I have failed
The things I said I would never do
Are the same ones that have disappointed me

I know I'm not a perfect being
But I think I have too many flaws
To the people who love me without realizing
They are the ones I affect the most

Maybe they don't like my appearance
I accept that I'm worse than an insect
Many people expect things from me
While I just wait to feel the effect

Addict
Because of the vice, I've gotten into so many conflicts
Fights won are never good
No matter how hard you try, you won't come out unscathed

I just want to tell my son
Not to be like his old man (dad)
That I try to sort out my life
But it turned out to be a riddle

I never listened to what daddy told me
And I wouldn't want you to do the same
I wouldn't want to see you like me, lost in an abyss
I only want the best for you

I hope one day you understand me
I know I've failed you, things of the past
Everything I've seen is what has made me like this
I fear that one day you'll want to follow my steps

Because I'm a complete failure
I only ask for your forgiveness, my son, I love you
Come, give me a hug
I want you to know that I would never abandon you
One day you'll understand along with this melody

And if one day I find myself far away
Remember that the old man will always be with you
If you want to see me, just look in the mirror
And remember each of my pieces of advice
I leave it in your hands

And if one day I find myself far away
Remember that the old man will always be with you
If you want to see me, just look in the mirror
And remember each of my pieces of advice
I leave it in your hands
