El Huerfadrino

It all started with a barbecue at my house
Me in my mother's belly and my dad with his friends
After a long afternoon with a lot of wine
My dad hugs one of them and says affectionately

I've known you for a short time, but I know you're a good guy
A child is on the way and needs a godfather

It's an honor for me that we're now compadres
Now open another bottle and let's toast until Tuesday

After a couple of years, the earth swallowed the guy
Not even a letter, not even a telegram
It's the things of destiny, now I'm the godfather

Godfather, I don't know my godfather
It's the things of destiny, listen to what I tell you
They call me the Godfather
Rojai!

Missionary in Swaziland, terrorist or peasant
Selling cars in Albania, what will become of my godfather?
Will he be fat or thin, will he be one-eyed or Chinese?
Will he look like Marlon Brando or Al Pacino?
I just hope that one day, he crosses my path
I don't even know his name, what do I say to him?

Is he in prison in Ukraine or was he run over by a Scania?
Was he Hannibal's dinner or eaten by a cannibal?
It's the things of destiny, now I'm the Godfather

Over time, I've learned that it doesn't matter
I don't feel like a stranger, I just don't have a godfather

Godfather, I don't know my godfather
It's the things of destiny, listen to what I tell you
They call me the Godfather
Rojai!
