Mi Viejo
Alberto Cortez
My Old Man
My old man is a good guy
Who walks alone and waiting
He has a long sadness
From so much coming and going
I look at him from afar
But we are so different
He grew up with the century
With tram and red wine
Old man, my dear old man
Now you walk slowly
As if forgiving the wind
I am your blood, my old man
I am your silence and your time
He has good eyes and a heavy figure
Age caught up with him
Without carnival
Or parade
I have the new years
My father has the old years
He carries the pain inside
And has timeless stories
Old man, my dear old man
Now you walk slowly
As if forgiving the wind
I am your blood, my old man
I am your silence and your time
I am your blood, my old man
