Mi Querido Cascarrabias

My dear grouch
Today I come to greet you
And to claim that hug
That stayed in your lap
When I went out for a walk

I call you grouch
Although sometimes it's true
Like when I was a child
I say it with affection
You know it well, dad

May God not let me miss you
In the dawn of tomorrow
To see your figure
Resting by the window
Your advice has helped me
To climb a thousand mountains
That's why dear old man
May God bless your gray hair

I remember when I was a child
If you were going to punish me
I would hide behind the door
You would chase me through the garden
And also through the yard

So many years have passed
And I will never forget
Your words, your scoldings
That never harmed me
And truly guided me

May God not let me miss you
In the dawn of tomorrow
To see your figure
Resting by the window
Your advice has helped me
To climb a thousand mountains
That's why dear old man
May God bless your gray hair
