Cuando Yo Quería Ser Grande

They are getting lost in time
My years, they are getting very far away
My father no longer holds my hand
Only his advice

The memories of my childhood live in me
When I wished upon a star
How I remember my father
Who would smile at that
While my mother watched

Years that come slowly, at first
How slowly they progress
How I wanted to be big, I remember
So I wouldn't stay at home

And accompany my father far away
Maybe even to the end of the world
Because my father was strong
He was very intelligent, he was better than anyone

Today I don't want the years to pass
Because my father is already old
Wrinkles have covered his hands
And his hair is snowy

Oh, Lord, stop time, I ask you
Because You can do it
Because I truly don't understand
My God, why do we lose the good ones

When your steps grow tired
I want to be the one who takes care of them
In the meantime, give me your arm
And let's see what you're going to tell me
