Viejo Mío

My Old Man
Memories run over me
Since that day you left
I couldn't find solace
When you said goodbye
I wanted you to stay
To give me your caresses
To always hear your voice
There was no one in the world
Who loved you so much
Who admired you
As I did
It hurt me that “I love you”
While tears fell
In that final goodbye
When I found myself alone
Without reasons and dreams
I heard in the silence
A soft and sweet voice
Telling me that he loved me
That his life had been given
On that cross of love
When everything was dark
When there was no hope
It was your love that found me
The pain that invaded me
You turned into joy
You filled me with forgiveness
You are the God of the impossible
You are that God of love
Who forgives my sins
And forgets my mistake
How can I not forgive
My father who is not here
Today I ask you, my good God
To bring him back again
Several years have passed
Since his departure
Although I am no longer a child
I still miss him
I pray and beg for his life
So that, just like me
He can know you
I don't give up and continue
I cling to the promise
That he will also know
My God, whom I serve
My Lord, the eternal God
He will bring him to you
You are the God of the impossible
You are that God of love
Who forgives my sins
And forgets my mistake
How can I not forgive
My father who is not here
Today I ask you, my good God
To bring him back again
One September afternoon
I found my father
Tears fell there
Because my God was so faithful
Today I am with my old man
Who once saw me born
Stay here with me
Don't worry, my old man
I will take care of you
Stay here with me
Don't worry, my old man
For I will always love you
