Carta a Mi Princesa

While she slept, I watched her
She fell asleep in our room
She still believes in fairy tales
And her imagination surprises me

Time passes by as if nothing
It's something I can't stop
My beloved princess is with me
But tomorrow she'll be a woman

And in moments when I have to leave her
When I depart, when I have to go
She bids me farewell with her love and embraces me warmly
And I can't resist that
And in moments when I have to leave her
When I depart, when I have to go
She says with her sweet voice 'come back soon, please'
And it's hard for me to say goodbye
Honestly, I don't want to leave

Today I confess to you, my dear
How I suffer when saying goodbye
Just thinking that soon I'll have to go
Days pass, long hours, I only think of your smile
I wish to hug you and for the days to hurry

If you knew how difficult it is not to see you
To wake up in the morning and not have you in my arms
I only ask the Lord to give me back those seconds
Those days, those hours, to stop time, the world
Today I see how you grow, how you develop

I just want to protect you, my precious jewel
I want to tell the whole world how proud I am
To have you in my life because I give you the best
Dedicating this song to you and expressing what I feel

Even though I'm far away, you're always in my thoughts
Thank you for making me a fortunate father
To love a person like I had never imagined

And I arrive home and you come to greet me
And I start to laugh and you hug me
And I arrive home and you come to tell me
How your day was and that you love me

The time comes when I arrive home
A little anxious and crazy to see you
Knowing that in a couple of days I'll have to leave you again
I know it's a bit tough
And sometimes I can't find a way to explain

I wish to leave everything and just love you
Recover the lost time
As the days go by, you're growing
And I'm surprised by how much you've grown

Forgive the times I haven't been there
Forgive me if I've failed you in any way
I ask for forgiveness for not being by your side
Sometimes when I tried to please the whole world
And forgot what's real and important (forgive me, princess)

I want you to know that you're my greatest pride
And I've never had a love like yours
Perhaps tomorrow I'll leave again
But I'll always carry you in my mind
And you're always present in my thoughts
Meanwhile, I write this letter as time passes
I see my princess again in my house

And I arrive home and you come to greet me
And I start to laugh and you hug me
And I arrive home and you come to tell me
How your day was and that you love me

Princess, forgive the times I haven't been by your side
I know that when you grow up, you'll understand
Daddy works for God
I dedicate this song to you
And with your favorite singer

While she slept, I watched her
She fell asleep in our room
She still believes in fairy tales
And her imagination surprises me
Time passes by as if nothing
It's something I can't stop
My beloved princess is with me
But tomorrow she'll be a woman
