Querida Abuela

My beautiful little old lady, this is from the heart for you
For all those who have been like you
Unique
Yes, listen to me, look

Today I need to thank you for the way you raised me
For the values you planted in my chest like flowers
For the righteousness with which you raised that little boy
Who did his homework to be able to watch cartoons
I know you're not happy because Andres is no longer little Andres
Now he has tattoos and doesn't cut his hair short

You didn't please yourself by walking on the right paths
And he has the exact prototype of a delinquent
Grandma, today I dedicate this song to you
With the aim of letting you know my situation
I had no other choice but to lock myself in a line
And write to the beat of the heart's pulse
You don't know how much it hurts me when you don't understand me, when you tell me to get rid of all that crap
I know you love me but, without disrespecting you
I know sometimes you feel embarrassed to say 'there goes my grandson'

Grandma, you are the greatest thing life has given me
And I don't think I can survive your departure
But the day that we have to face such a hard farewell
The most beautiful thing about me will leave, you can leave convinced
I don't forget the scoldings, the punishments
Sometimes I recount them when we're among friends
Who by the way, those friends who seem indecent
Are much more human than a bunch of presidents
If you wanted me to learn to drive
To never stop studying
Ok! Today I drive a pencil that writes to help
And I study the human mind in order to progress
My old lady, you don't know how much we have to go through
The young people who have a different way of thinking
Let's see, because to avoid military service
We have to sign as if we're crazy if it's a right to have an opinion
I don't want to march or live like so many others
Who live off the history of man and positions
I want to be free, not accountable to anyone and drink alcohol
Until death knocks on my door

For the rest, don't worry, I know how to defend myself
This misunderstood human has decided to be stronger
Even if they call me by a name my mother didn't give me
I live proud of myself and the arms that embrace me
I became a father very early, I would say very punctual at the exact moment
To stop and mature, I stay awake
Until 6 in the morning but for my child
He has never lacked a meal
I don't want fame grandma, I want you to love me
Because I'll be with you until the day I die
God, if you truly exist, tell the one with the hood
To see me first

I am very happy to have met you
And that my dreams in your arms have been measured
Today it's a vivid memory when I lie down in bed
That program on the radio almost every morning
The backpack with the embroidered mushroom
The snacks, the buckled shoes, holding hands while crossing the street
I remember all those things
Sometimes I sleep believing you're telling me a story
And that I still have the fear of the dark in my mind
That I wet the bed and your image at the end of the hallway with the frog leg, the fish, swimming, karate, the beach

The time I told you I wanted to enter through the screen
When we had the first color TV
And how much I liked going down to turn off the engine
Maximum respect for you, the best grandmother who raised me
Without having a high status, there's your portrait tattooed in my mind
Smiling at life even though life has hit you hard
All that's left for me to say is that it's a shame
That this book throws back the pages but without leaving anything inside
Right now I would be running around at 25 and 8
While you're looking for me going crazy
And I'm telling you just a little longer, I'm almost there
Playing hide and seek or tag
Stealing your coins to buy balls and cold hard candy
I'm not confused, I know well what I want
And I want there to be a mail from heaven to earth
So when we part without any explanation
An angel will take my letters to you until we're reunited
This is for you and for all those nannies
Grandma Martha, Amparo, Nubia, also for my mother, I love you all
This is
