Papá

Sun of my home and my life, it was you
For your warmth, for your joy and for your light
For you, dad, for your sleepless nights and your work
My little house was a palace, where my mom reigned
For you, dad, for your sleepless nights and your work
My little house was a palace, where my mom reigned

I won't forget when Christmas arrived
You were the wise king who lived in our home
With your gifts, the nativity scene was filled
That hid your suffering, with our happiness
With your gifts, the nativity scene was filled
That hid your suffering, with our happiness

Dad, how many times you ran to my bedside
Bringing the remedy for my salvation
Dad, you wrinkled, white-haired head
Searching for the money for my education
I know, perhaps, you stayed without new shoes
So your children could walk
I know, also, for us, you put in the effort
The beautiful ring that mom gave you

Dad, monument to love and affection
That God blessed us: Thank you, dad
Because your love was the example
That today flourishes in all your children
Thank you, dad, because your love was the example
That today flourishes in all your children

- Searching for the way to heaven, I couldn't find it
But searching and searching, only, I could find
A little path of kisses, with little drops of tears
And a path of stars, drawn by my dad-

Dad, how many times you ran to my bedside
Bringing the remedy for my salvation
Dad, you wrinkled, white-haired head
Searching for the money for my education
I know, perhaps, you stayed without new shoes
So your children could walk
I know, also, for us, you put in the effort
The beautiful ring that mom gave you

Dad, monument to love and affection
That God blessed us: Thank you, dad
Because your love was the example
That today flourishes in all your children
Thank you, dad, because your love was the example
That today flourishes in all your children

I love you, dad
