Carta Al Cielo

Winter is even colder when some don't return
When Christmas comes, and there are missing people at our table
When you don't smile as much due to the weight of their absence
And when you look at the stars to make a thousand promises to them

This is for you, grandpa, because you are not forgotten here
I learned a valuable lesson in this life a long time ago
No one will die completely as long as you feel they watch over you
So a kiss to the sky for having to watch us from above

Nothing is the same since you left
Grandma doesn't laugh as much anymore, her face is somewhat sadder
She doesn't like to celebrate holidays or birthdays
You can't imagine how hard it is to live with so much pain

And here I am, just like when I was little
With my things, my quirks, my projects, and my dreams
I had two great groups, and both fell apart
They were two great friends who saw me heading towards the sky

Do you remember, grandpa, what I promised you?
I swore I would succeed when we were still kids
Since 2013, I never stopped writing to you
And right now, I'm singing to you from the festivals

Mom and dad never stopped supporting me
They lent me 20 euros every month to record
They believed in my lyrics, that one day I would be great
And I swore I would achieve it, like they now call me Dante

You know, grandpa, the excitement I have?
They want us in Colombia, Mexico, and Argentina
In Venezuela, Ecuador, Peru, Chile, and Costa Rica
In Uruguay, Paraguay, throughout Latin America

Can you imagine it, grandpa? Can you imagine it?
That in the end, I make a living from this as I promised you that day?
That in the end, I travel the world with the same energy
I had as a kid when I started in this life?

I don't regret a second I've invested
Since I came into this world, and look what I've become
Now people stop me on the street, and I feel blessed
For healing the hearts of those who couldn't

Now I spend half my life on the road
With a blanket around my neck, not knowing what awaits me
With millions of kilometers with my whole crew
Who support me like no one else, and like no one else is

I have a girlfriend who loves me, who has never abandoned me
A DJ who is the best in Spain, and it's proven
A brother who is my shield and who has always been by my side
A manager worth gold, and look where he has taken me

And I don't know how much time I have left enjoying this
But I'm living it to the fullest without making any excuses
I don't feel the passage of time, nor do I get tired, for sure
I feel like a child with new shoes

But I still struggle to remember that you're no longer here
That you can't hug me like others do
That I've grown slowly and couldn't enjoy you
Like I enjoy being with the whole family another year

Today I feel like talking to you, I remembered you
It's been over seven years since I wrote to you
No matter how far away you are, I always have you here
Merry Christmas, grandpa, we will love you until the end
