Mi Niño

Listen
Listen to this, my child
This is for you
This is for you... My little drop of affection
My endless dream

Since the day you were born, I didn’t know what to do
I had so much faith, I couldn’t believe it
That big smile made me shiver
The most beautiful smile had just been born

It was hard to understand how something so pure
Could conquer something so impure
The impact was so strong, I lost consciousness
But you revived me with your sweet arrival

Today I feel I regret not being my best
But to you, my dear, you’ll be the best of the best
Today I’m a gladiator because you taught me
I thought I was carrying you, but you were the one carrying me

The day you arrived, you extended my existence
I was looking for happiness until I found your presence
You, my lovely legacy, my spiritual fire
The picture in my wallet, my great mental mural

You’re the instrumental that brings out my emotions
My elegant verse in all my songs
My jar of answers, my firefly of love
Little drop of affection, my encouraging saying

The spark of tenderness, my endless dream
The flame of craziness, my kindest laugh
Everything is pleasant just as you see me
Because you made daddy become more polite

From here to my old age, you’ll always be my child
Swimming in my caresses, anchored in my love
Blessed be fate for having me in its plan
Blessed be you, my most beautiful endeavor

Gift of life, what wouldn’t I give for you?
Maybe you don’t understand yet, but I love you more than myself
My great source of strength, my reason to live
The most inexplicable, my reason to keep going

My success, my prize, my sweetest news
Of everything I have, you are my first
The innocent caress that restarts my end
Reviving joy in my earthly agony

Mommy's poem, daddy's poetry
Of this whole life, my favorite moment
If one day you don’t see me, just close your little eyes
I’ll be by your side forever, always together

Smiling at life for how well we’ve had it
Never forget how much we love you
Beautiful little cloud, my rain of promises
The calm of my anguish, my sky of surprises

My favorite person, my preferred little creature
The most wonderful thing this life has given me
My child, my sweetheart, forever my baby
Here and in the afterlife, I will always love you

Here and in the afterlife
I will always love you
I will always.
