Si Llego a Viejo
Lalo Mora
If I Grow Old
My father was a good man
Humble and hardworking
One day he spoke to me very calmly
With eyes full of love
He said if I grow old
Support me please
The battle against time
Time always wins
Today I bring in my thoughts
To beg for your understanding
To ask you if I grow old
Do not forget me please
If you see my pace slow
And I lose confidence
I want to lean on your arm
To be able to continue
For you to guide the old hand
That taught you to walk
Yesterday when you were little
I protected you with love
I made you a good man
Honest and hardworking
That's why if I grow old
Help me please
Son if one day I grow old
And I argue with you without reason
If you see that I am stubborn and foolish
It's because time changed me
Remember that when you were a child
You were more stubborn than me
If the years show on me
And there are ailments due to my age
Don't get annoyed with me
And help me to continue
As maybe one day your son
Accompanies you in the end
Son if one day I grow old
Do not forget me
