Historia

I didn't think that my life
I was going to be happy, I was going to be happy
When I started living it
My dear father walked away from me

He walked away and left me alone
Together with my mother, I had to suffer
Passing thousands of jobs
But it's never too late, now I'm happy

and before leaving
My good father bought an accordion
So that my brother
Someday I would learn to interpret it

But you know
That my little brother never learned
and I learned
And the vallenato grew in my soul

I started staying up late as a child
Because since I was a child I learned to work
I had a party with my friends
Some paid me with love
And others gave me what they wanted to give me

I started earning a few cents
But my old lady wouldn't let me come
And I hid money in another pocket
I wanted to keep a few cents
But mom knew how to search me

It made me angry, it left me clean
I was very young and I couldn't think
That my old lady, all those pesos
I was going to spend them on food
For me, for her and for my little brothers
When dad wanted to leave

My father has not been bad
Even though one day he just left me
Not because I wanted it
That's how life is, that's how love is

He fell in love with another
And he left my mother, I don't blame him
Because one thinks one thing
And the heart feels very differently

He was not going to abandon his good children
It didn't cross his mind to have another home
But a new love came to his soul and stayed
And that killed my dreams of charging again

Because when I was little
I always saw him arrive from work
And he ran like a madman
In search of my dear old man
With open arms, I used to wait

Those beautiful moments are gone
They're gone, they'll never come back
In the afternoons, I would wait for my old man
It was getting dark and he hadn't appeared
I couldn't stand it anymore and I started crying

That's why I ask all parents
Don't let your children be left like this
Because that is a very great suffering
I tell you, because I lived it
And suddenly God can punish
To parents who behave like this
