¿Por que Te Marchas, Abuelo?

They say that older people
Are surplus everywhere
My grandfather already knew about this
A long time ago
That's why one day he packed his suitcase
And left maybe not to be a bother

I saw him packing his suitcase
And among the things he was putting away
There was a picture of everyone
From the last birthday
A wool scarf
Some slippers and his tie
And those old handkerchiefs
That grandma used to embroider for him

Why are you leaving, grandpa?
Why are you leaving home?
Tell me if you don't love us anymore
Tell me, grandpa, what's wrong?

With his hand on my hair
And his choked words
He said: Child, don't say
That I'm crying as I leave
He said: Child, don't say
That you've seen tears in my eyes

Why are you leaving, grandpa?
(Why are you leaving, grandpa?)
Why are you leaving home?
(Why are you leaving home?)
Tell me if you don't love us anymore

Time passes quickly
And I don't even have the affection
Of those I love so much
And have loved so much

If you leave, grandpa
If you leave home
I'll carry your suitcase
And I'll go wherever you go

If you leave, grandpa
If you leave home
I'll carry your suitcase
To be wherever you go
