Cuando Yo Queria Ser Grande
Reyes Del Camino
When I Wanted to Be Big
They are getting lost in time
My years are getting very far away
My father no longer holds my hand
Only his advice
Childhood memories live in me
When I used to wish upon a star
As a memory of my father
Who would smile at that
While my mother watched
Years that come slowly, at first
How slowly they advance
How I wanted to be big, I remember
So I wouldn't stay at home
And accompany my father far away
Maybe even to the end of the world
Because my father was strong
He was very intelligent
He was better than anyone
Today I don't want the years to pass
Because my father is already old
Wrinkles have covered his hands
And his hair turned white
Oh Lord, stop time I ask you
Because you can do it
Because I truly don't understand, my God, why
The good things slip away from us
When one day your steps get tired
I want to be the one who takes care of you
So give me your arm
And let's go see what you're going to tell me
