A Mi Padre

Hey!
For all the dads in the world!
Hey!

It was you who always took care of me since I was a child
If I fell, you lifted me up
You taught me how to live

It was you who helped me find my way
You are my father and also my friend
I owe everything to you

May you never be absent
Because if you're not here, it's like I'm missing the air
I want to thank you for taking care of me so much
Because of you, I keep going forward

May you never be absent
Because if you're not here, it's like I'm missing the air
I want to thank you for taking care of me so much
Because of you, I keep going forward
You are my father

You taught me to fight and pursue my dreams
My dream was to sing since I was little
And now look at me, I'm living from this
You told me to keep going, to put effort into it

I am proud of you, you are my hero
Your words, your advice, I always keep them in mind
You told me that in life, friends come and go
You taught me to value and respect women

I know you sometimes suffer for not being able to see me
We barely see each other once a month
But I think of you every second

That's why I wanted to compose this song
From my own hand and words so you know
You will always be the best father in the world

May you never be absent
Because if you're not here, it's like I'm missing the air
I want to thank you for taking care of me so much
Because of you, I keep going forward

Because by your side, I am the happiest son
I thank you by writing this letter
You are my guide and my will to live
I would give everything, even my whole life

May you never be absent
Because if you're not here, it's like I'm missing the air
I want to thank you for taking care of me so much
Because of you, I keep going forward

May you never be absent
Because if you're not here, it's like I'm missing the air
I want to thank you for taking care of me so much
Because of you, I keep going forward
You are my father

Dad, even though you are no longer with us
This song is for you
You keep taking care of us from heaven
