Lyrics and translation Julio Chaidez - Ese Señor de las Canas

Ese Señor de las Canas

Nadie save cuanto tiempo traia cargando amarguras
Como recuerdo a mi viejo y sus tantas aventuras
Se le volvieron los años y en su rostro una madeja
Y transformo su sonrisa tan solo por una mueca

Si encuentras en tu camino a un hombre que ba llorando
Dile que a diario en mis resos su nombre voy pronunciando
Por señas tiene ojos tristes y herido su corazon
Es viejo y de pelo blanco su mirada puro amor

Ese señor de las canas
Que en las buenas y en las malas
Siempre supo responder
Fue pobre aya por su infancia
Tubo poco e ignorancia
Pero la logro vencer

Si encuentras en tu camino a un hombre que ba llorando
Dile que a diario mis resos su nombre voy pronunciando
Andador de mil veredas por pueblos y calles viejas
Donde acabaron sus años donde acabaron sus quejas

That Gray-Haired Gentleman

No one knows for how long he carried the weight of his sorrows
As I reminisce my old man and his adventures
His years have turned against him and a gray streak upon his face
His laughter turned to a grimace

If upon your path you find a man filled with sorrow
Tell him that I still remember him in my every plea
A mark of sorrow in his gaze and a heart filled with torment
He is now an aged man with hair as white as snow, his eyes filled with gentle grace

That gray-haired gentleman,
Through the good times and the bad,
He was always there to lend a hand
In his youth, he faced poverty,
Lacking wealth and burdened with ignorance
But he was able to overcome it all

If upon your path you find a man filled with sorrow
Tell him that I still remember him in my every plea
A wanderer of a thousand paths, through towns and ancient streets
Where he spent his final days, where his yearnings ceased
