Mi Querido Cascarrabias

Mi querido cascarrabias
Hoy te vengo a saludar
Y a reclamarte ese abrazo
Que se quedó en tu regazo
Cuando salí a caminar
Yo te llamo cascarrabias
Aunque a veces es verdad
Como cuando yo era niño
Te lo digo con cariño
Bien lo sabes, papá
Quiera Dios que no me faltes
En la aurora de mañana
Para mirar tu figura
Recostada en la ventana
Tus consejos me han servido
Para escalar mil montañas
Por eso, viejo querido
Que Dios bendiga tus canas
Yo recuerdo cuando niño
Si me ibas a castigar
Me escondía tras de la puerta
Me perseguías por la huerta
Y también por el solar
Han pasado tantos años
Y no olvidaré jamás
Tus palabras, tus regaños
Que nunca me hicieron daño
Y me guiaron de verdad
Quiera Dios que no me faltes
En la aurora de mañana
Para mirar tu figura
Recostada en la ventana
Tus consejos me han servido
Para escalar mil montañas
Por eso, viejo querido
Que Dios bendiga tus canas

My Dearest Grouchy One

My dearest grouchy one,
Today I come to greet you,
And to claim that hug,
That stayed in your lap,
When I went out for a walk.
I call you grouch
Even though it's true sometimes,
Like when I was a child.
I say it to you with love,
You know it well, my dad.
May God keep you from me,
In the dawn of tomorrow,
To see your figure,
Sitting by the window.
Your advice has helped me,
To climb a thousand mountains.
For that, my dear old man,
May God bless your gray hair.
I remember when I was a child,
If you were going to punish me,
I would hide behind the door.
You would chase me through the garden,
And also through the vacant lot.
So many years have passed,
And I will never forget,
Your words, your scoldings,
That never hurt me,
And guided me truly.
May God keep you from me,
In the dawn of tomorrow,
To see your figure,
Sitting by the window.
Your advice has helped me,
To climb a thousand mountains.
For that, my dear old man,
May God bless your gray hair.
