Paroles et traduction Franco de Vita - No Basta

No Basta

No basta
Traerlos al mundo porque es obligatorio
Porque son la base del matrimonio
O porque te equivocaste en la cuenta
No basta
Con llevarlos a la escuela a que aprendan
Porque la vida cada vez es más dura
Ser lo que tu padre no pudo ser
No basta
Que de afecto tú le has dado bien poco
Todo por culpa del maldito trabajo
Y del tiempo
No basta
Porque cuando quiso hablar de un problema
Tú le dijiste: niño será mañana, es muy tarde
Estoy cansado
No basta
Comprarle todo lo que quiso comprarse
El auto nuevo antes de graduarse
Que viviera lo que tú no has vivido
No basta
Con creer ser un padre excelente
Porque eso te dice la gente
A tus hijos nunca les falta nada
No basta
Porque cuando quiso hablarte de sexo
Se te subieron los colores al rostro
Y te fuiste
No basta
Porque de haber tenido un problema
Lo habría resuelto comprando en la esquina
Lo que había
Lo que había
No basta
Con comprarle curiosos objetos
No basta
Cuando lo que necesita es afecto
Aprender a dar valor a las cosas
Porque tú
No le serás eterno
No basta
Castigarlo por haber llegado tarde
Si no has caído ya tu chico es un hombre
Ahora más alto y más fuerte
Que tú
Que tú
No basta
No basta
No basta
No basta
No basta
No basta
No basta

It's Not Enough

It's not enough
To bring them into the world because it's obligatory
Because they are the foundation of marriage
Or because you made a mistake in your calculations
It's not enough
To take them to school so they can learn
Because life is getting harder and harder
To be what your father couldn't be
It's not enough
That you have given him very little affection
All because of your damn job
And time
It's not enough
Because when he wanted to talk about a problem
You told him: "Child, it will be tomorrow, it is very late
I'm tired
It's not enough
To buy him everything he wanted to buy
The new car before he graduated
To live what you have not lived
It's not enough
To believe you are an excellent father
Because that's what people tell you
Your children never lack anything
It's not enough
Because when he wanted to talk to you about sex
You blushed and left
And you left
It's not enough
Because if he had had a problem
He would have solved it by buying around the corner
Whatever was there
Whatever was there
It's not enough
To buy him curious objects
It's not enough
When what he needs is affection
To learn to value things
Because you
You will not be with him forever
It's not enough
To punish him for being late
If you haven't realized yet, your boy is a man
Now taller and stronger
Than you
Than you
It's not enough
It's not enough
It's not enough
It's not enough
It's not enough
It's not enough
It's not enough
