Paroles et traduction Leo Mattioli - Cuéntale

Cuéntale

Cuéntale, si tú ves primero a papá
Cómo ha crecido su hijo
Cómo ha sabido triunfar
Quizás como él soñó

Ay, cuéntale lo mucho que has sufrido
Cómo supiste criar
Los hijos que él abandonó
Ay, sin querer

Si yo lo encuentro le diré
Que desde niño yo envidié
Aquellos que tenían papá
Y podían abrazar a ese gran señor

Que muchas veces maldije
A Dios por haberme arrancado
Desde muy niño a mi papito
Y que mucho yo sufrí
Por ese gran señor
Cuéntale, si tú ves primero a papá

Cuéntale, de los nietos que le he dado
Que no ha llegado a conocer
Que uno se parece a él
Tanto como yo

Si yo lo encuentro le diré
Que desde niño yo envidié
Aquellos que podían jugar
Y de la mano caminar
Con ese gran señor

Y que muchas veces maldije
A Dios por haberme arrancado
Desde muy niño a mi papito
Y que mucho yo sufrí
Por ese gran señor
Cuéntale, si tú ves primero a papá

Que muchas veces maldije
A Dios por haberme arrancado
Desde pequeño a mi papito
Y que aún necesito de él
De ese gran señor

Contemosle, mamá, si alguno de los dos
Ve primero a papá...

Tell Him

Tell him, if you see Dad first
How his son has grown
How he has known how to triumph
Perhaps as he dreamed

Oh, tell him how much you have suffered
How you were able to raise
The children he abandoned
Oh, without meaning to

If I find him I'll tell him
That since I was a child I envied
Those who had a dad
And could hug that great man

That many times I cursed
At God for having taken away
My daddy from me when I was very young
And that I suffered a lot
Because of that great man
Tell him, if you see Dad first

Tell him about the grandchildren I've given him
That he hasn't gotten to know
That one looks like him
As much as I do

If I find him I'll tell him
That since I was a child I envied
Those who could play
And walk hand in hand
With that great man

And that many times I cursed
At God for having taken away
My daddy from me when I was very young
And that I suffered a lot
Because of that great man
Tell him, if you see Dad first

That many times I cursed
At God for having taken away
My daddy from me when I was little
And that I still need him
That great man

Let's tell him, Mom, if either of us
Sees Dad first...
