Текст и перевод песни Leandro Ríos - Oye Viejo

Oye Viejo

Ya pronto me iré
Y no quiero que me vayas a llorar
No quiero verte en un rincón
Pidiéndole a Dios explicación
Tu dolor no me hará volver

Eso me escribió mi padre al morir, me quiso sonreír
Como no tenía nada de voz
Con su mano apunto mi corazón
Como diciendo ahí voy a vivir

Oye viejo
A poco crees que olvidaré lo que me amaste
Desde la primera vez que me arrullaste
Te convertiste en mi amigo inseparable

Oye viejo
Siempre admiré tu forma de ir pa'delante
Eras bajito y con el corazón gigante
De la pobreza con esfuerzo nos sacaste

En vida quizás nunca lo gritamos
Pero siempre has sido el viejo que más amo

Oye viejo
Hoy recuerdo todo lo que cabalgamos juntos por la vida
Y te agradezco tu educación, tus valores, tu paciencia
Pero sobre todo tu amor
¡Te amo mi viejo!

Oye viejo
A poco crees que olvidaré lo que me amaste
Desde la primera vez que me arrullaste
Te convertiste en mi amigo inseparable

Oye viejo
Siempre admiré tu forma de ir pa'delante
Eras bajito y con el corazón gigante
De la pobreza con esfuerzo nos sacaste

En vida quizás nunca lo gritamos
Pero siempre has sido el viejo que más amo

Hear Old Man

I'll be leaving soon
And I don't want you to cry for me
I don't want to see you in a corner
Asking God for an explanation
Your pain won't bring me back

That's what my father wrote to me when he died, he wanted to make me smile
Since he had no voice
With his hand he pointed at my heart
As if to say I'll be living there

Hear old man
Do you think I'll forget how much you loved me
From the first time you cradled me
You became my inseparable friend

Hear old man
I always admired the way you moved forward
You were short but with a giant heart
You lifted us out of poverty with effort

In life we may never have shouted it out
But you have always been the old man I love the most

Hear old man
Today I remember everything we rode together through life
And I thank you for your education, your values, your patience
But above all for your love
I love you, my old man!

Hear old man
Do you think I'll forget how much you loved me
From the first time you cradled me
You became my inseparable friend

Hear old man
I always admired the way you moved forward
You were short but with a giant heart
You lifted us out of poverty with effort

In life we may never have shouted it out
But you have always been the old man I love the most
