Se van perdiendo en el tiempo
They are lost in time
Mis años se van quedando muy lejos
My years are getting too far away
Ya no me lleva mi padre la mano
My father no longer holds my hand
Solamente sus consejos
Only your advice
Viven en mí los recuerdos de niño
The memories of a child live in me
Cuando una estrella deseaba
When a star wanted
Como recuerdo a mi padre
As I remember my father
Que con eso sonreía
That with that he smiled
Mientras mi madre miraba
While my mother watched
Años que vienen despacio, primero
Years coming slowly, first
Con que lentitud avanzan
How slowly they are moving
Como quería ser grande, recuerdo
Since I wanted to be big, I remember
Para no quedarme en casa
Not to stay at home
Y acompañar a mi padre muy lejos
And accompany my father far away
Tal vez hasta el fin del mundo
Maybe until the end of the world
Porque mi padre era fuerte
Because my father was strong
Era muy inteligente
He was very smart.
Era mejor que ninguno
He was better than none.
Hoy ya no quiero que pasen los años
Today I don't want the years to pass
Porque mi padre ya está viejo
Because my father is old
Se le han cubierto de arrugas sus manos
His hands have been covered with wrinkles
Y de nieve sus cabellos
And of snow his hair
Oh, Señor detén el tiempo te pido
Oh, Lord, stop time, I ask you
Porque Tú puedes hacerlo
Because You Can Do It
Porque yo en verdad no entiendo, Dios mío, por qué
Because I really don't understand, my God, why
Se nos va lo bueno
The good is going away
Cuando se cansen un día tus pasos
When your steps get tired one day
Yo quiero ser quien los cuide
I want to be the one to take care of them
Mientras tanto dame el brazo
In the meantime give me your arm
Y vamos a ver qué vas a decirme
And let's see what you're going to tell me
