Canción Para Mi Papá Lyrics in English Canticuentos

“Canción Para Mi Papá” is a playful tribute to that one-of-a-kind dad who can switch from stern moustache-wearing grown-up to giggling partner-in-crime in a heartbeat. Through a cascade of cheeky pranks—hiding his razor, swapping the soap for a ‘mouse,’ stealing spark plugs from the car, even knotting up his pajamas and sneaking a plump frog into his bed—the children in the song celebrate the unbreakable bond they share with their father. Every mischief ends with the same joyful chorus: Qué lindo ser amigo de papá (“How lovely it is to be Dad’s friend”), reminding us that real friendship often includes a good laugh at life’s little surprises.

Canticuentos, the Colombian artist behind this tune, wraps the antics in a warm Latin folk melody, turning everyday family moments into an affectionate anthem. Beneath the jokes lies a heartfelt message: a great dad is both mentor and playmate, someone we admire endlessly and tease fearlessly because love makes room for laughter. Listen closely and you will hear more than giggles—you will hear gratitude for a father who is truly irreplaceable.
