Old man

Now that I've got my kids I know how much you love me, old man

I'm grateful for the scoldings and the thousands of tips

that helped me get to where I'm at

and keep real clear where I'm going

My old man

The seed you planted is bearing fruit now, old man

My word and helping whoever needs me is only your reflection

And I'm not gonna get tired of thanking you

'Cause everything I am I owe to you

And even though it's getting a little hard for you to walk

You've got my shoulder, you can lean right here

It's my turn to look out for you

and give you back a bit of all you did for me

And if I could I'd go talk to God

I'd ask Him just one single favor

I'd love it if there's another life

for you to be my old man again

Here it goes, Rodolfo

From San Francisquito

all the way to the Picacho, my old man

Ha-ha!

And even though it's getting a little hard for you to walk

You've got my shoulder, you can lean right here

It's my turn to look out for you

and give you back a bit of all you did for me

And if I could I'd go talk to God

I'd ask Him just one single favor

I'd love it if there's another life

for you to be my old man again

Eden Muñoz's song "Viejo" is a beautiful tribute from a son to his father, filled with gratitude and love. He starts by acknowledging how much his father loves him, a realization that came with having his own children: "Ahora que tengo a mis hijos sé lo mucho que me quieres, viejo" [Now that I have my children, I know how much you love me, old man]. He thanks his dad for all the scolding and advice that helped him get to where he is today and know where he's going.

It's clear that Eden sees himself as a reflection of his father, saying, "Mi palabra y ayudar a quien me ocupe solo es tu reflejo" [My word and helping whoever needs me is just your reflection]. He promises to never stop being grateful because he owes everything he is to his dad. Now that his father is getting older and it's harder for him to walk, Eden offers his shoulder for support, ready to take care of him and return some of the love and effort his father put in. He even says that if there's another life, he'd ask God for one favor: "Me encantaría si hay otra vida / Que volvieras a ser tú mi viejo" [I would love it if, in another life, you would be my old man again]. How sweet is that?
