Papá Lyrics in English by Gera MX
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Papá by Gera MX from Spanish to English.
Todo ha cambiado, la vida sonríe girando los dados
Everything has changed, life smiles rolling the dice
Dime cómo has estado
Tell me how you've been
Sé que me vigilas, pero enserio te he extrañado
I know you watch over me, but I've really missed you
¿Viste ese negocio como ya está dominado?
Did you see that business how it's already dominated?
¿Viste la casa y los carros que con música he comprado?
Did you see the house and the cars that I've bought with music?
Sé que estabas orgulloso
I know you were proud
Desde que era pobre y aún no era poderoso
Since I was poor and wasn't powerful yet
Pero vine a hablar contigo
But I came to talk to you
Abajo es muy difícil poder confiar en amigos
Down here it's very difficult to trust friends
Tengo tanto que contarte como el corazón partido
I have so much to tell you, like my broken heart
Toqué en varios festivales, rompimos Vive Latino
I played at several festivals, we crushed Vive Latino
Deja me prendo, que el cora' hable
Let me light up, let my heart speak
Sabes que fumo y soy responsable
You know I smoke and I'm responsible
Ocupo nubes pa' visitarte
I need clouds to visit you
Solo me duermo, es para llamarte
I just fall asleep, it's to call you
Hace tiempo no te veo
It's been a while since I've seen you
El mundo ya está feo, siento que me mareo
The world is already ugly, I feel like I'm getting dizzy
Dime en dónde es que te veo
Tell me where I see you
Dices que me falta mucho, pero a veces no te creo
You say I still have a long way to go, but sometimes I don't believe you
Traje una rosa, no es cualquier cosa
I brought a rose, it's not just anything
Representa que mamá está orgullosa
It represents that mom is proud
Diana la cuido, está muy hermosa
I take care of Diana, she's very beautiful
Perdón por la pistola, la vida está peligrosa
Sorry for the gun, life is dangerous
Ah
Ah
Ah
Ah
Ah
Ah
Ah, uh
Ah, uh
¿Cómo ves, pa'?, No saben a qué le mueven
What do you think, babe? They don't know what they're messing with
Ya saben mi carácter, mejor que suave la lleven
They already know my character, they better take it easy
Oh, yo te extraño cuando llueve
Oh, I miss you when it rains
Me pongo nostálgico y hago que caiga nieve
I get nostalgic and I make it snow
Yeah, hablemos de cosas buenas
Yeah, let's talk about good things
Hace varios años que mi brillo nadie frena
It's been several years that nobody stops my shine
Tuve que aprender y traer pa' la cena
I had to learn and bring for dinner
Mi casa jamás va a tener hambre y pena
My house will never have hunger and sorrow
Ah, siempre fui la pieza
Ah, I was always the piece
Llené muchos teatros, también Plaza Condesa
I filled many theaters, also Plaza Condesa
Quiero tu sonrisa, lo único que interesa
I want your smile, that's the only thing that matters
Árbol nace torcido y pues jamás se endereza
A tree is born crooked and well, it never straightens
Nos gustó la feria y no hablo de los juegos
We liked the hustle and I'm not talking about the games
Te escribo, te pienso, te extraño y me elevo
I write to you, I think of you, I miss you and I rise
Pienso en la azotea en algún tema nuevo
I think on the rooftop about a new song
Que pueda llevarme contigo hasta el cielo
That can take me with you to heaven
Ah, por cierto, no me drogo
Ah, by the way, I don't do drugs
Puedes estar tranquilo, cachorro ya es lobo
You can be calm, the pup is already a wolf
Oh, si miras que tomo
Oh, if you see me drinking
Un poco de tequila para los momentos de oro
A little tequila for the golden moments
(Si me hubiera hecho millo un par de añitos antes)
If I had become a millionaire a couple of years earlier
(Tal vez otra historia fuera la que yo te cante)
Maybe another story is what I would sing to you
(Una infancia con peligro siempre suena interesante)
A childhood with danger always sounds interesting
(Claro que estoy loco, mi padre sí que era un gangster)
Of course I'm crazy, my father was indeed a gangster
Oh, tengo que seguir con esto
Oh, I have to continue with this
Desde que partiste, claro que subí de puesto
Since you left, of course I moved up
Montamos una empresa, Los Vagos rifan en esto
We set up a company, Los Vagos rock at this
Voy a tomar un vuelo, ya luego te cuento el resto
I'm going to take a flight, I'll tell you the rest later
Ah
Ah
Ah
Ah
Ah
Ah
Ah, uh
Ah, uh

gangster — gangster
Gangster is a direct loanword from English, making it immediately recognizable yet surprising to hear in a Spanish song.
In the lyrics, Gera MX says, "Claro que estoy loco, mi padre sí que era un gangster" (Of course I'm crazy, my father really was a gangster). This line is particularly striking because it's a direct and bold statement about his father's past, adding a layer of intrigue and personal history to the song. It's a word that stands out due to its origin and its impactful context within the narrative.
