Para Mi Hijo Lyrics in English La Santa Grifa
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Para Mi Hijo by La Santa Grifa from Spanish to English.
He fallado
I've failed
Dije que dejaría las drogas cuando mi hijo naciera
I said I'd quit drugs when my son was born
Y no lo he dejado
And I haven't quit
Acepto que he fallado
I accept that I've failed
Mi voluntad de fuerte, pero golpes de la vida
My will is strong, but life's blows
Me han dejado atarantado
Have left me dazed
No sé qué me ha pasado
I don't know what's happened to me
Por qué salgo a buscar felicidad
Why do I go out looking for happiness
Si en mi casa es lo que siempre he tenido a un lado
When I've always had it by my side at home
Acepto que he fallado
I accept that I've failed
Las cosas que dije que nunca haría
The things I said I'd never do
Son las mismas que me traen decepcionado
Are the same ones that have me disappointed
Sé que no soy un ser perfecto
I know I'm not perfect
Pero creo que me pase de defectos
But I think I went overboard with flaws
A la gente que me quiere, sin darme cuenta
The people who love me, without realizing it
Siempre es a la que más afecto
Are always the ones I hurt the most
O a lo mejor no les gusta mi aspecto
Or maybe they don't like my appearance
Acepto que soy peor que un insecto
I accept that I'm worse than an insect
Muchas personas esperan de mí
Many people expect things from me
Mientras yo solo espero a sentir el efecto
While I just wait to feel the effect
Drogadicto
Drug addict
Por culpa del vicio, me he metido en tantos conflictos
Because of this vice, I've gotten into so many conflicts
Los pleitos, ni ganados son buenos
Fights, even when won, aren't good
Por más que lo intentes, no saldrás invicto
No matter how hard you try, you won't come out undefeated
Yo solo quiero decirle a mi hijo
I just want to tell my son
Que no sea como papá de canijo
Not to be a bastard like his dad
Que intento resolver mi vida
That I'm trying to figure out my life
Pero resultó ser todo un acertijo
But it turned out to be a total riddle
Nunca escuché lo que papi me dijo
I never listened to what my daddy told me
Y no quisiera que hiciera lo mismo
And I wouldn't want you to do the same
Que no me gustaría mirarte
'Cause I wouldn't like to see you
Así, como yo, perdido en un abismo
Like this, like me, lost in an abyss
Lo que quiero es lo mejor para ti
What I want is the best for you
Espero y un día me comprendas a mí
I hope one day you'll understand me
Sé que te he fallado, cosas del pasado
I know I've failed you, things from the past
Tanto que he mirado, es lo que me ha hecho así
So much I've seen is what has made me this way
Me aterra que un día tú quieras seguir mis pasos
It terrifies me that one day you'll want to follow my steps
Porque soy todo un fracaso
Because I'm a total failure
Que solo te pido perdón, hijo mío, te amo
I just ask for your forgiveness, my son, I love you
Ven, dame un abrazo
Come, give me a hug
Quiero que sepas que yo nunca te abandonaría
I want you to know I'd never abandon you
Un día lo entenderás, junto con esta melodía
One day you'll understand, along with this melody
Y si algún día me encuentro lejos
And if one day I'm far away
Recuerda que siempre estará contigo el viejo
Remember your old man will always be with you
Si quieres verme, solo mírate al espejo
If you want to see me, just look in the mirror
Y recuerda cada uno de mis consejos
And remember every bit of my advice
En tus manos lo dejo
I leave it in your hands
Y si algún día me encuentro lejos
And if one day I'm far away
Recuerda que siempre estará contigo el viejo
Remember your old man will always be with you
Si quieres verme, solo mírate al espejo
If you want to see me, just look in the mirror
Y recuerda cada uno de mis consejos
And remember every bit of my advice
En tus manos lo dejo
I leave it in your hands
