Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Pal' Viejo by Mario Bautista from Spanish to English.
Entiendes muy bien lo que es la vida
You understand very well what life is
Tú eres un ejemplo pa la mía
You are an example for mine
Desde morrito soy quien más te admira
Since I was a little boy, I admire you the most
Sigues con la misma alegría
You continue with the same joy
No ha perdido el brillo tu sonrisa
Your smile hasn't lost its shine
A pesar de todas las caídas
Despite all the falls
Los años pasan y suelo desear
The years go by and I often wish
Que me duraras
That you would last for me
Por lo menos una eternidad
At least for an eternity
Esta canción va pa'l viejo
This song is for the old man
De mis amigos fuiste el primero
You were the first of my friends
Te veo cuando me veo en el espejo
I see you when I look at myself in the mirror
Aunque a veces fuiste duro
Even though you were tough at times
Eso es amor puro
That's pure love
Y es la canción de mi viejo
And it's the song for my old man
Que me enseñó a no temerle a nada
Who taught me not to fear anything
Nunca jamás me ha dado la espalda
He has never turned his back on me
Y el más orgulloso soy yo de ser hijo tuyo
And I am proudest to be your son
Por algo mi mamá te eligió
For a reason my mom chose you
Los años pasan y suelo desear
The years go by and I often wish
Que me duraras
That you would last for me
Por lo menos una eternidad
At least for an eternity
Esta canción va pa'l viejo
This song is for the old man
De mis amigos fuiste el primero
You were the first of my friends
Te veo cuando me veo en el espejo
I see you when I look at myself in the mirror
Aunque a veces fuiste duro
Even though you were tough at times
Eso es amor puro
That's pure love
Y es la canción de mi viejo
And it's the song for my old man
Que me enseñó a no temerle a nada
Who taught me not to fear anything
Nunca jamás me ha dado la espalda
He has never turned his back on me
Y el más orgulloso soy yo de ser hijo tuyo
And I am proudest to be your son
Por algo mi mamá te eligió
For a reason my mom chose you
