Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Quiero Poner En La Tierra Mis Pies by Pablo Milanés from Spanish to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Es un buen tipo mi viejo
He's a good guy my old man
Que anda solo y esperando
who walks alone and waiting
Tiene la tristeza larga
He has long sadness
De tanto venir andando
From so much walking
Yo lo miro de desde lejos
I look at it from afar
Pero somos tan distintos
but we are so different
Es que creció con el siglo
It's that he grew with the century
Con tranvía y vino tinto
With tram and red wine
Viejo, mi querido viejo
My old dear old
Ahora ya caminas lerdo
Now you walk slow
Como perdonando el viento
like forgiving the wind
Yo soy tu sangre, mi viejo
I am your blood, my old man
Soy tu silencio y tu tiempo
I am your silence and your time
Él tiene los ojos buenos
he has good eyes
Y una figura pesada
and a heavy figure
La edad se le vino encima
age caught up with him
Sin carnaval ni comparsa
Without carnival or comparsa
Yo tengo los años nuevos
I have new years
Mi padre los años viejos
My father the old years
El dolor lo lleva dentro
The pain takes you inside
Y tiene historia sin tiempo
And he has history without time
Viejo, mi querido viejo
My old dear old
Ahora ya caminas lerdo
Now you walk slow
Como perdonando el viento
like forgiving the wind
Yo soy tu sangre, mi viejo
I am your blood, my old man
Soy tu silencio y tu tiempo
I am your silence and your time
Yo soy tu sangre, mi viejo, yo
I am your blood, my old man, I
Soy tu silencio y tu tiempo
I am your silence and your time
Yo soy tu sangre, mi viejo
I am your blood, my old man
