Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Algo Le Pasa A Mi Héroe (Canción A Mi Papá) by Victor Manuelle from Spanish to English.
Algo le pasa a mi héroe, algo le pasa
Something's wrong with my hero, something's wrong
Tan solo veo un vacío en su mirada
All I see is a void in his stare
Algo le pasa a mi héroe, no dice nada
Something's wrong with my hero, he doesn't say a thing
No repite las historias que me contaba
He no longer repeats the stories he told me
Algo le pasa a mi héroe, perdió sus fuerzas
Something's wrong with my hero, he's lost his strength
Ya no pronuncia mi nombre, no lo recuerda
He doesn't say my name anymore, he can't remember it
Ni su cuerpo ni su mente son lo que era
Neither his body nor his mind are what they were
Pareciera andar flotando por las estrellas
He seems to be drifting among the stars
Sin querer entró en un mundo
Without meaning to, he stepped into a world
Donde no hay penas ni glorias
Where there's no sorrow or glory
Cada paso que va dando
With every step he takes
Va borrando una memoria
He erases another memory
Veo que el árbol de su vida
I see the tree of his life
Poco a poco se deshoja
Slowly shedding its leaves
Y aquel roble que era fuerte
And that oak that was strong
Con los años se desploma
Has crumbled with the years
Yo le hablo de nosotros
I talk to him about us
De las cosas que vivimos
About the things we've lived
Que tengo su mismo nombre
That I carry his same name
Y que llevo su apellido
And that I bear his last name
Que me ha dado dos hermanos
That he gave me two brothers
Que le vivo agradecido
And I'm grateful to him
Porque ha sido el mejor padre
Because he's been the best father
Que pueda tener un hijo
A child could ever have
Él me escucha pero no me habla
He listens to me but he doesn't talk back
Algo le pasa a mi héroe, donde se iría
Something's wrong with my hero, where'd he go
Aquel que fuera mi ejemplo, que era mi guía
The one who was my example, who was my guide
Se ha convertido en un niño, quién lo diría
Has turned into a child, who would've thought
Ahora nos toca cuidarlo como él lo hacia
Now it's our turn to care for him like he did
Sin querer entró en un mundo
Without meaning to, he stepped into a world
Donde no hay penas ni glorias
Where there's no sorrow or glory
Cada paso que va dando
With every step he takes
Va borrando una memoria
He erases another memory
Veo que el árbol de su vida
I see the tree of his life
Poco a poco se deshoja
Slowly shedding its leaves
Y aquel roble que era fuerte
And that oak that was strong
Con los años se desploma
Has crumbled with the years
Y mi madre le dedica
And my mom devotes
Cada hora de su día
Every hour of her day
Manteniendo la promesa
Keeping the promise
De amarlo toda la vida
To love him all her life
Y los nietos van creciendo
And the grandkids keep growing
Se hace grande la familia
The family's getting bigger
Y si sus ojos hablaran
And if his eyes could talk
Seguramente diría
They'd surely say
Que nos conoce todavía
That he still knows us
Algo le pasa a mi héroe, algo le pasa
Something's wrong with my hero, something's wrong
