Singer: Vicente Fernández
De tanto andar por la vida
Hijo de mi corazón
Me están pesando los años
Mi corazón se cansó
Tal vez se acerque el momento
Que habré de decirte adiós
From walking through life so much
Son of my heart
The years are weighing on me
My heart is tired
Perhaps the moment is coming closer
In which I’ll have to say goodbye to you
Cuando extrañes a tu padre
Que al cielo se fue con dios
Si quisieras abrazarlo
O demostrarle tu amor
Los besos que des a tu hijo
Haya los recibo yo
When you miss your father
Who went to heaven with God
If you want to hug him
Or show him your love
The kisses you give your son
I would have received them
Si un día recuerdas al viejo
Que se preocupó por ti
Si del quisieras un beso
Y ya no me encuentre aquí
A tu madre pídele uno
De tantos que yo le di
If one day you remember the old man
Who worried about you
If you want a kiss from him
And I’m no longer here
Ask your mother for one
Of the many that I gave her
Mira por donde caminas
Que no resbale tu pie
Procura seguir mis pasos
Donde firme caminé
Y evita topar con piedras
Con las que yo tropecé
Watch where you walk
That your foot does not slip
Try to follow my footsteps
Where I walked firmly
And avoid bumping into stones
Upon which I stumbled
Cuando ya no este contigo
Quien tus mejillas besó
El que a veces te abrasaba
Y a veces te regañó
Recuerda que fue tu padre
El hombre que más te amó
When I’m no longer with you
Who kissed your cheeks
Who would sometimes hug you
And sometimes scolded you
Remember that he was your father
The man who loved you the most
