The page contains the lyrics and English translation of the song "A Mi Padre" by Jose Luis Perales.
Lyrics
Tiene el andar cansado y a sus espaldas
sesenta y tantos años de esperanza
tiene una casa
verdugo de sus manos y sus espaldas
cuando amanece el día, camina y canta
buscándole la tierra en las entrañas
el pan caliente
milagro que realiza cada mañana
es aprendiz de todo maestro en nada
es poeta a su modo, le gusta el alma
y entre sus manos, y entre sus manos
florecen a escondidas algunas llagas
tiene cansado el cuerpo cansada el alma
tiene un interrogante sobre su cara
tiene un camino, tiene un camino
le gusta ser amigo de sus amigos
quiso cambiar su vida, dejar la aldea
más no paso de ser una quimera,
una quimera
que se quedo dormida entre la tierra.
tiene cansado el cuerpo cansada el alma
luce sobre su pecho camisa blanca
con su mirada, con su mirada
me dice que la vida … No vale nada.
Lyrics translation
He has tired walking and behind his back
sixty - so many years of hope
he's got a house.
executioner of his hands and his back
when the day dawns, walk and sing
looking for the Earth in his bowels
the hot bread
miracle he performs every morning
he is every teacher's Apprentice in nothing
he's a poet in his own way, he likes the soul
and in his hands, and in his hands
some sores bloom on the sly
has tired the body tired the soul
he's got a question about his face.
he's got a way, he's got a way
he likes to be friends with his friends
he wanted to change his life, leave the village
more than just a chimera,
a chimera
that she fell asleep in the ground.
has tired the body tired the soul
she wears a white shirt over her chest
with his gaze, with his gaze
he tells me that life ... is worthless.
