Lyrics

Mi querido cascarrabias
Hoy te vengo a saludar
Y a reclamarte ese abrazo
Que se quedó en tu regazo
Cuando salí a caminar

Yo te llamo cascarrabias
Aunque a veces es verdad
Como cuando yo era niño
Te lo digo con cariño
Bien lo sabes, papá

Quiera Dios que no me faltes
En la aurora de mañana
Para mirar tu figura
Recostada en la ventana
Tus consejos me han servido
Para escalar mil montañas
Por eso, viejo querido,
Que Dios bendiga tus canas

Yo recuerdo cuando niño
Si me ibas a castigar
Me escondía tras de la puerta
Me perseguías por la huerta
Y también por el solar

Han pasado tantos años
Y no olvidaré jamás
Tus palabras tus regaños
Que nunca me hicieron daño
Y me guiaron de verdad

Quiera Dios que no me faltes
En la aurora de mañana
Para mirar, tu figura
Recostada en la ventana
Tus consejos me han servido
Para escalar mil montañas
Por eso viejo querido
Que Dios bendiga tus canas

Lyrics translation

My dear grumpy Today I come to greet And reclamarte that hug That stayed in your lap When I went walking I will call you cantankerous Although it is sometimes true As when I was a boy, I tell You with affection as you Well know, dad may God not deprive me of the dawn of morning To look at your figure Lying in the window of Your tips have helped me To climb a thousand mountains that is why, old dear, God bless your gray hair I remember as a child If I were going to punish Me by hiding behind the door I perseguías by the orchard And also for the solar Have spent so many years And I will never forget Your words, your scolding That never harmed me And guided me really Want God not to deprive me of the dawn of tomorrow To look, your figure Propped in the window of Your tips have helped me To climb a thousand mountains For this old dear may God bless your gray hair
