Lyrics
Dame un beso delante de la gente
dame un beso delante de tu madre
tú serás de los dos la mas valiente
y yo seré de los dos el mas cobarde
qué dificil tenerte y no tenerte
qué dificil sentir que no eres mia
que dificil encontrar una noche
que siga siendo noche y que no tenga dia
porque a mi edad yo puedo ser tu padre
a ti te faltan los años no cumplidos
yo debí enamorarme de tu madre
pero dios es quien marca los caminos
y el camino que vamos recorriendo
es talvez el camino mas humano
porque entre mas me griten que te deje
yo mas fuerte te apreto de la mano
porque a mi edad yo puedo ser tu padre
a ti te faltan los años no cumplidos
yo debí enamorarme de tu madre
pero dios es quien marca los caminos
y el camino que vamos recorriendo
es talvez el camino mas humano
porque entre mas me griten que te deje
yo mas fuerte te apreto de la mano
Lyrics translation
Give me a kiss in front of people
give me a kiss in front of your mother
you'll be the bravest of both
and I'll be the Coward of both
how difficult to have and not have
how hard to feel that you're not mine
how hard to find a night
May it remain night and have no day
because at my age I can be your father
you're missing the unfinished years.
I must have fallen in love with your mother.
but it is God who marks the paths
and the way we're going
it is perhaps the most humane way
because the more they yell at me to leave you
I hold your hand harder
because at my age I can be your father
you're missing the unfinished years.
I must have fallen in love with your mother.
but it is God who marks the paths
and the way we're going
it is perhaps the most humane way
because the more they yell at me to leave you
I hold your hand harder
