The page contains the lyrics and English translation of the song "Parte de Mí" by Leo Jiménez.
Lyrics
Recorrió largo tiempo en su reloj.
Peleó para ser lo que es hoy.
Luchador, testarudo y cómo no cariñoso y tierno como yo.
Sin pensar me enseñaba a reaccionar
al calor de su lumbre y su voz.
Un bastón le ayudaba a caminar,
pero él era duro como yo.
Y el camino acabó.
Su mirada dulce y gris voló.
Y su luz se apagó como la llama
del candil que hace tiempo ardió.
Y su voz susurraba y susurraba
«liberadme de todo el dolor».
Una vez de pequeño me cantó
la canción que de niño aprendió.
Carcajadas comenzaron a sonar,
porque él era alegre como yo.
Y él nos dijo adiós.
Va a reunirse pronto con su dios.
Lyrics translation
He traveled a long time on his watch.
He fought to be what he is today.
Fighter, stubborn and how not loving and tender like me.
Without thinking he taught me to react
to the warmth of his light and his voice.
A cane helped him walk,
but he was tough like me.
And the road is over.
His sweet, gray look flew away.
And his light went out like the flame
the lamp that burned a long time ago.
And his voice whispered and whispered
"free me from all the pain."
Once when I was little he sang to me
the song he learned as a child.
Laughter began to sound,
because he was cheerful like me.
And he said goodbye.
He's going to meet his God soon.
