Cuando Yo Quería Ser Grande Vicente Fernández (English Translation) Lyrics

My years are getting lost in time
They are getting very far away
No longer does my father hold my hand
Only his advice

The memories of my childhood live in me
When I used to wish upon a star
How I remember my father
Who would smile with those eyes, while my mother watched

Years that come slowly, at first
How slowly they advance
How I wanted to grow up, I remember
So I wouldn’t have to stay home

And accompany my father far away
Maybe even to the end of the world
Because my father was strong, he was very intelligent
He was better than anyone

Today, I don’t want the years to pass by
Because my father is already old
Wrinkles have covered his hands
And snow has covered his hair

Oh, Lord, stop time, I ask of You
Because You can do it
Because I truly don’t understand
My God, why do we lose the good things

When your steps grow tired one day
I want to be the one who takes care of them
In the meantime, give me your arm
And let’s see, let’s see what you’re going to tell me
