Mi Padre Alejandro Fernández (English Translation) Lyrics

My years are getting lost in time
They are getting very far away
My father no longer takes my hand
Only his advice
I have memories of my childhood
When I used to wish upon a star
I remember my father smiling at that while my mother watched
Years that come slowly at first
How slowly they advance
I always wanted to grow up
So I wouldn’t stay at home
And accompany my father very far away
Maybe even to the end of the world
Because my father was strong, he was very smart, he was better than anyone
Today I don’t want the years to pass
Because my father is already old
Wrinkles have covered his hands and his hair is white
Oh Lord stop time, I ask you because you can do it
Because I truly don’t understand my God why the good ones leave us
When your steps grow weary one day, I want to be the one who takes care of them
In the meantime, give me your arm and let’s see what you’re going to tell me
