Cuando Yo Queria Ser Grande [English translation]

They are going away, lost in time

My years pass remaining very far away

My father no longer has me by the hand

Only his advice

The memories of childhood live in me

When I wished on a star

How I remember my father

As with the way he used to smile

While my mother was looking on

Years that come gradually at first

With what slowness advance

How I wanted to be big, I remember

In order not to stay at home

And to accompany my father very far away

Perhaps even to the end of the world

Because my father was strong

He was very intelligent

He was better than everyone else

Today I no longer want the years to pass

Because now my father is old

Wrinkles have covered his hands

And snow his hair

Oh, Lord, stop time I beg you

Because you can do it

Because in truth I do not understand, my God why

The good goes away from us

When one day your footsteps become tired

I want to be the one who looks after you

Meanwhile give me your arm

And let us see what you are going to say to me
