Poem-Song...The Father's Sad Song!

THE FATHER´S SAD SONG 

I'M SENDING YOU THE SONG I TOLD YOU ABOUT THAT I WROTE REGARDING MY FATHER'S WORDS TO ME ON MY TRIP TO THE US IN 1998-1999.
FROM a collection of Poem-songs called,
(DE MI LIBRO DE POESIAS Y CANCIONES

"THANKSGIVING", Accion de Gracias)

A COLLECTION OF POEMS CALLED "THANKSGIVING", DEDICATED TO MY FATHER FOR HIS BIRTHDAY, WHICH IS ON VALENTINE'S DAY.  This song is based on the words dad said to us as we were getting ready to return to Argentina from our trip to a Family Reunion.

(DEDICADO A MI PADRE PARA SU CUMPLEAÑOS EN EL DIA DE SAN VALENTINO - EL 14 DE FEBRERO).  HECHO A BASE DE LAS ULTIMAS PALABRAS QUE NOS DIJO CUANDO NOS SALUDAMOS EN EL VIAJE A ESTADOS UNIDOS EN EL AÑO 1998-(1999).  VOLVI A LA ARGENTINA DESDE ESTADOS UNIDOS EN ENERO, Y MUCHAS VECES PENSABA EN LAS PALABRAS DE MI PAPA Y EN JUNIO, cerca Día del Padre, DE PRONTO, ME VINO LA CANCION.  Con Lucas la practicamos, y un día llamamos a mi papa y se la cantamos!

(ESCRITO EN JUNIO, 1999 PARA EL DIA DEL PADRE)

 (Written in June, near Father’s Day, when it came to me suddenly.  I thought about his words many times since returning in January, and suddenly the song appeared on its own!)  We practiced singing it with Lucas, and we called Dad on the phone and sang it to him one day.

THE FATHER'S SAD SONG

I WISH YOU COULD STAY,

BUT I KNOW YOU HAVE TO GO...

 I WISH YOU COULD STAY RIGHT HERE,

BUT I KNOW YOU HAVE TO GO...

 SO GO, LIVE YOUR LIFE,

I'LL BE HERE WHEN SOME DAY YOU RETURN.

SO GO.  JUST GO.

DESEARIA QUE TE QUEDES,

PERO SE QUE TIENES QUE PARTIR.

SOLO VE. VIVE BIEN.

AQUI ESTARE...CUANDO REGRESES ALGUN DIA.

SOLO VE. BIEN.

SO GO.  JUST GO.

AND LIVE IT FULLY.  ENJOY EACH MOMENT.

...I WISH YOU COULD STAY.

BUT I KNOW YOU HAVE TO GO.

SO GO.  JUST GO.

YOU'VE GOT PEOPLE TO SEE,

THINGS TO DO, AND SONGS TO SING.

SO GO.  JUST GO.

VIVILA PLENAMENTE.

DISFRUTA LA VIDA.

SOLO VE.  VIVE BIEN.

AQUI ESTARE...CUANDO REGRESES ALGUN DIA.

SOLO VE. VIVE BIEN.

TIENES COSAS QUE HACER.

MUCHA GENTE PARA VER,

Y CANCIONES P'CANTAR.

JUST DO WHAT'S RIGHT...PLEASE DO WHAT'S RIGHT.

HACELO CORRECTO.  (POR FAVOR, TE PIDO)...

SO GO.  JUST GO...

...I KNOW I MUST GO, AND GO INTO THE WORLD.

YOU KNOW I MUST GO...

SEE ALL THINGS COME ANEW.

SO I'LL GO.  LIVE MY LIFE. 

YOU'LL BE HERE WHEN, SOMEDAY, ...I ... RETURN!

QUISIERA QUEDARME, AUNQUE SE QUE TENGO QUE IR.  ME IRE, VIVIRE.  ESTARAS, UN DIA... REGRESARE.
