Translation of the song Mi Querido, Mi Viejo, Mi Amigo artist Roberto Carlos
Mi Querido, Mi Viejo, Mi Amigo
My Beloved, My Father, My Friend
Esos tus cabellos blancos, bonitos,
That grey hair of yours, so beautiful
ese hablar cansado, profundo,
that tired voice, so deep,
que me lee todo lo escrito
that reads to me everything that is written
y me enseña tanto del mundo...
and teaches me so much about the world...
Esos pasos lentos de ahora
And those slow steps, from now on
caminando siempre conmigo...
walking always with me…
Ya corrieron tanto, en la vida,
You ran already so much in your life,
mi querido, mi viejo, mi amigo...
my Beloved, my Father, my Friend.
Esa vida llena de historias
That life full of stories
y de arrugas marcadas por el tiempo,
and of wrinkles marked by time,
recuerdos de antiguas victorias,
is the recollection of old victories
son lágrimas lloradas al viento.
and tears wept to the wind.
Tu voz dulce y serena me calma
Your sweet, tranquil voice calms me down
y me ofrece refugio y abrigo.
and gives me comfort and shelter.
Va calando dentro de mi alma,
It goes deep inside my soul,
mi querido, mi viejo, mi amigo...
my Beloved, my Father, my Friend.
Tu pasado vive presente
Your past lives present
en las experiencias sentidas
in all that you feel,
en tu corazón, consciente
in your heart, which is aware
de las cosas bellas de la vida.
of the beautiful things of life.
Tu sonrisa franca me anima,
Your honest smile encourages me
tu consejo sabio me guía.
Your wise advises guide me.
Abro el corazón y te digo:
I open my heart and tell you
mi querido, mi viejo, mi amigo...
my Beloved, my Father, my Friend.
Yo te he dicho casi todo
I have told you almost everything,
y casi todo es poco
but that’s very little,
frente a lo que yo siento...
compared to what I feel.
Mirando tus cabellos tan bonitos
Looking at your grey hair, so beautiful,
abro el corazón y digo:
I open my heart and I say:
mi querido, mi viejo, mi amigo...
my Beloved, my Father, my Friend…
Mirando tus cabellos tan bonitos
Looking at your grey hair, so beautiful,
abro el corazón y digo:
I open my heart and I say:
mi querido, mi viejo, mi amigo...
my Beloved, my Father, my Friend…
Mirando tus cabellos tan bonitos
Looking at your grey hair, so beautiful,
abro el corazón y digo:
I open my heart and I say:
mi querido, mi viejo, mi amigo...
my Beloved, my Father, my Friend…
Mirando tus cabellos tan bonitos
Looking at your grey hair, so beautiful,
abro el corazón y digo:
I open my heart and I say:
mi querido, mi viejo, mi amigo...
my Beloved, my Father, my Friend…
