Lyrics & Translation

[English] He's a good guy, my old man

Walking alone, just waiting
He’s got long sadness
From walking so much
I watch him from afar
But we're so different
He grew up with the century
With streetcars and red wine

Old man, my dear old man

Now you walk slowly
Like you're forgiving the wind
I am your blood, my old man
Your silence and your time
His eyes are good
And he has a heavy figure
Age has caught up with him
Without carnival or parade
I have the years anew
And he has the old man’s years

He carries pain inside
And has stories beyond time

Old man, my dear old man
Now you walk slowly

Like you're forgiving the wind

I am your blood, my old man
Your silence and your time
I am your blood, my old man, yes
Your silence and your time
I am your blood, my old man
