[English]

He traveled a long time on his clock

He fought to become who he is today

A fighter, stubborn, and why not?

Affectionate and tender, just like me

Without a second thought, he taught me how to react

By the warmth of his fire and his voice

A cane helped him walk

But he was tough, just like me

And the journey came to an end

His sweet, gray gaze took flight

And his light went out like the flame

Of the lamp that burned long ago

And his voice kept whispering and whispering

Set me free from all the pain

Once, when I was little, he sang to me

The song that he learned as a child

Laughter began to ring out

Because he was joyful, just like me

And he said goodbye to us

He will soon be reunited with his God

And his light went out like the flame

Of the lamp that burned long ago

And his voice kept whispering and whispering

Set me free from all the pain

...

And he said goodbye to us

He will soon be reunited with his God

And his light went out like the flame

Of the lamp that burned so long ago

And his voice kept whispering and whispering

Set me free from all the pain

And his light went out like the flame

Of the lamp that burned so long ago

And his voice kept whispering and whispering

Set me free from all the pain

I want to end the pain

Set me free from all the pain

I want to end the pain

...

[Spanish]

Recorrió largo tiempo en su reloj

Peleó para ser lo que es hoy

Luchador, testarudo y ¿cómo no?

Cariñoso y tierno como yo

Sin pensar, me enseñaba a reaccionar

Al calor de su lumbre y su voz

Un bastón le ayudaba a caminar

Pero, él era duro como yo

Y el camino acabó

Su mirada dulce y gris voló

Y su luz se apagó como la llama

Del candil que hace tiempo ardió

Y su voz susurraba y susurraba

Liberádme de todo el dolor

Una vez, de pequeño, me cantó

La canción que de niño aprendió

Carcajadas comenzaron a sonar

Porque él era alegre como yo

Y él nos dijo adiós

Va a reunirse pronto con su Dios

Y su luz se apagó como la llama

Del candil que hace tiempo ardió

Y su voz susurraba y susurraba

Liberádme de todo el dolor

Y él nos dijo adiós

Va a reunirse pronto con su Dios

Y su luz se apagó como la llama

Del candil que hace tanto tiempo ardió

Y su voz susurraba y susurraba

Liberádme de todo el dolor

Y su luz se apagó como la llama

Del candil que hace tanto tiempo ardió

Y su voz susurraba y susurraba

Liberádme de todo el dolor

Quiero terminar con el dolor

Liberádme de todo el dolor

Quiero terminar con el dolor
