[English]

Time had passed on his watch

He fought to be who he is today

A fighter, stubborn, and how could he not be?

Loving and tender like me

Without thinking, he taught me how to react

In the warmth of his fire and his voice

A cane helped him to walk

But he was tough like me

And the road came to an end

His sweet, gray gaze flew away

And his light went out like the flame

Of the oil lamp that burned a long time ago

And his voice whispered and whispered

“Free me from all the pain”

Once, when I was little, he sang to me

The song he learned as a child

Laughter began to ring out

Because he was cheerful like me

And he said goodbye to us

He’s going to reunite with his God soon

And his light went out like the flame

Of the oil lamp that burned a long time ago

And his voice whispered and whispered

“Free me from all the pain”

And he said goodbye to us

He’s going to reunite with his God soon

And his light went out like the flame

Of the oil lamp that burned so long ago

And his voice whispered and whispered

“Free me from all the pain”

And his light went out like the flame

Of the oil lamp that burned so long ago

And his voice whispered and whispered

“Free me from all the pain”

I want to end the pain

“Free me 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
