My father had dementia My father had dementia Mi padre tenía demencia He lied in bed for months He lied in bed for months Mintió en la cama durante meses Once in a while he’d call me Once in a while he’d call me De vez en cuando él me llame And ask me to fly down And ask me to fly down Y me piden que vuelan I told him that I’d love to I told him that I’d love to Que le dije que me encantaría But I had things to do But I had things to do Pero yo tenía cosas que hacer And so he died without his son And so he died without his son Y así murió , sin su hijo I heard about it drunk after a show I heard about it drunk after a show Me enteré borracho después del show My mother battled cancer My mother battled cancer Mi madre luchó contra el cáncer For over seven years For over seven years Desde hace más de siete años I nursed her and I held her I nursed her and I held her Yo le cuidó y sostuvo que su When time was running out When time was running out Cuando el tiempo se agotaba The night before she left me The night before she left me La noche antes de que ella me dejó I drank scotch all night I drank scotch all night Bebí whisky toda la noche And thanked her for everything she’d done And thanked her for everything she’d done Y le dio las gracias por todo lo que había hecho Raising me alone wasn’t much fun Raising me alone wasn’t much fun El aumento era yo sola no es muy divertido Dad I can forgive you, Dad I can forgive you, Papá que le puedo perdonar, but I’ll never forget, but I’ll never forget, Pero nunca voy a olvidar, Months I wouldn’t see you and when I did Months I wouldn’t see you and when I did Meses no lo vea y cuando lo hice You’d be out with your friends all night You’d be out with your friends all night Usted estaría fuera con sus amigos toda la noche Alone and only nine Alone and only nine Solo y sólo nueve I watched the outer limits I watched the outer limits Vi The Outer Limits And scared out of my mind And scared out of my mind Y miedo de mi mente I wonder if you felt the same I wonder if you felt the same Me pregunto si tu sintieras lo mismo The days before you died The days before you died El día antes de morir I wonder if you even knew I wonder if you even knew Me pregunto si usted supiera Why I wouldn’t come around Why I wouldn’t come around ¿Por qué no llegabas I bet if you had been there, I bet if you had been there, Apuesto a que si usted hubiera estado allí, There wouldn’t be this song There wouldn’t be this song No habría b esta canción 2006 goodbye parents 2006 goodbye parents 2006 padres adiós For once I am sincere For once I am sincere Por una vez soy sincero 2006 my orphan year 2006 my orphan year mi año 2006 huérfanos
