Something's happening to my hero, something's happening
Algo le pasa a mi héroe, algo le pasa
I only see a void, in his gaze
Tan solo veo un vacío, en su mirada
Something's happening to my hero, he says nothing
Algo le pasa a mi héroe, no dice nada
He doesn't repeat the stories he used to tell me
No repite las historias que me contaba
Something's happening to my hero, he's lost his strength
Algo le pasa a mi héroe, perdió sus fuerzas
He no longer says my name, he doesn't remember
Ya no pronuncia mi nombre, no lo recuerda
Neither his body nor his mind, are what they were
Ni su cuerpo ni su mente, son lo que era
He seems to be floating among the stars
Pareciera andar flotando por las estrellas
Unwittingly entered a world, where there's no pain or glory
Sin querer entro en un mundo, donde no hay penas ni glorias
Every step he takes, erases a memory
Cada paso que va dando, va borrando una memoria
I see the tree of his life, slowly shedding its leaves
Veo que el árbol de su vida, poco a poco se deshoja
And that oak that was strong, with the years it collapses
Y aquel roble que era fuerte, con los años se desploma
I talk to him about us, about the things we lived
Yo le hablo de nosotros, de las cosas que vivimos
That I have his same name and carry his last name
Que tengo su mismo nombre y que llevo su apellido
That he's given me two brothers, and I'm forever grateful
Que me ha dado dos hermanos, que le vivo agradecido
Because he was the best father, a son could ever have
Porque ha sido el mejor padre, que pueda tener un hijo
And he listens, but doesn't speak to me
Y él me escucha, pero no me habla
Something's happening to my hero, where would he go
Algo le pasa a mi héroe, donde se iría
The one who was my example, was my guide
Aquel que fuera mi ejemplo, era mi guía
He's become a child, who would have thought
Se ha convertido en un niño, quien lo diría
Now it's our turn to care for him, as he did
Ahora nos toca cuidarlo, como él lo hacía
Unwittingly entered a world, where there's no pain or glory
Sin querer entro en un mundo, donde no hay penas ni glorias
Every step he takes, erases a memory
Cada paso que va dando, va borrando una memoria
I see the tree of his life, slowly shedding its leaves
Veo que el árbol de su vida, poco a poco se deshoja
And that oak that was strong, with the years it collapses
Y aquel roble que era fuerte, con los años se desploma
And my mother dedicates, every hour of her day
Y mi madre le dedica, cada hora de su día
Keeping the promise to love him all her life
Manteniendo la promesa de amarlo toda la vida
And the grandchildren are growing, the family gets bigger
Y los nietos van creciendo, se hace grande la familia
And if his eyes could speak, surely they'd say
Y si sus ojos hablarán, seguramente dirían
That he still knows us
Que nos conoce todavía
Something's happening to my hero
Algo le pasa a mi héroe
Something's happening
Algo le pasa
