Lyrics of Bebe En Mi Cántaro - Victor Heredia

Bebe En Mi Cántaro (original)

Cómo olvidar que fuimos dos
corriendo al valle sin temor
que de tu mano dibujé
mi barrilete de color,
Que me enseñaste a no mentir
que la dureza no es rigor
y cuando tuve que llorar
quisiste hacerlo tú por mí.
Padre, no tengas miedo
si se te achica el cielo.
Yo tengo un horizonte
de remansos para ti.
Tómate de mi brazo
y aminorando el paso
vamos a caminar
que es tiempo aún para comenzar.
Bebe en mi cántaro si tienes sed.
Por ti aprendí que la mujer
no es un adorno del varón.
Baraja donde duerme el rey
de corazones del amor.
Y por tus canas recorrí
este camino de aprender
y del baldío hasta tu voz
siempre fui un niño por crecer.

(translation)

How to forget that we were two
running to the valley without fear
that I drew from your hand
my colored kite,
that you taught me not to lie
that hardness is not rigor
and when i had to cry
you wanted to do it for me.
Father, don't be afraid
if the sky shrinks.
I have a horizon
of backwaters for you.
take my arm
and slowing down
Let's take a walk
that it is still time to start.
Drink in my pitcher if you are thirsty.
Because of you I learned that the woman
she is not an ornament of the male.
Shuffle where the king sleeps
of love hearts.
And I walked through your gray hair
this way of learning
and from the wasteland to your voice
I was always a child to grow up.
