Qué maravilla [English translation]

How wonderful Goyo, how wonderful!

A sprout of your seed has come up.

What a joy brother, what a joy!

Of knowing your first son has come.

You'll be picking with no doubt...

the best stars for his cradle,

which will be the most beautiful, the simplest...

How wonderful Goyo, how wonderful!

So much time down the drain wasn't in vain,

now you have someone who holds your hand strong

and to sing in low voice all the lullabies

that you sang to me when I was little.

To the oxherd time came the relief

If before you were babysitter, you are it again.

Under your docile wings has a shelter

what you desired so much: your own son.

How wonderful Goyo, how wonderful!

A sprout of your seed has come up.

You see how whimsical is life.

It gives the thorn first, then the rose.

So long wishing to be father

and you never been more than friend.

You see, in some moment, the hare jumps

if the hope, man, is never lost.

You see how life compensated you

of the many wounds it caused you.

How wonderful Goyo, how wonderful!

A sprout of your seed has come up.

What a joy brother, what a joy!

Of knowing your first son has come.

You'll be picking with no doubt...

the best stars for his cradle,

which will be the most beautiful, the simplest...

How wonderful Goyo, how wonderful!
