You used to just be an idea
Until I’ve found my own Maria
A dream I couldn’t understand
Clueless as I walked the land
One day in my care you landed
Right away, our souls were bound
I’ve welcomed you to the world
With my very best words
I wish you all
To enjoy and swim by the waterfalls
To grow good and strong
And to right all previous wrongs
To find yourself the one
To be responsible and have lots of fun
Like a miracle, you were born out of air
Because of you my dreams I dare
Since you’re looking, I must make it
And prove to you life is truly worth it
You gave your parents the greatest gift
Through life, we now happily drift
Another life more important than ours
To share the moment and stop at the flowers
You were what I’ve been waiting for
A true reason to pull off the score
To build a home
That cannot be blown
To be at my best behavior
My dear child, my world you color
An unegotistic reason for being
The greatest of all the feelings
To be responsible for a little one
I have arrived and stopped to run
My son the sun now shines
Life with you is so sublime
I hear the birds singing again
For you everything I can
At first, you were fully dependent
But I’ll teach you everything I can
So that one day by your wings you’ll fly
You are the son of the butterfly
You are what comes next
My legacy at its best
One day I’ll leave the world
And trust you’ll take over to spread the good word
What's needed for your time
Uphold our name and make it shine
Like my father and his father before me
You’ll lift our banner and keep it worthy
Make your ancestors proud in heaven
I’ve seen you grow, I know you can
You were what I’ve been waiting for
A true reason to pull off the score
To build a home
That cannot be blown
To be at my best behavior
My dear son, my world you color
