Alejandro Garza

Tengo muchas cosas que hacer y ver.

No se aten a mí por mis agobios.

Por los hermosos años que vivimos juntos,

demos gracias a Dios

y a mi familia,

Ustedes recuerden la alegría que me dieron

Los abrazo a cada uno de ustedes

Por el cariño que me brindaron, pero ahora

tengo que viajar solo.

Si necesitan llorar, lloren, pero

Dejen que su fe en Dios conforte su corazón;

Solo nos separaremos un tiempo,

Mantengan mi recuerdo en sus corazones.

La vida sigue adelante. No estaré lejos

Si me necesitan, piensen en mí,

Aunque no me miren, ni me puedan tocar,

Estaré entre ustedes y sentirán mi calor

De mi amor en sus corazones.

Cuando ustedes los toquen viajar por este camino,

Yo los recibiré con una sonrisa y les diré

¡Bienvenidos!

When I Leave

When I leave, let me go…

I have many things to do and see.

Do not hold on to me because of my sorrows.

For the beautiful years we shared,

let us give thanks to God

and to my family.

Remember the joy you gave me.

I embrace each one of you

for the love you gave me, but now

I must travel alone.

If you need to cry, cry, but

let your faith in God comfort your heart.

We will only be apart for a while.

Keep my memory in your hearts.

Life goes on. I will not be far away.

If you need me, think of me.

Although you cannot see me or touch me,

I will be among you, and you will feel my warmth,

the warmth of my love in your hearts.

When you, too, travel this path,

I will welcome you with a smile and say,

“Welcome!”
