Papi I know the constant pain you feel now The brightness in your eyes is long gone America is slowly killing you work, money, me Papi You are like a morir soƱando on a hot day so sweet and cold I know you miss it all the people, the food, the music A place with so many vivid memories it ain't leaving your head soon I don't miss it cause how can you miss a place that never made you Papi Believe me I'm a ghost The thorns of a rose hurt you less than my lack of words Keeping up with my silence is wearing you down, hopefully all the grudges in my heart will one day drown Papi I know I don't say "te quiero mucho" Believe me those words are engraved in my soul waiting to be free one day Papi I know things are difficult I hope we're okay soon my future would provide for us you'll be able to eat at a dinner table Even though I'm a mess, I will be able Papi You've worked all your life Coming to a new country ain't easy when you're 27 Papi Everything will be okay Quisqueya isn't going anywhere it will be there waiting for you Papi Forgive me for any harm I've caused you I forgive you
