Father and Son

Cat Stevens

It's not time to make a change,

Just relax, take it easy
You're still young, that's your fault,
There's so much you have to know
Find a girl, settle down,
If you want you can marry
Look at me, I am old, but I'm happy
I was once like you are now, and I know that it's not easy,
To be calm when you've found something going on
But take your time, think a lot,
Why, think of everything you've got
For you will still be here tomorrow, but your dreams may not
How can I try to explain, when I do he turns away again
It's always been the same, same old story
From the moment I could talk I was ordered to listen
Now there's a way and I know that I have to go away
I know I have to go
It's not time to make a change,
Just sit down, take it slowly
You're still young, that's your fault,
There's so much you have to go through
Find a girl, settle down,
If you want you can marry
Look at me, I am old, but I'm happy
All the times that I cried, keeping all the things I knew inside,
It's hard, but it's harder to ignore it
If they were right, I'd agree, but it's them you know not me
Now there's a way and I know that I have to go away
I know I have to go

Father and Son

Cat Stevens
Padre e hijo
No es hora de hacer un cambio,
It's not time to make a change,

Solo rel�jate, t�malo con calma

Just relax, take it easy

A�n eres joven, es tu culpa.

You're still young, that's your fault,

Hay tanto que tienes que saber

There's so much you have to know

Encuentra una chica, si�ntate,

Find a girl, settle down,
Si quieres puedes casarte
If you want you can marry

M�rame, soy viejo, pero soy feliz.

Look at me, I am old, but I'm happy
Una vez fui como t� eres ahora, y s� que no es f�cil,
I was once like you are now, and I know that it's not easy,

Para estar tranquilo cuando haya encontrado algo pasando.

To be calm when you've found something going on

Pero t�mate tu tiempo, piensa mucho,

But take your time, think a lot,

Pues piensa en todo lo que tienes.

Why, think of everything you've got

Porque todav�a estar�s aqu� ma�ana, pero tus sue�os no.

For you will still be here tomorrow, but your dreams may not
�C�mo puedo tratar de explicar, cuando lo hago, se da la vuelta otra vez
How can I try to explain, when I do he turns away again

Siempre ha sido lo mismo, la misma vieja historia.

It's always been the same, same old story

Desde el momento en que pude hablar me ordenaron escuchar.

From the moment I could talk I was ordered to listen

Ahora hay un camino y s� que tengo que irme.

Now there's a way and I know that I have to go away

Yo se que tengo que ir

I know I have to go
No es hora de hacer un cambio,
It's not time to make a change,

Solo si�ntate, t�malo despacio

Just sit down, take it slowly

A�n eres joven, es tu culpa.

You're still young, that's your fault,

Hay tanto por lo que tienes que pasar

There's so much you have to go through

Encuentra una chica, si�ntate,

Find a girl, settle down,

Si quieres puedes casarte

If you want you can marry

M�rame, soy viejo, pero soy feliz.

Look at me, I am old, but I'm happy
Todas las veces que llor�, manteniendo todas las cosas que sab�a dentro,
All the times that I cried, keeping all the things I knew inside,

Es dif�cil, pero es m�s dif�cil ignorarlo.

It's hard, but it's harder to ignore it
Si tuvieran raz�n, estar�a de acuerdo, pero es a ellos a los que no conoces.
If they were right, I'd agree, but it's them you know not me

Ahora hay un camino y s� que tengo que irme.

Now there's a way and I know that I have to go away

Yo se que tengo que ir

I know I have to go
