Lyrics
My son is almost three
– Haec enim sunt quasi tria
He used to look just like his dad
– Make me cum daddy
But right now he looks just like me
– Sed nunc ille vultus amo mihi
And as far as I can see, the fruit I bear is sweet
– Et quantum videre possum, fructus dulcis est
But the apple’s rolling real far from the tree
– Sed pomum volvens verum procul ab arbore
And falling down the hill so full of love and so carefree
– Et procidens ad montem tam plenus amoris et tam securus
I wonder if the world will treat him any better than it treated me
– Miror si mundus eum melius tractabit quam me tractavit
But papa, don’t you preach
– Sed tu, hypodidascale, non dicis
I tried to teach him every day that nothing good is free, but always should be
– Quotidie eum docere conatus sum nihil bonum esse liberum, sed semper esse
And with my roots above and all my branches down below
– Et cum radicibus meis supra et omnibus ramis meis deorsum
Please tell my boy I love him so
– Quaeso dic puero meo eum amo
Please tell the world I have to grow before I go
– Quaeso dic mundum me crescere antequam vadam
I just wanted you to know
– Ego iustus volo autem vos scire
That I believe in magic and I believe in sin
– Et magis est et ut et hic non totius dicamus
I still believe in Heaven, if they’ll never let me in
– Credo in Caelum, si numquam mihi in
I started to believe in love the day I met my little twin
– Ego coepi credere in amore diei geminae parum occurrit mihi
I think I might start tryin’ because I haven’t been
– Puto me tryin incipere ‘ quia non fuit
My Momma’s getting old
– Tutto diventa vecchio, forse anch ‘ io
Well, it’s contagious and you’ll catch it like a cold
– Bene, quod suus ‘ contagiosus et youll capere eam quasi frigus
She won’t admit it, but it’s something that I know
– Et non fateri, sed quod suus ‘ aliquid quod scio
‘Cause every year that passes for me passes her a hundredfold
– ‘Omne quod transit per annos singulos transit ad me transit eam centuplum
Back in the day, my dad and I would share a laugh at all of her mistakes
– Retro in diem, pater meus et ego risum communicabo omnibus eius erroribus
But that alliance didn’t save me from her fate
– Sed hoc non salvat nos de sua fata
No, it didn’t, I’m still twenty-eight
– Non, non, adhuc viginti octo sum
Became a single mom, just crushed under a rake
– Factus est unum mom, sicut oppressi sub rastro
Of a child growing faster than I think that I can take
– De puero citius crescens quam puto me capere posse
I love him anyway
– Eum usquam amo
And I remind myself a time will come when he sees me turn grey
– Et me alias tanto honore [honorasti] postmodum, et damna maxima intulisti
And realize it’s too late, like I did with my mother
– Et animadverto suus ‘ sero, sicut et ego feci matrem meam
So now I tell her to her face
– Nunc ergo dicam ei ad faciem
With my roots above and all my branches down below
– Cum radicibus meis supra et omnibus ramis meis deorsum
Please tell my mom I love her so
– Quaeso dic mater mea eam amo
Please tell the world I have to grow before I go
– Quaeso dic mundum me crescere antequam vadam
I just wanted you to know
– Ego iustus volo autem vos scire
That I believe in magic and I still believe in sin
– Et magis est et ut et hic non totius dicamus
I still believe in Heaven, if they’ll never let me in
– Credo in Caelum, si numquam mihi in
I started to believe in love the day I met my little twin
– Ego coepi credere in amore diei geminae parum occurrit mihi
And I might start tryin’ because I haven’t been
– Et potest incipere tryin ‘ quia non fui
I haven’t been, da-da-da-da
– Non iam es, da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-la-la
– [Ori] oremus
Da-da-da-da-la-la
– [Ori] oremus
Da-da-da-da-la-la
– [Ori] oremus
I love him so
– Eum amo
