Santa Fe Klan just shared something deeply personal with A Mi Viejo, his new single that dropped on October 23, 2025, via YouTube and streaming platforms. For those of us who don’t speak Spanish fluently, the English translation here opens up the full weight of this track—a raw tribute to his late father that turns grief into a quiet strength. It’s not just lyrics; it’s like reading a letter you wish you could send back in time, full of those small memories that hit hardest.
The song starts with that gut punch, “When my father left this world / I no longer knew what sadness was / My whole universe shook / Because one thinks life is eternal.” Santa Fe Klan, born Eduardo Hernández Sauceda in Santa Catarina, Nuevo León, has always woven his life into his music, from the street tales of Por Mi México to the family nods in tracks like Querida Madre. But here, he strips it down, reflecting on the “great wealth” his dad left behind—not money, but “his advice and his teachings / Sincere love that no one offers.” Lines like “Don’t wait for your old ones to leave / In life you love, dead you’re nothing” land as a universal reminder, especially around Día de los Muertos season when loss feels close for so many.

Lyrics of A Mi Viejo by Santa Fe Klan in English
[Verse 1]
When My Father Left This World
I No Longer Knew What Sadness Was
My Whole Universe Shifted
Because We Believe Life Is Eternal
[Verse 2]
This Pain Can’t Be Compared To Anything
I Wouldn’t Wish It On My Worst Enemy
Losing The Father Who Gave Me Life
Is A Feeling That Tears The Soul Apart
[Chorus]
The Great Treasure My Old Man Gave Me
Are His Advice And His Teachings
A Sincere Love That No One Else Offers You
It Doesn’t Exist, And Nothing Can Surpass It
[Bridge]
With Feeling
I Miss You, Dad
I Miss You So Much
I Dedicate This To You Up In Heaven
[Verse 3]
Beautiful Memories Of Those Mornings
When He Woke Up Very Early
With His Slow And Tired Steps
Dragging His Little Feet
[Verse 4]
Life Gives Us Great Lessons
We’re Just Passing Through This World
Don’t Wait Until Your Parents Are Gone
Love Them While They’re Alive, When Dead, You’re Nothing
[Chorus]
The Great Treasure My Old Man Gave Me
Are His Advice And His Teachings
A Sincere Love That No One Else Offers You
It Doesn’t Exist, And Nothing Can Surpass It
[Outro]
I Miss You, Dad
And Long Live Monterrey
Guanajuato
