The song is an emotional bolero ballad dedicated to Mario\u2019s dad, Carlos Daniel Bautista, whom he honors for showing him pure love and teaching him not to fear anything in life.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/li>\n \n\tNot precisely a song from son to father or father to son, but in \u201cMi Viejo,\u201d Chilean newcomer Mati G\u00f3mez tells the story of the best dating advice he\u2019s received from his dad. \u201cOne day my old man told me\/that just as you win you also lose sometimes\/ To not give my heart to those who do not deserve\/ To not fall in love with all the ones I kiss,\u201d he sings in the pop-reggaet\u00f3n track.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/li>\n \n\tIn the midst of the global pandemic, on Father\u2019s Day 2020, Ozuna dropped \u201cMi Ni\u00f1a,\u201d a sweet reggaet\u00f3n track that was released as \u201ca gift to my daughter primarily and for all of you. Congratulations to all the fathers of the world on their week and always,\u201d he expressed in the caption of his YouTube video. The music video features the Puerto Rican artist and his baby girl. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/li>\n \n\tAn all-time classic, this 1960s ballad was originally released by Italian-Argentine artist Piero and is dedicated to his father \u2014 or as the title indicates, \u201cmy old man.\u201d The timeless Father\u2019s Day anthem tells a story about an older gentleman whose years have finally caught up to him, and whose son is his very own reflection. \u201cMi Viejo\u201d has been covered by many artists, including Vicente Fern\u00e1ndez, Leo Dan, Elefante and Antony Santos.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/li>\n \n\tRoberto Carlos created a true classic in this song about friendship that is perfect to dedicate to a close and loving father: \u201cYou are my soul friend every day\/ A smile and a festive hug at each arrival\/ You tell me such great truths with open phrases\/ You are really the most certain thing in uncertain hours,\u201d goes part of the lyrics. Co-written by Roberto Carlos and his frequent collaborator Erasmo Carlos, to whom the singer dedicated the song, \u201cAmigo\u201d originally debuted in Portuguese as part of his self-titled album in 1977. Two years later, its popularity got a boost when a children\u2019s choir sang it for Pope John Paul II during his visit to Mexico.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/li>\n \n\tPenned by Juan Gabriel for his mother, but made popular by Roc\u00edo D\u00farcal in the early \u201980s, \u201cAmor Eterno\u201d is a timeless ranchera about loving someone unconditionally and eternally, even after their passing. \u201cHow I wish that you were still alive\/ That your dear eyes had never, ever closed\/ so I could still be gazing into them\/ Eternal, unforgettable love\/ sooner or later, I will be with you,\u201d D\u00farcal passionately chants.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/li>\n \n\tOn his song \u201cLuka\u201d from his 2022 album\u00a0Mundo<\/em>, Santa Fe Klan pours his heart out, smoothing his usual hard-hitting bars to a more melodic approach. \u201cLet\u2019s walk the world together\/ Ask the moon how much I love you\/ This is true love and the love is so true,\u201d sings the Mexican rapper in Spanish against the tender, stripped-down piano ballad. \u201cThe song \u2018Luka\u2019 was written for my unborn son at the time [\u2026] I also have his name on my fingers,\u201d\u00a0he told\u00a0Billboard Espa\u00f1ol<\/em>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/li>\n \n\tSet against a smooth, soulful hip-hop beat, Tego Calder\u00f3n\u2019s \u201cA Mi Pap\u00e1\u201d is a touching rap tribute to his father. Lyrically rich and emotionally vulnerable, the song paints a portrait of love and respect for the man who shaped his life. Calder\u00f3n\u2019s raw honesty in reflecting on his father\u2019s sacrifices and wisdom evokes a similar conviction as Tupac\u2019s \u201cDear Mama.\u201d El Abayarde, as he\u2019s also known, delivers an homage that resonates with anyone who cherishes the enduring impact of a parent\u2019s love.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/li>\n \n\tFew songs capture the innocence of childhood quite like \u201cHoy Tengo Que Decirte Pap\u00e1\u201d by Timbiriche. With its joyous lyrics sung through a youthful lens, this classic Mexican pop ballad feels like an earnest letter to all fathers. The upbeat melody contrasts beautifully with the tender message: an expression of love, appreciation, and admiration for the sacrifices and wisdom of a father\u2019s role. As the \u201880s children\u2019s group harmonizes, their words evoke universal feelings of connection and nostalgia, making it a song that has stood the test of time as a cherished anthem for Father\u2019s Day or any occasion honoring dads.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/li>\n \n\tAccompanied by nostalgic sierre\u00f1o guitars and a soulful tuba, Ulises Chaidez\u2019s \u201cPara Ti Pap\u00e1\u201d is an intimate tribute to the quiet sacrifices of fatherhood. With lyrics like \u201cI know you love me even though you hardly say so\/ I know you miss me, your hugs tell me so,\u201d the Mexican singer reflects on the unspoken bond between father and son. The song blends tender melodies with heartfelt storytelling, honoring the legacy of love and lessons passed from one generation to the next.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/li>\n \n\tThe Mexican ranchera star has many anthems that could be sung on many occasions. But a must for Father\u2019s Day is his nostalgic \u201cEl Hombre Que M\u00e1s te Am\u00f3 (The Man That Loved You the Most)\u201d sung from a father\u2019s perspective dedicated to his kids. \u201cWhen you miss your father, who\u2019s gone to heaven with God\/ If you want to hug him or show him your love, the kisses that you give your children\/ I will receive them also.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/li>\n \n\tV\u00edctor Manuelle opened his heart in 2015 with the emotional \u201cAlgo Le Pasa A Mi H\u00e9roe,\u201d a song dedicated to his father in which he addressed the disease that was afflicting him: Alzheimer\u2019s. \u201cSomething\u2019s wrong with my hero, something\u2019s wrong with him\/ I only see a void in his gaze\/ Something\u2019s wrong with my hero, he doesn\u2019t say anything\/ He doesn\u2019t repeat the stories he used to tell me,\u201d begins the moving track. In 2020, two years after the death of his dad, the salsa star released a new version of the song with Tommy Torres, Kany Garc\u00eda, Gilberto Santa Rosa, Pedro Cap\u00f3, and Noel Schajris to benefit the Association of Alzheimer\u2019s and Related Disorders of Puerto Rico.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n [analyse_source url=”https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/lists\/best-fathers-day-latin-songs-playlist-ozuna-vicente-fernandez-pepe-aguilar\/”]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" [analyse_image type=”featured” src=”https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/1187728182-e1779813666125.jpg?w=1024″] With Father\u2019s Day on June 21, Billboard has put together a list of heartfelt dad-related Latin songs, ranging from regional Mexican to tropical to urban to pop.\u00a0 On the list is Vicente Fern\u00e1ndez\u2018s \u201cEl Hombre Que M\u00e1s Te\u00a0Am\u00f3\u201d (\u201cThe Man Who Most Loved You\u201d), a heartfelt ranchera ballad that speaks about the […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[48,226],"class_list":["post-1958487","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-politics","tag-billboard-com","tag-crawlmanager"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1958487","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1958487"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1958487\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1958487"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1958487"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1958487"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Christian Alicea, \u201cBendici\u00f3n Mame y Pape\u201d<\/h2>\n
