Thread: Help me Translate This?

So my Spanish teacher is gone and can't translate this for me. It is a very moving song, and I don't want the native speakers to be left out because they can't understand. I tried, but I just can't get it right. Thank you!!!!

It's been a year daddy
I really, really miss you
Mommy says you're safe now
In a beautiful place called heaven

We had your favorite dinner tonight
I ate it all up

I learned how to swim this summer
I can even open my eyes while I'm under water

Can't you see me?
I started kindergarten this year
I carry a picture of us in my Blue's Clues lunchbox
You are the greatest daddy
I can swing on the swing by myself
Even though I miss you pushing me

Can't you see me?
I miss how you used to tickle me
Tickle my belly
My belly hurts
I try not to cry
Mommy says it's okay
I know you don't like it when I cry
You never wanted me to be sad

I try Daddy, but it hurts
Is it true you're not coming home?
Maybe someday
I can visit you in heaven, okay?
It's time for me to go bed now
I sleep with the light on
Just in case you come home
And kiss me good night

I love you so much
I miss you Daddy

Ha sido un ano papi

Te extranare muy muy mucho

mama dice que esta a salvo en un hermoso lugar llamado el cielo

hemos tenido su favorite cena de esta noche

me comi todo hasta

a pesar de que no me gusta las zanahorias

aprendido a nadar este verano

puedo abrir los ojos bajo el agua

no me puedes ver?

llevo una foto de nosotros en mi caja de almuerzo de Blue's Clue's

eres el mejor papa

puedo oscilar en el columpio por mi mismo

aunque te extrano me empujaba

no me puedes ver?

pruebo papa, pero duele

es verdadero hogar que no volver a casa?

tal vez algun dia

puedo quo lo visiten en el cielo, bueno?

duermo con la luz encendida

por se acaso llegar a casa

y besame buenos noches

te am muy mucho

Thank you so much!!

Ha pasado un año, Papito
I really, really miss you
Realmente, realmente te extraño
Mommy says you're safe now
Mami dice que estas a salvo
In a beautiful place called heaven
En un hermoso lugar llamado Cielo

We had your favorite dinner tonight
Hoy cenamos tu comida favorita
I ate it all up
La comi toda

I learned how to swim this summer
Aprendí a nadar este verano
I can even open my eyes while I'm under water
Inclusive puedo abrir mis ojos mientras me sumerjo

Can't you see me?
No Puedes verme?
I started kindergarten this year
Comence Jardin de Infantes este año
I carry a picture of us in my Blue's Clues lunchbox
Llevo una foto de nosotros en la lunchera de Blue's Clue's
You are the greatest daddy
Eres el mejor papito
I can swing on the swing by myself
Puedo hamacarme solo
Even though I miss you pushing me
Aunque extraño tus empujones

Can't you see me?
No puedes verme?
I miss how you used to tickle me
Extraño como me hacias cosquillas
Tickle my belly
Cosquillas en mi pancita
My belly hurts
Mi pancita duele
I try not to cry
Intento no llorar
Mommy says it's okay
Mami me consuela
I know you don't like it when I cry
Se que no te gusta cuando lloro
You never wanted me to be sad
Nunca quisiste verme triste

I try Daddy, but it hurts
Intento, papito, pero duele
Is it true you're not coming home?
Es verdad que no vienes a casa?
Maybe someday
Quiza algun dia
I can visit you in heaven, okay?
Puedo visitarte en el cielo, sí?
It's time for me to go bed now
Ya es hora de ir a la cama
I sleep with the light on
Duermo con la luz encendida
Just in case you come home
Solo en caso que vengas a casa
And kiss me good night
y me des el beso de las buenas noches

I love you so much
Te amo tanto
I miss you Daddy
Te extraño Papito
