Orestes made my kid cried

So a short story about...

We were going in my car to buy him some ice cream, it was a nice day and kinda hot so ice cream with dad.

While we were heading down I was just shuffling some songs in the car and suddenly Orestes came out. Nothing out of the ordinary for me. At least that's what I thought... The song ends and I started to heard him weep but quietly...I ask him what's wrong? And I swear to God what he said to me shook immediately.

He said: why is he so sad? And why is he upset about? Doesn't make sense why is he so sad and make him sing while he is so sad.... O.O!

Holy sh...!

So to give you some context: he's 5 and doesn't understand english but knows some words (the basic stuff)

So I'd ask him, do you feel sad about him? He answers "daddy yes...he's sad, don't know why he is sad but I'm sad for hearing him being sad."

After some talking with him about that... I discovered that he feels that song it's different from others songs he heard before, in his words "lovely but sad". Which for him, made him confused...

So..

I've cried many times at this song and seeing him cried without not knowing english....left me powerless and in shock for a little bit.
