A grandpa sobbed tears of joy when he heard his granddaughter sing a sentimental song in his native Spanish for the first time. Alyza Alanis, from Houston, Texas, learned the track in Spanish, despite not being able to speak the language. Her grandfather, Cesar, who himself doesn’t speak much English, loves hearing her sing but asked if she could learn a song in Spanish for him. Dutifully, Alyza picked a track that was close to her grandpa’s heart called Amor Eterno – Eternal Love – which his own mother had sung around the house after his father sadly passed. Alyza spent hours practicing the lyrics and understanding their meaning, before surprising her grandpa with a rendition at a family gathering on January 9, 2023. Video captured of the moment shows Alyza beginning to sing with Cesar sitting across the table from her. And as Alyza reaches the son’s emotional chorus, Cesar begins welling up, before wiping tears from his eyes as she soulfully sings the song. As she finishes, Cesar shouts “Gracias, gracias” before the pair embrace in a heartwarming hug.
