Cover art for El Torrente lyrics by Minus the Bear

He had a daughter He hoped to live through Four years old, ten years reach to this girl

The way I read this, is that the man has a 4 yr old daughter, and he wants her to grow up safely, so that when shes older he can live through her, like the way that parents revel in their childs accomplishments, and they feel in a way as if they suceeded because their children did. At the moment shes too young for him to really live through her, because shes too busy being a kid.
