Oh mon papa [English translation]

[L'Algérino]

Silence is golden and we can no longer find the words

Outside it's raining buckets like it's raining text messages

I don't tell you this often, my daughter, but I love you so much

[I've] trouble expressing myself, sometimes I don't have the words

It's crazy how you've grown up, I haven’t seen the time go by

Your teary eyes are drowning in regret

I may not be the father you were expecting

But I swear on my life, my daughter, that I'll change

It's only words (words)

Yes, only words (words)

I'll pick you up from school (from school)

I give you my word (my word)

[Emma]

Oh my daddy, come home (home)

You're my daddy (you're my daddy), my very own daddy (my very own daddy)

Oh my daddy, come home (home)

Don't listen to her (don't listen to her), pretend (pretend)

[L'Algérino]

[Your] mom, I'm going to surprise her, I'm going to go all out

Tell her to forgive me, I’ve been too proud

You know, your mother, I love her even if I don't say it to her all the time

It's true that we fight, I’ve made promises in the wind

You know grown-ups are dumb, they act deaf and dumb

I've been blind and I didn’t see that she was suffering

I’d like one last chance, if you knew how much I blame myself

The only thing that matters to me is to make you happy

It's just words (words)

Yes, only words (words, words)

I'll pick you up from school (I'll pick you up from school)

I give you my word (my word)

[Emma]

Oh my daddy, come home (home)

You're my daddy (you're my daddy), my very own daddy (my very own daddy)

Oh my daddy, come home (home)

Don't listen to her (don't listen to her), pretend (pretend)

[L'Algérino]

[On] my life (life), I swear I'm no longer the same (same)

I’ve come crashing back to reality (reality), I’m clinging to our ring (ring, ring)

[On] my life (life), I swear I'm no longer the same (I'm no longer the same)

I’ve come crashing back to reality (I've come crashing back to reality), I’m clinging to our ring (ring)

[Emma]

Oh my daddy, come home (home)

You're my daddy (you're my daddy), my very own daddy (my very own daddy)

Oh my daddy, come home (home)

Don't listen to her (don't listen to her), pretend (pretend)
