Chanson Pour Papa
Amel Bent Lyrics

Loin des yeux, loin du cœur
When something or someone is out of sight, it is easy to forget about them.

On s'habitue à tout
We humans can get used to anything with time.

Mais il y a de ces douleurs
However, there are some pains in life that we carry with us always.

Qu'on garde toujours en nous
These pains are deeply ingrained in our souls.

C'est fou comme j'ai grandi
It's amazing how much I've grown up since you've been gone.

Et avancé sans toi
I've moved forward with my life without you by my side.

Ton absence me déchire
However, your absence still tears me apart inside.

J'ai trop besoin d'un papa
I still need a father figure.

J'ai honte de moi
I feel guilty for not demanding to be with you more often.

J'ai honte d'avoir acceptée d'être loin de toi
I blame myself for accepting being away from you without protest.

Sans jamais te réclamer
I never asked to be with you more often.

Je chante pour toi, pour toi papa
I sing this song for you, my father.

Pardonne moi, pardonne moi
Please forgive me for not making it more clear how much I needed you.

Pour toutes ces choses qu'on ne se dit pas
This song is for all the things that we never talked about.

Je sais que je te manque, que t'aimerais être là
I know you miss me and wish you were here with me.

Que tu regrettes le passé
I know you struggle with feelings of regret about the past.

Que ton présent tu ne l'aimes pas
You're not happy with your current situation.

Que tu t’ennuies dans la vie, et que je suis ton soleil
You feel bored and unfulfilled, and I bring light and happiness to your life.

Car après tout je suis ta fille
After all, I am your daughter.

Je serais toujours la plus belle
To you, I'll always be the most beautiful one.

J'ai mal de toi
It hurts me that we're apart.

J'ai mal de t'avoir vu pleurer pour la première fois
It was hard for me to see you cry for me that first time.

Ce jour où tu m'as vu chanter
The day you saw me sing.

Hum
Sound effect.

Eh hum
Sound effect.

(J'ai honte) de moi
I feel guilty for not asking to be with you more often.

Je chante pour toi, pour toi papa
I sing this song for you, my father.

Ouuhmmmouuhmm
Sound effect.

Mhmhmhmmhmhmhmmhm
Sound effect.

Ahhhahhhhahhhhahhhh
Sound effect.

Papa
Dad.
