Padre
Manowar Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Mi hai preso per la mano
Padre ora lo sai
Che non è stato invano
Mi hai insegnato bene
A sapere vivere
Mi hai dato il dono
Non mi hai mai deluso
Mi hai reso forte
Tra i miei affanni
E i miei errori
A volte ridere
A volte combattere
Ma tu sapevi che
Ti avrei dato ragione
Sei con me
Nelle mie parole, ogni ora con me
In tutto quel che faccio
Vivi in me
Io sono parte di te
Vivesti per noi
Il piano era questo
Le tue mani generose
Lavoran la terra
Infaticabili mani
San solo dare
E ringrazio te
Oggi so vivere
Sei con me
Nelle mie parole, ogni ora con me
In tutto quello che faccio
Vivi in me
Io sono parte di te
Padre, un' ultima cosa
Tu hai sempre saputo
Che quello che hai detto
Era vero
The Italian lyrics of Manowar's song "Padre" talks about a father who has been a guide and a constant presence to his child. In the song, the singer addresses his father and tells him that he has not wasted his efforts in nurturing and teaching him. The father has been a great influence on his life and has given him the gift of life itself. The singer recognizes that his father has been a constant support system in his life, making him strong and helping him through his struggles and mistakes.
The singer further acknowledges that his father has taught him to laugh and fight (to be resilient and stand his ground), knowing that he will always stand by him. The father is always with him in his words and his actions, and the singer is proud to say that he is a part of him. The singer thanks his father for living for them and working hard on their land, making a better life for them. He recognizes that his father's hands are always generous, and he is forever grateful for his teachings.
The song "Padre" is a tribute to fathers and their influence on their children's lives. The song is based on the experience of Joey DeMaio, the band's bassist and lead songwriter, who lost his father in his early adulthood. DeMaio wrote the song as a tribute to his father, who had taught him many valuable lessons in life. The song has a touching melody that captures the emotions of a father-son bond.

Saludos Brothers of Metal! Que grande Eric, siendo sincero es un descojone total pero con muchisimo sentimiento. La verdad es que es un gran merito llevar sus palabras en 16 idiomas a todo el mundo sobre todo para los manoweros de España, que con esto nos dan una palmadita de colega a todos. Son grandes, los mejores, sigo soñando con verles en directo. Por cierto teneis que ver el discurso que dio Di Maio en Zaragoza que pusieron en youtube. Hail from Malaga.
