Текст и перевод песни Hồng Nhung - Papa

Papa

Ngày còn thơ bé
Cha về khi đêm mờ sương ...

Ngọn đèn dầu hiu hắt
In hình cha tôi ngả vệt tường ...

Người dịu dàng hỏi thăm con
Và nhẹ nhàng ngồi bên con
Giọng cười hiền làm cho con
Được sưởi ấm dưới bóng cha

Đời nhọc nhằn là để cho con
Ngày lại ngày cặm cụi nuôi con
Chỉ một mình một mình cha tôi
Gà trống nuôi con từ bé thơ

Oh, Papa
Có những lúc con chợt thấy người
Ngồi thật buồn như đã ngậm ngùi
Tìm lại mẹ xuôi dòng tiếc nuối

Oh, Papa
Tháng năm qua nay cha đã già
Mong manh nghiêng nghiêng một bóng cả
Con chẳng làm được gì cho cha

Papa The days, the months and the years that passed by
Give me life
But you used to lie
And tell me they were ... happy tears
I wish you better and those tears were mine

I can feel your changed hand on my shoulder
A million memories, they start to wander
Now that I'm older, a little bit wiser
I know there's no greater than the love of yours

Oh, Papa
Do you remember?
We only had each other ... when there was nobody else

Oh, Papa
Have I ever thanked you?
I've always looked up to you
And you are always in my heart

Papa You were my eyes when I was crying
You were my blanket through the night
You were my strength when I had none to fight
You were my patience when there was no time

Oh, Papa
Do you remember?
We only had each other ... when there was nobody else

Oh, Papa
Have I ever thanked you?
I've always looked up to you
And you are always in my heart

Oh, Papa
Có những lúc con chợt thấy người
Ngồi thật buồn như đã ngậm ngùi
Tìm lại mẹ xuôi dòng tiếc nuối

Oh, Papa
Tháng năm qua nay cha đã già
Mong manh nghiêng nghiêng một bóng cả
Con chẳng làm được gì cho cha

Papa

When I was a little girl
My father came home at dusk ...

The kerosene lamp flickered
Casting the shadow of my father on the wall ...

He asked me about my day with a gentle voice
And sat down beside me
His kind smile made me feel
Warm and safe under his protection

He worked hard for me
Day after day, he raised me on his own
Just my father and me
A single father raising his young child

Oh, Papa
Sometimes I would see you
Sitting in silence, as if you were holding back tears
Longing for my mother

Oh, Papa
The years have passed and now you are old
Your body is frail, but your spirit is strong
I have not been able to do much for you

Papa The days, the months and the years that passed by
Give me life
But you used to lie
And tell me they were ... happy tears
I wish you better and those tears were mine

I can feel your trembling hand on my shoulder
A million memories, they start to wander
Now that I'm older, a little bit wiser
I know there's no greater than the love of yours

Oh, Papa
Do you remember?
We only had each other ... when there was nobody else

Oh, Papa
Have I ever thanked you?
I've always looked up to you
And you are always in my heart

Papa You were my eyes when I was crying
You were my blanket through the night
You were my strength when I had none to fight
You were my patience when there was no time

Oh, Papa
Do you remember?
We only had each other ... when there was nobody else

Oh, Papa
Have I ever thanked you?
I've always looked up to you
And you are always in my heart

Oh, Papa
Sometimes I would see you
Sitting in silence, as if you were holding back tears
Longing for my mother

Oh, Papa
The years have passed and now you are old
Your body is frail, but your spirit is strong
I have not been able to do much for you
