Papa

Papa
C'était le 20 mai 2002
Il était à peu près 21 heures
Ma princesse n’allait pas tarder à arriver
Papa, t’as ressenti quoi le jour de ma naissance?
Le jour où toi t’es venue au monde
J’aurais pu faire le tour de la planète à pied, le dire à tout l’monde
J'étais tellement fier, pour remercier le ciel
Que t’ailles bien reste l’essentiel
J’veux pas être ce papa artiste
Qu'élève sa fille avec des chèques sans savoir pourquoi elle est triste
Donner de l’argent quand on cherche de l’amour
J’ai pas été élevé comme ça, tu l’seras pas à ton tour
Même à des kilomètres, on se verra toujours
Je garderai mon rôle pour toi et ça j’te l’jure
Les week-ends passent trop vite, ma fille, t’es un amour
C’est promis, on s’revoit dans quinze jours
Shanel, écoute c’est Papa qui te parle
Papa qui t'écris, Papa qui te dis
Shanel, je n’serais jamais c’Papa qui t’oublie
Ce Papa qui s’enfuit, tu resteras ma fille (tu m’le promets?)
Shanel, écoute c’est Papa qui te parle
Papa qui t'écris, Papa qui te dis
Shanel, je n’serais jamais c’Papa qui t’oublie
Ce Papa qui s’enfuit, tu resteras ma fille
J’te regarde danser, et j’te regarde jouer, j’te regarde changer
Quand j’te regarde ça m’donne la force de pas flancher
Comme ces moments durs où ta Maman revient t’chercher
J’ai jamais su dire au revoir, mais c’est comme ça tu sais
Mais sache que t’es entre de bonnes mains, c’est vrai
Même séparés, tes deux parents t’aimeront toujours
Ne grandis pas trop vite, une enfance se savoure
On n’vit plus comme avant, mais rien ne change pour toi
J’veux jamais que t’aies peur, ni que tu doute de quoi qu’ce soit
Papa a revit sa vie mais t’en fais toujours partie
Tu seras toujours le centre de ma vie
Le centre de ma vie
Shanel, écoute c’est Papa qui te parle
Papa qui t'écris, Papa qui te dis
Shanel, je n’serais jamais c’Papa qui t’oublie
Ce Papa qui s’enfuit, tu resteras ma fille (tu m’le promets?)
Shanel, écoute c’est Papa qui te parle
Papa qui t'écris, Papa qui te dis
Shanel, je n’serais jamais c’Papa qui t’oublie
Ce Papa qui s’enfuit, tu resteras ma fille
Je savoure tous ces moments privilégiés
Qui effacent à la seconde tout ce temps où j’suis inquiet
Parce que j’ai peur de louper certaines choses
Mais j’suis rassuré quand tu cours dans mes bras et qu’ta joie explose
Papa t’en as qu’un et il est là
Y a personne qui dira l’contraire, t’inquiète pas
On a encore des tas d’choses à vivre ensemble
Des tas d’anniversaires, de Noël à vivre ensemble
Tu peux déjà te dire que t’as deux maisons
Que ta famille est forte, que t’as hérité de leurs dons
T’es ma chair, t’es mon sang, t’es ma vie
Magique, ce lien spécial qu’y a entre un père et sa fille
Shanel, écoute c’est Papa qui te parle
Papa qui t'écris, Papa qui te dis
Shanel, je n’serais jamais c’Papa qui t’oublie
Ce Papa qui s’enfuit, tu resteras ma fille (tu m’le promets?)
Shanel, écoute c’est Papa qui te parle
Papa qui t'écris, Papa qui te dis
Shanel, je n’serais jamais c’Papa qui t’oublie
Ce Papa qui s’enfuit, tu resteras ma fille
Promis, hein?
Toute façon j’me fais pas d’souci mon p’tit papounet
Papou, je t’aime

Dad
Shanel
Dad
It was May 20, 2002
It was about 21 hours
My princess was soon to arrive
Dad, what did you feel the day I was born?
The day you came into the world
I could have walked around the planet, told everyone.
I was so proud, to thank heaven
That you are well remains the main thing
I don't want to be that artist dad
That raises his daughter with checks without knowing why she is sad
Giving money when looking for love
I wasn't raised like this, you won't be raised like this.
Even miles away, we'll always see each other
I'll keep my part to you and I swear it
Weekends go by too fast, my girl, you're a love
I'll see you in a fortnight.
Shanel, listen, dad's talking to you.
Dad who writes To You, Dad who tells you
Shanel, I'll never be Daddy who forgets you
This Dad who runs away, you will remain my daughter (you promise me?)
Shanel, listen, dad's talking to you.
Dad who writes To You, Dad who tells you
Shanel, I'll never be Daddy who forgets you
That Daddy who runs away, you will remain my daughter
I watch you dance, and I watch you play, I watch you change
When I look at you it gives me the strength not to flank
Like those hard times when your mom comes back for you
I never knew how to say goodbye, but that's how you know
But know you're in good hands, right?
Even separated, your two parents will always love you
Do not grow too fast, a childhood is savored
We don't live like we used to, but nothing changes for you.
I never want you to be afraid or doubt anything.
Dad relived his life but you're still a part of it
You'll always be the center of my life
The center of my life
Shanel, listen, dad's talking to you.
Dad who writes To You, Dad who tells you
Shanel, I'll never be Daddy who forgets you
This Dad who runs away, you will remain my daughter (you promise me?)
Shanel, listen, dad's talking to you.
Dad who writes To You, Dad who tells you
Shanel, I'll never be Daddy who forgets you
That Daddy who runs away, you will remain my daughter
I enjoy all these privileged moments
That erase to the second all that time I'm worried
Because I'm afraid to miss some things
But I'm reassured when you run in my arms and your joy explodes
Dad, you only have one and he's here.
There is no one who will say otherwise, don't worry
We still have a lot to live with
Lots of birthdays, from Christmas to live together
You can already tell yourself that you have two houses
That your family is strong, that you have inherited their gifts
You're my flesh, you're my blood, you're my life
Magical, that special bond between a father and his daughter
Shanel, listen, dad's talking to you.
Dad who writes To You, Dad who tells you
Shanel, I'll never be Daddy who forgets you
This Dad who runs away, you will remain my daughter (you promise me?)
Shanel, listen, dad's talking to you.
Dad who writes To You, Dad who tells you
Shanel, I'll never be Daddy who forgets you
That Daddy who runs away, you will remain my daughter
Promise, huh?
Anyway I don't care my little daddy
Daddy, I love you
