Stromae - Papaoutai (Remix) (ft. Angel Haze) (English Translation)
[Verse 1: Stromae]
Tell me where he comes from
At last I’ll know where to go
Mommy says that when you look hard
You always find something
She says he’s never very far
He leaves very often to work
Mommy says, “Work is good”
Better than being in bad company
Right?

[Pre-Chorus: Stromae]
Where’s your dad?
Tell me where’s your dad?
Without even having to talk to him
He knows what’s wrong
Oh damn dad
Tell me where you’re hiding
I must’ve counted my fingers
At least a thousand times

[Chorus: Stromae & Angel Haze]
Where are you? Dad, where are you?
Where are you? Dad, where are you?
Where are you? Dad, where are you?
Where, where are you, where are you?
Dad, where are you?
Where are you? Dad, where are you?
Where are you? Dad, where are you?
Where are you? Dad, where are you?
Where, where are you, where are you?
Dad, where are you?
[Post-Chorus: Angel Haze]
Where are you papa?
Where are you papa?
Where are you papa?
Where are you papa?

[Verse 2: Angel Haze]
I followed you when you named the game
Hide and sought you in every place
Searched near and far for your face
And realized you weren't in this race
And I ran for the finish line, hand falling to the ground
Sorrow building in my mind, tears nearly had me drowned
How I grew without you is a task never mastered
Tell me what's a father what's a father to a bastard?
How'd you feel when you let me go?
Who made you? I'll never know
All signs floating through my head saying, "Stop, stop, no you'll never go"
See you should've told me you that you never stayed
Instead of slow pan and fade away
Now my brain being damaged
And my pain can't be managed
And I'll never know what made you this ways up

[Chorus: Stromae & Angel Haze]
Where are you? Dad, where are you?
Where are you? Dad, where are you?
Where are you? Dad, where are you?
Where, where are you, where are you?
Dad, where are you?
Where are you? Dad, where are you?
Where are you? Dad, where are you?
Where are you? Dad, where are you?
Where, where are you, where are you?
Dad, where are you?
[Post-Chorus: Angel Haze]
Where are you papa?
Where are you papa?
Where are you papa?
Where are you papa?

[Bridge: Angel Haze]
Didn’t even say “bye bye”
Didn’t even say “bye bye”
Didn't didn't didn't even say “bye bye”
Didn’t even say “bye bye”
Didn’t even say “bye bye”
Didn’t even say “bye bye”
Didn't didn't didn't even say “bye bye”
Didn’t even say “bye bye”

[Pre-Chorus: Stromae]
Where’s your dad?
Tell me where’s your dad?
Without even having to talk to him
He knows what’s wrong
Oh damn dad
Tell me where you’re hiding
I must’ve counted my fingers
At least a thousand times
[Chorus: Stromae & Angel Haze]
Where are you? Dad, where are you?
Where are you? Dad, where are you?
Where are you? Dad, where are you?
Where, where are you, where are you?
Dad, where are you?
Where are you? Dad, where are you?
Where are you? Dad, where are you?
Where are you? Dad, where are you?
Where, where are you, where are you?
Dad, where are you?

[Post-Chorus: Angel Haze]
Where are you papa?
Where are you papa?
Where are you papa?
Where are you papa?
