Lyrics: Vater, Father, mon père

German, French & English
English
 

Vater, Father, mon père

Viel zu klein war meine Hand
Dass sie in deiner ganz verschwand
Da drinnen konnte ich mit dir sein
Dort war ich nicht allein

Viel zu klein war mein Verstand
Um zu verstehen, dass du nicht bleiben kannst
Da draußen musstest du sein
Dort warst du irgendwo daheim

Zu dir mein Vater wollt' ich geh'n
Um deinen Augen anzusehen
Ob sie für mich allein, als wär's geheim
Unsagbares erzählen

Quand je rêvais, j'ai vu
Les rues inconnues
Qui mèneraient chez toi, pas loin d'ici
Je comptais le nombre de pas
Pour arriver là-bas

Serais-tu endormi
Comme moi, dans ton lit ?
Est-ce qu'il pleut là où tu es, aussi ?
Penses-tu à moi quelquefois
Comme je pense à toi ?

Comme j'ai rêvé de te retrouver
Découvrir un de tes regards secrets
J'aurais parcouru la terre pour le bonheur
De prendre ta main, mon père

Did you turn your lights all out?
Didn't you close your eyes and thought about
Someone thinking of you the way I do?

I dreamed of finding you somewhere
Father, your eyes would hide a glare
Telling me all alone
A tale unknown
I dreamed I would be there

Zu dir mein Vater wollt' ich geh'n
Um deinen Augen anzusehen
Ob sie für mich allein, als wär's geheim
Unsagbares erzählen

Comme j'ai rêvé de te retrouver
Découvrir un de tes regards secrets
J'auraiѕ parcouru la terre pour le bonheur
De prendre ta main, de prendre ta mаin, mon père
Mon père

Father, Father, my father

My hand was far too small
That it completely disappeared in yours
In there, I could be with you
There, I wasn't alone

My mind was far too small
To understand that you couldn't stay
You had to be outside
There, you were at home somehow

I wanted to go to you, my father
To look into your eyes
Whether they were just for me, as though it were a secret
To say unspeakable things

When I was dreaming, I saw
Unknown streets
Which led to you not far from here
I counted the number of steps
To get there

Would you be asleep
Like me, in your bed?
Is it raining where you are too?
Do you think of me sometimes
Like I think of you?

How I dreamed of finding you again
Discovering one of your secret looks
I would have travelled the Earth for the happiness
Of taking your hand, my father

Did you turn your lights all out?
Didn't you close your eyes and thought about
Someone thinking of you the way I do?

I dreamed of finding you somewhere
Father, your eyes would hide a glare
Telling me all alone
A tale unknown
I dreamed I would be there

I wanted to go to you, my father
To look into your eyes
Whether they were just for me, as though it were a secret
To say unspeakable things

How I dreamed of finding you again
Discovering one of your secret looks
I would have travelled the Earth for the happinesѕ
Of taking your hand, of taking your hand, my father
My fаther
