On muddy roads, you lift me up.
Your shoulders, my seat.
When it’s freezing cold, you keep me close against your breast.
When there’s wind and rain, you keep me safe.
You protect our family.
You have always given me best.
Yet you don’t speak a word.
You have never asked me to repay.
You always give us your all.
All the years, made your hair grow lighter.
They have taken their toll.
Every memory etches your cheek.
Now we’ve all flown far away.
Yet you’re still waiting here in silence.
I will never forget you standing all alone.
Oh, father, dear father!
You have given me so much of your life.
Yet I did not cherish all you gave.
Oh father, dear father!
I implore you, do not leave me.
Wanna be by your side always.
Oh father, dear father!
I implore you, do not leave me.
Be by my side forever more.
