Daddy - Diam's

Si seulement t'étais là papa

Si seulement je ne t’en voulais pas papa

J’serai comment si t'étais là papa?

J’sais pas, il y a des questions auxquelles on ne répond pas

Si seulement t'étais là papa

Si seulement je ne t’en voulais pas papa

J’serai comment si t'étais là papa?

J’sais pas, il y a des questions auxquelles on ne répond pas

On est le 7 juin et j’me décide à t'écrire

Ça va faire 22 ans, on va dire que j’ai grandi

J’ai tellement de chose à te dire

Mais je ne sais pas si c’est le pire ou le meilleur que j’aimerai te faire

parvenir

Au fait c’est ta fille, tu sais: Mélanie

Que t’as laissé en France il y a 18 ans quand tu es parti

Je me demande où tu es et ce que tu es devenu

Je t’ai attendu si longtemps mais tu n’es jamais revenu

Pourquoi?

Déjà ça je ne sais pas…

Parfois il y a des questions auxquelles on ne répond pas

Papa, pourquoi ce surnom sonne faux?

Pourquoi t'étais pas là et pourquoi le téléphone sonne peu?

Tu te souviens de moi?

Petite métisse à la peau d’or

Tu sais maintenant j’suis blanche car en France le soleil dort

Parce que j’ai mal c’est vrai, va pas croire que j’ai été mal sevrée

Au contraire, mais je crois qu’il n’y à pas de secret

Si seulement t'étais là papa

Si seulement je ne t’en voulais pas papa

J’serai comment si t'étais là papa?

J’sais pas, il y a des questions auxquelles on ne répond pas

Si seulement t'étais là papa

Si seulement je ne t’en voulais pas papa

J’serai comment si t'étais là papa?

J’sais pas, il y a des questions auxquelles on ne répond pas

T'étais où pour mes dents de lait?

Sur cette grande lettre, il y a des «t'étais où ?»

car t'étais loin papa

T’as pas vu grandir ta fille, t’as pas sur lui dire je t’aime

Et quand t’es parti, t’as pas voulu que l’on te retienne

Alors moi je fais comme si t’existais pas…

Car tu fais partie de ces gens qui souvent n’insistent pas

Il y a toujours un vide dans nos vies, toi t’es un bide dans la mienne

Et dans mes lignes, t’es loin d'être un mythe

J’avais besoin de ton soutien et je t’ai appelé

Tu t’en souviens?

non.

Moi oui, car t’as jamais rappelé

Quand il n’y a pas de père, il manque quelqu’un et y’a pas de paix

Parce que tu n’y comprend rien et que tu dois faire avec trois petits points

J’sais qu’il y a des gens qui vivent la même chose que moi

J’sais qu’il y en a qui savent ce que sait que de vivre dans le noir

J'étais toi, j'étais elle et j'étais moi

Et à moi seule bah j'étais nous trois

Si seulement t'étais là papa

Si seulement je ne t’en voulais pas papa

J’serai comment si t'étais là papa?

J’sais pas, il y a des questions auxquelles on ne répond pas

Si seulement t'étais là papa

Si seulement je ne t’en voulais pas papa

J’serai comment si t'étais là papa?

J’sais pas, il y a des questions auxquelles on ne répond pas

T’as fait de moi une fille sans père

Aigrie d’avoir vécu dans un couple en guerre

Dieu merci Maman m’a élevée

Et même si j'étais dure, ben maman m’a aidée

J’ai manqué de ton amour, ça m’a valu de me tromper ailleurs

Je pensais trouver en l’homme ce que je n’avais pas de mon géniteur

Mais ma vie serait pas la même

Si toi papa t’avais été là

Si seulement t'étais là papa

Si seulement je ne t’en voulais pas papa

J’serai comment si t'étais là papa?

J’sais pas, il y a des questions auxquelles on ne répond pas

Si seulement t'étais là papa

Si seulement je ne t’en voulais pas papa

J’serai comment si t'étais là papa?

J’sais pas, il y a des questions auxquelles on ne répond pas

If only you were here daddy

If only I didn't blame you daddy

How would I be if you were there dad?

I don't know, there are questions that are not answered

If only you were here daddy

If only I didn't blame you daddy

How would I be if you were there dad?

I don't know, there are questions that are not answered

It's June 7th and I've decided to write to you

It's been 22 years, let's say I grew up

I have so much to tell you

But I don't know if it's the worst or the best that I'd like to do to you

reach

By the way it's your daughter, you know: Melanie

What you left in France 18 years ago when you left

I wonder where you are and what you've become

I waited for you so long but you never came back

Why?

Already that I don't know...

Sometimes there are questions that are not answered

Dad, why does this nickname sound wrong?

Why weren't you there and why the phone doesn't ring much?

You remember me?

Little golden-skinned half-breed

You know now I'm white because in France the sun sleeps

'Cause I hurt it's true, don't think I was badly weaned

On the contrary, but I believe there is no secret

If only you were here daddy

If only I didn't blame you daddy

How would I be if you were there dad?

I don't know, there are questions that are not answered

If only you were here daddy

If only I didn't blame you daddy

How would I be if you were there dad?

I don't know, there are questions that are not answered

Where have you been for my baby teeth?

On this big letter, there are "where were you?"

because you were far away dad

You didn't see your daughter grow up, you're not sure to tell her I love you

And when you left, you didn't want to be held

So I pretend like you don't exist...

'Cause you're one of those people who often don't insist

There's always a void in our lives, you're a belly in mine

And in my lines, you're far from a myth

I needed your support and I called you

You remember it?

nope.

Me yes, because you never called back

When there is no father, someone is missing and there is no peace

'Cause you don't get it and you have to do with three little dots

I know there are people who are going through the same thing as me

I know there are those who know what it's like to live in the dark

I was you, I was her and I was me

And to me alone well I was the three of us

If only you were here daddy

If only I didn't blame you daddy

How would I be if you were there dad?

I don't know, there are questions that are not answered

If only you were here daddy

If only I didn't blame you daddy

How would I be if you were there dad?

I don't know, there are questions that are not answered

You made me a daughter without a father

Embittered to have lived in a couple at war

Thank God Mom raised me

And even if I was tough, well mom helped me

I missed your love, got me wrong somewhere else

I thought I would find in man what I didn't have in my parent

But my life wouldn't be the same

If you daddy had been there

If only you were here daddy

If only I didn't blame you daddy

How would I be if you were there dad?

I don't know, there are questions that are not answered

If only you were here daddy

If only I didn't blame you daddy

How would I be if you were there dad?

I don't know, there are questions that are not answered

If only you were here daddy

If only I didn't blame you daddy

How would I be if you were there dad?

I don't know, there are questions that are not answered

If only you were here daddy

If only I didn't blame you daddy

How would I be if you were there dad?

I don't know, there are questions that are not answered

If only you were here daddy

If only I didn't blame you daddy

How would I be if you were there dad?

I don't know, there are questions that are not answered

If only you were here daddy

If only I didn't blame you daddy

How would I be if you were there dad?

I don't know, there are questions that are not answered

If only you were here daddy

If only I didn't blame you daddy

How would I be if you were there dad?

I don't know, there are questions that are not answered

If only you were here daddy

If only I didn't blame you daddy

How would I be if you were there dad?

I don't know, there are questions that are not answered
