Daddy
Oh oh, daddy, forgive me
You must forgive me
Daddy, you must forgive me
Where oh where oh, oh oh
Forgive me
For me
They beat daddy
Because of me
They insulted, persecuted him
Because of me, they insulted him
Daddy, you must forgive me
Where oh where oh, oh oh
Daddy aaa
Forgive me
Daddy, because of me
You were beaten
The gossipers
Had a field day
Because of me
Daddy was slandered
Because of his love, for me
He was insulted aaa
Daddy, forgive me
Where oh where oh, oh oh
Forgive me
You must forgive me
Where oh where oh, oh oh
Daddy aaa
Forgive me
(Reading) our daughter awa, and I
Both of us, ask for your forgiveness
It's on the day of your death that I realized
That you mattered to me
For the love of God, may you forgive us
It's the will of the Almighty, nothing can oppose it
May he have mercy on us, may your body rest in peace
Music...
It's like a wife
These powerful men, wanted you
You replied, that I was
Your only love
Like those from America
You replied
Where oh where oh, oh oh
That you were only mine
Even the French, desired you
There was ai ai
Only for me aaa
The Americans came
To marry daddy
And it was always me
That she loved ai ai ai
Daddy, from our love, you were faithful
Awa's mother, was faithful to me
Where oh where oh, oh oh
Oh daddy aaa
You were honest
If I had been, just as honest
As you were
Nothing would have succeeded
In separating us eee
Daddy, you must forgive me
Where oh where oh, oh oh
Daddy aaa
Forgive me aaaaa
Oh oh... (chorus)
