[English]

Dear old dad, remember when

You would sing to me? We could do it again

Dear old dad, remember how

I would sit on your shoulders? Well, how 'bout it now?

Dear old dad, I was wondering why

As I get older now, the days keep going on by

Dear old dad, remember this tune

In this whole wide world there's no one like you

There's no one like you

My darling son, I remember when

I would sing to you, and I would do it again

Beloved child, remember this tune

In this world of gems, there's no one like you

You

You

You
