[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
