Lyrics
Father?
– Patre?
Son
– Filium
All my life, I’d have died to meet you
– Tutto deve avere una misura, anche la vita
Thought about your name so much, it hurts
– Nomen tuum tantum cogitatur, dolet
For twenty years, I’ve dreamt of how I’d greet you
– Viginti annos somniavi quomodo te salutem
Oh, and now you’re here, I can’t find the words
– O, et nunc hic es, verba invenire non possum
All my life, I’d have died to know you
– Tutto diventa vecchio, forse anch ‘ io
Days and nights I wish that I could show you
– I giorni e le notti spero te facile inventurum esse
For twenty years, I never could outgrow you
– Viginti annis numquam te crescere potui
Oh, and now you’re here
– O, et nunc hic es
I can’t help but wonder what your world must be
– Non possum non miror quid sit mundus tuus
If we’re like each other, if I have your strength in me
– Si autem uniuntur in una anima, si habet ens in sua ente
All this time I’ve wondered if you’d embrace me as your own
– Si quis mihi ministraverit, si quid ei proderit
Twenty years, I’ve wandered, for so long I’ve felt alone
– Viginti annos erravi, nam quamdiu solus sensi
Oh, my son, look how much you’ve grown
– Videte quanta fecerit
Oh, my boy, sweetest joy I’ve known
– O puer meus, dulcissimum gaudium ego notum
Twenty years ago I held you in my arms
– Viginti abhinc annis te in armis tenui
How time has flown, oh
– Quas tempora fugit, o
Used to say I’d make the storm clouds cry for you
– Solebat dicere ego vellem facere tempestas nubibus clamor pro vobis
Used to say I’d capture wind and sky for you
– Solebat dicere vellem capere ventum et caelum tibi
Held you in my arms, prepared to die for you
– Et tenuit in armis meis, paratus mori tibi
Oh, how time has flown
– Cum tempore est voluptas
I can only wonder what your world has been
– Tantum miror quid mundus tuus fuerit
Things you’ve had to suffer, and the strength you hold within
– Quae pati debebas, et vires quas intus tenes
All I’ve ever wanted was to reunite with my own
– Ego semper voluit ad reunire cum omnibus meis
Twenty years, we’ve wandered, but today you’re not alone
– Viginti annos erravimus, sed hodie solus non es
My son, I’m finally home
– Filium meum, ego tandem in domum suam
Home, home
– Domum, domum
Father, how I’ve longed to see you
– Pater, quam desidero te videre
Home, home
– Domum, domum
Telemachus, I’m home (Home)
– Telemachus, im ‘ domum (Domum)
Go, tell your mother I’m home
– Ite, dic matri tuae meae domum
I’ll be there in a moment
– Sint qui tempore
Of course
– Scilicet
Show yourself
– Ostende te ipsum
I know you’re watching me, show yourself
– Scio te me spectare, ostende te ipsum
You were never one for hellos
– Nunquam enim salvum anadrol
I can’t help but wonder what this world could be
– Non possum adiuvare sed miror quid hic mundus esse possit
If we all held each other with a bit more empathy
– Si nos omnes tenuit invicem cum aliquantulus magis compassio veraque
I can’t help but feel like I led you astray
– Non possum quin te errem
What if there’s a world where we don’t have to live this way?
– Quid si illic ‘ a mundo, ubi non habemus hoc modo vivere?
If that world exists, it’s far away from here
– A foro longe esse, id est longe esse
It’s one I’ll have to miss, for it’s far beyond my years
– Suus ‘unus ego youll’ have ut deesset, quia suus ‘ longe ultra annos meos
You might live forever, so you can make it be
– Quia non pro-icit ad meritum ” itae aeternae.
But I’ve got one endeavor, there’s a girl I have to see
– Sed ego got unus conatus, illic ‘ a puella ego have ut videre
Very well
– Ipsum bene
Father? She’s waiting for you
– Patre? Te exspectat
