Father?
– Tata?
Son
– Yu
All my life, I’d have died to meet you
– Mi bida henter, lo mi a muri pa konosé bo
Thought about your name so much, it hurts
– Mi a pensa asina tantu riba bo nòmber ku ta doló.
For twenty years, I’ve dreamt of how I’d greet you
– Durante 20 aña, mi a soña ku kon mi lo a kumindá bo.
Oh, and now you’re here, I can’t find the words
– Oh, i awor bo ta aki, mi no por haña e palabranan
All my life, I’d have died to know you
– Mi bida henter, lo mi a muri pa konosé bo
Days and nights I wish that I could show you
– Dia i anochi mi ke por mustra bo
For twenty years, I never could outgrow you
– Durante 20 aña, nunka mi no por a surpasá bo.
Oh, and now you’re here
– Oh, i awor bo ta aki
I can’t help but wonder what your world must be
– Mi No por evitá di puntra mi mes kiko bo mundu mester ta
If we’re like each other, if I have your strength in me
– Si nos ta manera otro, si mi tin bo forsa den mi
All this time I’ve wondered if you’d embrace me as your own
– Tur e tempu aki mi a puntra mi mes si lo bo brasa mi manera bo.
Twenty years, I’ve wandered, for so long I’ve felt alone
– Vinte aña, mi a biahá, pa asina tantu tempu mi a sinti mi so
Oh, my son, look how much you’ve grown
– Oh, mi yu, wak kuantu bo a krese
Oh, my boy, sweetest joy I’ve known
– Oh, mucha, e alegria mas dushi ku mi a yega di konosé
Twenty years ago I held you in my arms
– 20 aña pasá mi a tene bo den mi brasa
How time has flown, oh
– Kon tempu a bula, oh
Used to say I’d make the storm clouds cry for you
– E tabata bisa ku e lo a hasi e nubia di tormenta yora pa bo
Used to say I’d capture wind and sky for you
– E tabata bisa ku e lo a kapta bientu i shelu pa bo
Held you in my arms, prepared to die for you
– Mi a tene bo den mi brasa, prepará pa muri pa bo
Oh, how time has flown
– Oh, kon tempu a bula
I can only wonder what your world has been
– Mi por puntra mi mes kiko tabata bo mundu
Things you’ve had to suffer, and the strength you hold within
– Kosnan ku bo a sufri, i e forsa ku bo tin paden
All I’ve ever wanted was to reunite with my own
– Tur loke mi semper a ke tabata pa mi reuní ku mi
Twenty years, we’ve wandered, but today you’re not alone
– Vinte aña, nos a bai, pero awe bo no ta bo so
My son, I’m finally home
– Mi yu, mi ta na kas.
Home, home
– Kas, kas
Father, how I’ve longed to see you
– Tata, kuantu mi tabata anhelá pa mira bo
Home, home
– Kas, kas
Telemachus, I’m home (Home)
– Telemaco, mi ta na kas (na kas)
Go, tell your mother I’m home
– Bai, bisa bo mama ku mi ta na kas.
I’ll be there in a moment
– Mi ta keda un ratu.
Of course
– Naturalmente
Show yourself
– Mustra bo mes
I know you’re watching me, show yourself
– Mi sa ku bo ta wak mi, mustra bo mes
You were never one for hellos
– Bo no tabata un pa saludo
I can’t help but wonder what this world could be
– Mi No por evitá di puntra mi mes kiko e mundu aki por ta
If we all held each other with a bit more empathy
– Si nos tur a brasa otro ku un tiki mas empatia
I can’t help but feel like I led you astray
– Mi No por evitá di sinti ku mi a hiba bo den mal kaminda
What if there’s a world where we don’t have to live this way?
– Kiko ta pasa si tin un mundu den kua nos no tin ku biba di e manera aki?
If that world exists, it’s far away from here
– Si e mundu ei ta eksistí, e ta leu for di aki.
It’s one I’ll have to miss, for it’s far beyond my years
– Esaki ta algu ku mi mester sinti falta di dje, pasobra e ta hopi mas leu ku mi añanan
You might live forever, so you can make it be
– Bo por biba pa semper, p’esei bo por hasié
But I’ve got one endeavor, there’s a girl I have to see
– Pero mi tin un esfuerso, tin un mucha muhé ku mi tin di haber kuné
Very well
– Bon bon
Father? She’s waiting for you
– Tata? E ta warda bo
