My old and dear father, My inspiration of life, The bed you've laying on for me is an altar like. My dues with you are all my Own life's treasures and gifts, And I feel cold and sad Now that your spirit lifts. Stroke me again, Don't leave us alone, I feel safe as once no more. You renounced too much time To my help in the fields, To let me cultivate My talent in swords and shields I always paid honour To the efforts you made to me So you are my pattern In supporting the family Stroke me again, Don't leave us alone, I feel safe as once no more. As a shining star in the night You have led me in my sky, And my path is not as bright As when you were on my side. I wouldn't never let you go... My personal hero My old and dear father, My inspiration of life, The bed you've laying on for me is an altar like. I'll try to lead my life As a mighty sword in the sky Then rejoin you in heaven So towards God we will fly
