Oprosti mi, pape [English translation]

They've told me the worst things about you

They never spoke of themselves

They've told me whatever they wanted

and I believed them, for they were older

They've told me that you were everywhere

They've told me you drank alot

They've told me everything they knew

and I believed them for they were older

Forgive me father

the many harsh words

my life today

resembles yours

Forgive me father

now I understand you

As I watch your picture

I recognise myself

They've told me you loved the ladies

that you lost money playing cards

They've told me what they knew

and I believed them for I was very young

They've told me that you cursed God

THey've told me so very much more

They've told me what they knew

and I believed them for I was very young

Forgive me father

the many harsh words

my life today

much resembles yours

Forgive me father

that I've listened to others

I am the same now father

because I've tasted life...
