Thy told me the worst things about you
they never said anything about themselves
they told me what they wanted to say
I believed them, they were older
they told me you were everywhere
they told me you drank a lot
they told me what the knew
I believed them because I was young
Forgive me, father
all those harsh words
my life now
is like yours
Forgive me, father
Now I understand you
I'm looking at your photo
and I see myself
They told me you were kissing many woman
that you lost a lot of money on cards
they told me what they knew
I believed them because I was young
They told me you cursed God
they told me more than that
They told me what they knew
I believed them because I was young
Forgive me, father
all those harsh words
my life now
is like yours
Forgive me, father
for listening to the others
I'm the same, father
because I know how's life (lit. because I tried life)
