Oh Dad,
What a misfortune! What a terrible misfortune for me
Oh Dad,
What a scandal if mom knew that
In Trinidad, in French Antilles over there
In Trinidad, lived a family
The Mama and the Dad and the big eldest son
Who is 40 years old, wasn’t married yet
One day he found the girl he wanted
And said to his father: "I want to marry her."
Alas, my boy, unfortunately you can’t
Because this girl is your sister and your mother doesn’t know
Oh Dad,
What a misfortune! What a terrible misfortune for me
Oh Dad,
What a scandal if mom knew that
In Trinidad, in French Antilles over there
In Trinidad, oh, what a family
Two years passed and one evening the boy
Came to his father and hopeful said,:
"The school teacher wants to marry me"
But the poor father felt overwhelmed:
My son you can’t
You can’t do that
Because this girl is your sister and your mother doesn’t know it!
Oh Dad,
What a misfortune! What a terrible misfortune for me
Oh Dad,
What a scandal if mom knew that
Losing patience,
He ran disgusted
Told his mother all the truth
The mother began laughing and said to him "don’t worry"
Your father isn’t your father
And your father doesn’t know it…
Oh Mama,
What a happiness! What a great happiness for me
Oh Mama,
What a scandal if Dad knew that…
