Once, you became accustomed that I'm not there
That I go somewhere for a day or two
When I come back home tired from a trip
You say to me 'you haven been here for ages'
My son, my son
Ref.
Bitter is the crust of the bread
That feeds you in the pub
Hard is this life
That I'm living to survive
Bitter is every step
That I cross over the threshold
Your eyes shine in the night
While I'm comming home to you, my son
I sing even when I feel like crying
You're used to it, I'm not like all the others
And when you need me, exactly then I'm not there
But when Saturday going on Sunday arrives
Everyone is with their father, but I'm not there
My son, my son
Ref.
