Translation
Dear dad
You seemed so tall to me, when I was little
You were my good giant who played hide and seek.
My heart was racing while I was staying waiting for you
Happy to hide, but to make me find too.
I felt you were strong and sometimes you scared me
But you were my docile horse and the carpet was the plain
I was used to come down and walk in your heavy shoes
Between hills of couches with my giant's passes
It was sweet, it was very sweet,
I remember it and I tell you
You were my biggest hero
You were my first real friend.
But you shrunk down in the first years of school
You came back always later and mum always left alone
I woke up suddenly and I still heard shouting
You were more and more nervous and you didn't stay and listen to me.
Other times you beated me and your hard words
Opened wide only a life in fear.
You were absent and unreachable
I hated you and I tell you
You were the boogieman in my dreams
You suddenly became my worst enemy
And I carried like a mourn your blood in my veins,
But my heart, for spite, was still loving you
And now dad I write it to you, like when I was a child
Like when we were used to play hide and seek.
Now it's cold, in fact it's very cold
I cry meanwile i tell it to you:
"What you're waiting for to arrive,
Dad if you are a friend of mine?"
It was sweet, it was very sweet
I understood it and I write it to you:
"How many times shall I die
To feel I'm still alive?"
