Daddy

    Artist: PSY

    How did you live like that?

    Father, now I finally realize

    He’s only been looking forward in his life

    Now that the kids have already grown they won’t even listen to him

    All his life he sacrificed his best days for his wife and the kids

    Trying to make just a bit more money, looking at the kids’ photo

    Swallowing tears, risking his life, he gets back up even when he’s exhausted

    What if I pass out?

    “Kids, don’t worry, your father’s a Superman”

    Can’t do anything when pressed down from above

    Can’t avoid when struck from below

    Scary, this world, want to run away

    I still endure

    I still live on for the oblivious, happy kids snuggling in my arms everyday

    Tired but will still go to work

    “Honey, kids, your daddy’s going to work”

    (Chorus)

    Father, now I finally realize

    How did you live like that?

    Don’t be lonely anymore

    From now on we’ll go together

    (Verse 2)

    There’s only one thing I want from the kids who are already going to schools

    Be an honest, healthy, nice kid

    An upright person

    I’ll be a better father than others

    Outside of schools, gotta send them to academies, get them private tutors to compete with other fathers, gotta do everything for them

    Which means I need to make more money

    “You guys, be good to your father”

    Kids make friends, talk about stuffs, see things, listen to people, compare with other fathers who do more for the kids

    Compare me to other fathers who buy them nicer things

    I go, for the kids who only get more spoiled and my wife who only asks for more

    “Honey, kids, your daddy’s going to work”
