[Verse 1]
Papa mi lukim yu go,
Your shadow fades in the glow,
Long graun yu stap long bipo,
Now you’ve left us below.
Mi harim bel blong mi bruk,
The wind whispers where you once stood.
[Chorus]
Goodbye, Papa, goodbye,
Mi save yu stap long skai.
Yu stap na lukim mi,
From the heavens so free.
Goodbye, Papa, goodbye.
[Verse 2]
Yu wok long graun wantaim strong,
Your hands made right what was wrong.
Yu stap olsem ston bilong haus,
Now silence fills the old house.
Papa, yu stap insait long tingting,
In every sunrise, your voice sings.
[Prechorus]
Mi save, bai mitupela bung,
When this journey is done.
[Chorus]
Goodbye, Papa, goodbye,
Mi save yu stap long skai.
Yu stap na lukim mi,
From the heavens so free.
Goodbye, Papa, goodbye.
[Bridge]
Mi lukim yu long mausgras blo san,
In the fields where our dreams began.
Papa, yu stap long ples bilong lait,
Guiding us through the dark night.
