(Verse 1)
Papa Joanish Rethu, why you leave me behind?
I was just a little boy, with a heart so blind
You went away, and I was left to cry
Wondering why, papa, you said goodbye
(Chorus)
Oh, papa, papa, why you leave me?
I'm just a little boy, with tears to see
I need you here, papa, to guide me
But you're gone, and I'm left to be
(Verse 2)
Memories of you, they still remain
But your absence, it brings me so much pain
I wish you were here, papa, to hold my hand
But you're not, and I'm left to understand
(Chorus)
Oh, papa, papa, why you leave me?
I'm just a little boy, with tears to see
I need you here, papa, to guide me
But you're gone, and I'm left to be
(Bridge)
Time goes by, but the pain remains
I'm growing up, but the scars still stay
I'll hold on to memories of you
And hope that someday, I'll see you again, papa, it's true
(Chorus)
Oh, papa, papa, why you leave me?
I'm just a little boy, with tears to see
I need you here, papa, to guide me
But you're gone, and I'm left to be
(Outro)
Papa Joanish Rethu, I'll never forget
The love we shared, the memories we've met
Though you're gone, your memory stays
And in my heart, I'll always pray.
