PAPAOUTAI – Stromae
Verse 1
Tell me where he comes from
Then I will know where I’m going
Mommy says if you search hard enough
You always end up finding it
She says he is never too far away
That he often goes to work
Mommy says working is good
Better than being in bad company, right
Pre-Chorus
Where is your papa?
Tell me, where is your papa?
Chorus
Eh, papa, where are you?
Eh, papa, where are you?
Eh, papa, where are you?
Where are you, where are you, where are you?
Papa, where are you?
Eh, papa, where are you?
Eh, papa, where are you?
Eh, papa, where are you?
Where are you, where are you, where are you?
Verse 2
Even without speaking to him
He knows that it’s not going well
Eh, unique papa
Tell me, where are you hiding?
I must have counted on my fingers
At least a thousand times
Chorus
Eh, papa, where are you?
Eh, papa, where are you?
Eh, papa, where are you?
Where are you, where are you, where are you?
Verse 3
Whether you believe it or not
One day will come when we stop believing
One day or another we will all become papas
And one day or another we will disappear
Will we be detestable?
Will we be admirable?
Progenitors or geniuses
Tell us who gives birth to irresponsibles
Everybody knows how to make babies
But nobody knows how to make papas
Verse 4
Mister “know-it-all” would have inherited it, that’s it
Does it come from sucking our thumbs or what?
Tell us where it is hidden
We must have eaten our fingers
At least a thousand times
Chorus
Eh, papa, where are you?
Eh, papa, where are you?
Eh, papa, where are you?
Where are you, where are you, where are you?
Papa, where are you?
Eh, papa, where are you?
Eh, papa, where are you?
Eh, papa, where are you?
Where are you, where are you, where are you?
Bridge
Where is your papa?
Tell me, where is your papa?
Even without speaking to him
He knows that it’s not going well
Eh, unique papa
Tell me, where are you hiding?
Chorus (Final)
Eh, papa, where are you?
Eh, papa, where are you?
Eh, papa, where are you?
Where are you, where are you, where are you?
