Is there anything more moving than this beautiful song on paternity bereavement?
Bravo and thank you, Mr. Mario Pelchat for candidly sharing with us your heartfelt words reported in Noovo Moi (https://bit.ly/3EN4WSf). Even if you “don’t spend your life crying”, Bambi did it on your behalf (and not just yours…). when she listened to your most recent song. She is so happy she just discovered it, although it was released seven months ago:
“I don’t have children, I’m turning 60 and I find it regrettable. Obviously, I don’t spend my life crying, but I’m sad not to have had this chance to leave offspring, to have a child who would say to me: “I love you daddy”».
« Je n’ai pas d’enfant, j’arrive à 60 ans et je trouve ça regrettable. Évidemment, je ne passe pas ma vie à pleurer, mais je suis triste de ne pas avoir eu cette chance de laisser une progéniture, d’avoir un enfant qui me dirait: “Je t’aime papa”. »
If you are interested in reading them, below you can find a quick English translation of the lyrics of Mr. Pelchat’s song. Bambi hopes you will enjoy the latter, and its lovely video production, as much as she did. To conclude this brief musical post, of course, she is grateful for the assistance of Mr. Google Translate. A usual, she thanks him for being her loyal friend :).
The child I don’t have
“It’s for you, the child I don’t have,
A few words that I write to you,
To tell you that deep down I don’t know
Who makes the choices in our lives.
It’s for you, the child I don’t have,
Without sadness and without regret,
A few notes in the heart and in the voice,
Which I wanted to share.
If I had been a father,
Would I have learned, would I have known how to do?
If I had been a father,
Since your first cry, would I have had the way?
But life doesn’t wait, dreams pass,
In the ledger of time so many questions fade away, ooh,
Wherever you are, maybe it’s better,
Like that…
It is for you the child that I do not have,
A few words and this desire
To finally come out from the bottom of me,
Everything I ever said no
I ran, ran without stopping,
Maybe I only thought of myself?
Today I wanted to talk to you about it,
You the child that I do not have.
If I had been a father,
Would I have learned, would I have known how to do?
If I had been a father,
Since your first cry, would I have had the way?
But life doesn’t wait, dreams pass,
In the ledger of time so many questions fade away, ooh,
Wherever you are, maybe it’s better,
Like that…
Would I have followed the paths of your life?
Would I have done anything to love you?
If I had been a father,
Would I have learned, would I have known how to do?
If I had been a father,
Since your first cry, would I have had the way?
But life doesn’t wait, dreams pass,
In the ledger of time so many questions fade away, ooh,
Wherever you are, maybe it’s better,
Like that…“
