Where were you before? When your father was needed You only changed your shirt before And you left again I'm so sorry I'm so sorry I'm so sorry I'm so sorry I'm so sorry I'm so sorry I'm so sorry I'm so sorry I'm so sorry I'm so sorry I'm so sorry Now you're singing And you're begging And you're asking For people's pity Before you were Going around in groups At night Why didn't you take care Of the children then? You paid For someone else And you only Gave us ribbons And you only gave The children were On the street then I only got The silence With my tongue Where were you Before? When your father Was needed You only changed your shirt Before And you left Again Again You only cared About your work And sometimes You were in a hurry Now you only Cared about your children Before You were forbidden To take care of them Now you should Be a martyr And give People's understanding That you would have Suffered wrong You still Couldn't be a father Where were you Before? When your father Was needed You only changed your shirt Before And you left Again Again
