[English Translation]

[Verse 1: Psy]

Father, you only looked forward as you lived

At some point, the children have

Grown up and won’t listen

He gave up his youth to fill up the rice bowls of his children

As he looks at the photo of his children

He tries to make one more dollar!

Father swallows his tears, risks his life

Brushes it off though it’s hard and gets up

At this rate, what if he faints?

“I’m Superman kids, don’t worry”

Father can’t say anything even

If his superiors press down on him

Father can’t avoid it even when

His juniors try to usurp him

The world is scary, he wants to run away

Damn, but he holds it in every single day

“I live because of these kids, oblivious to everything

Playing and kicking and rolling around in my arms.”

“Though it’s hard, I’m leaving. Hey honey

Hey kids, your father is leaving for work”

[Chorus: Lee Seung Gi]

Father, now I finally realize

How did you live like that?

Please don’t be lonely any longer

Now let’s go together!

[Verse 2: Psy]

To his children who became students now he says

“There’s only one thing I want from you guys”

Please become rightful and healthy and kind and polite

I’ll try to be better than the other fathers so

Whether it’s after school academies or private tutoring

I’ll compete with the other fathers and win!

So I can do everything for you

I need to make a lot of money so be good to your father”

The kids make many friends and share many stories

They see and hear about their friend’s fathers

Who do more for them and compare

They compare other fathers

Who buy their kids more things

They become more and more

Ill-mannered as time passes

And the naggings increase and

Though it’s lonely, he leaves

“Hey honey, hey kids

Your father is leaving for work”

[Chorus: Lee Seung Gi]

Father, now I finally realize

How did you live like that?

Please don’t be lonely any longer

Now let’s go together!

[Verse 3: Psy]

“Honey, much time has passed

Our first is a working man

And our second is in college

Now I want our family to be together but

Because I’m the father

It’s difficult to start a conversation

My tears welled up from the difficult world

The kids look so busy

I need to take a walk, honey

Please come with me”

[Chorus: Lee Seung Gi]

Father, now I finally realize

How did you live like that?

Please don’t be lonely any longer

Now let’s go together!

From now on, I’ll follow you!
