[Intro]
These lines are for you, my son
Go that way, so it works out for you someday
Yes, your father is a hothead and sometimes strict
But all of this should show you that it was difficult

[Verse 1]
Not a cent of pocket money, nothing was given for free
Had to work, just to keep the light on at home
No luck like the kids from the area
Wore the jeans torn out, but was none of them who thought it was art
At home a mom crying
Yes, the bread at home was not enough for all of us
Many wrong friends, wrong ways
Things I know, but all of that makes it possible to protect you
My heart grew bitter and hard
Yes, I was missing a half until I met her afterwards
Your mother gave me a new life - twice
Your eyes are the reason why I am able to fall asleep

[Chorus in Russian]
Dada, he only lives for you, dada
I don't need anything without you
I’ll never forget mom
You only lived for me, Dada
Dada, he only lives for you, dada
I don't need anything without you
I'll never forget mom
You only lived for me, Dada

[Bridge]
You see the light of the world
It changes me, the money has no value anymore
I endure all the work just for my son
I was not used to what I want to offer you

[Verse 2]
I don’t want you to suffer for a few cents
That you have to flee from what you call home
The time will come when you will say: "Life is so difficult, Dada"
That is why I gave you the name “The sword of Allah”
I carry your name on my skin
The darkness makes all the colors here way too gray
You are the light that illuminates the darkness
What you can see it at the end of a long tunnel
Even if my crisis disappoints you
I'll stay by your side when the beat stops
For my son, whom I can tell later
Papa did it all just for you

[Chorus in Russian]
Dada, he only lives for you, dada
I don't need anything without you
I'll never forget mom
You only lived for me, Dada
Dada, he only lives for you, dada
I don't need anything without you
I'll never forget mom
You only lived for me, Dada
