Dad
I have so many questions
Burning inside me
If you could only answer the phone
When I call you at home
But you
You never have time
You promise that you will
One of these days*
You
Have your new life
And your new kids
Dad, hey
I miss you
Do you long
To come home to me
Dad
What are you doing now
Are you coming home
When it's Christmas
Dad
You guys said it was for the best
It was for the children's sake
And you would always be there
But you
You are never here
When mom drinks wine
And scolds me
And when
She screams and swears
And cries the whole night
Dad, hey
I miss you
Do you long
To come home to me
Dad
What are you doing now
Are you coming home
When it's Christmas
Dad
Oh
But you
We can take your car
And run away, you and me
One day*
And we
Can become your new life
And I, your new child
One day*
And you can be
A new dad
That stays [with me]

* I translated this mostly literally except for the phrase "en vacker dag". It literally means "a beautiful day", but it can mean "an unknown day in the future" in this song. Daniel Gildenlöw posted a more deep translation of this song

Hello, come to think of it, everything here is mostly literal (except for the phrase "en vacker dag") I used his deep translation mostly as a reference when translating this
I actually didn't know that. When I first saw "en vacker dag", I thought it literally meant "a beautiful day" (I think other some other Swedish learners think that too). That's why I explained it.
