mere papa o mere papa
mere papa kabhi na, na kahna
main kuch bhi kahu tum ha kahna
wo baat kabhi tu na kahna
mushkil ho jaye ha kahna
o mere papa kabhi na, na kahna
main kuch bhi kahu tum ha kahna
wo baat kabhi tu na kahna
mushkil ho jaye ha kahna
mere papa o mere papa

kya, kab kyu puchha karte ho
main kho jaungi darte ho
tu meri duniya sari hai
tu mujhko jaan se pyari hai
bas mere saamne tu rahna
o mere papa o mere papa

har baat pe tu zida karti hai
tere aage kiski chalti hai
tumhe yaad meri phir aayegi
jis din ek din ud ud jayegi
tere pinjre se teri maina ha
ye aaj kaha, phir mat kahna
o papa
o mere papa o mere papa

papa main tumse ruth gayi
bas apni dosti tut gayi
tu mujhse khafa kyu hoti hai
tu meri aankh ki jyoti hai
tu mere dil ka hai chaina
o mere papa o mere papa

papa tum koi dua maango
tum apne rab se kya maango
har raat ko sone se pahle
har subah hone se pahle
teri surat dekhe ye naina
o mere papa o mere papa
mere papa kabhi na, na kahna
main kuch bhi kahu tum ha kahna
wo baat kabhi tu na kahna
mushkil ho jaye ha kahna
o mere papa o mere papa

My Papa, oh my Papa,
My Papa, never say no, no.
Whatever I ask, you say yes, yes.
That one thing, never say no.
Even if yes is hard, still say yes.
Oh my Papa, never say no, no.
Whatever I ask, you say yes, yes.
That one thing, never say no.
Even if yes is hard, still say yes.
My Papa, oh my Papa.

Why, when, and how you question,
Fearing I'll be lost, you mention.
You are my whole world, you see,
You are precious, dear to me.
Just stay before me, always near,
Oh my Papa, oh my Papa.

At every point, you insist so,
Who can win, where you go?
You’ll miss me then, it will come,
The day I fly, freedom’s hum.
From your cage, your mynah takes flight,
Say this today, forget it, alright?
Oh Papa...
Oh my Papa, oh my Papa.

Papa, I am angry with you now,
Our friendship, broken, I avow.
Why are you upset with me?
You are the light my eyes can see.
You are the calm within my soul,
Oh my Papa, oh my Papa.

Papa, make a prayer anew,
What do you ask your God to do?
Each night before you find your sleep,
Each dawn before the sun does peep,
To see your face, my eyes entreat,
Oh my Papa, oh my Papa.
My Papa, never say no, no.
Whatever I ask, you say yes, yes.
That one thing, never say no.
Even if yes is hard, still say yes.
Oh my Papa, oh my Papa.
