Papaoutai - Stromae
Papaoutai (also known as Papa ou t'es?) is a song by Belgian singer-songwriter Stromae. It was released as the lead single from his second studio album Racine carrée (2013). The song peaked at number one in Belgium, France, and Switzerland.
The song is written from the perspective of a child asking his absent father where he is. The title is a play on the French phrase "Papa où t'es?", which translates to "Dad, where are you?". The lyrics are a metaphor for the alienation and loneliness felt by those growing up without a father figure.
