My father, my home, it all slips away,
My father, my home, it fades from day.
My father, my home, it vanishes now,
My father, my home, beneath a furrowed brow.
Alas, my home, it slips away.

My father, my home, it all slips away,
My father, my home, it fades from day.
My father, my father, my home departs,
My father, oh yes, my home departs.

My father, my home, it all slips away.
Four pallbearers lift the palanquin's sway,
As kin and stranger all drift away.
Four pallbearers lift the palanquin's sway,
As kin and stranger all drift away.
My father, my home, it all slips away.
