Papaoutai
Dad Where Are You
"Ah sacré papa
Dis-moi où es-tu caché?
Ça doit, faire au moins mille fois que j'ai
Compté mes doigts"
"Oh my dear dad
Tell me, where are you hiding?
It mustt be at least a thousand times that I have
Counted my fingers"
Performed by: Stromae

The music video shows a little boy dancing in front of his father, played by Stromae, who sits lifeless like a mannequin, smiling. His father was barely present in his life and was later killed in the 1994 Rwandan genocide.
