Thanks I'm kind of new with this, so there's no workaround? once you lose your paper wallet's private key you lost if forever?

The seed is for a heirarchical deterministic wallet. It is used to generate multiple keys. Paper wallets are just one key, thus there is no seed. If you want some sort of "seed" for a private key, then you need to use a brainwallet. However, I highly recommend against this since brainwallets are insecure, especially when the user has to think of the word to use as the seed.

Is there something like that?

I found a few repos where you can run the web generator client-side but they don't give you a seed to rebuild your wallet like electrum does
