《Dance With My Father》 <<与父共舞>>
Back when I was a child 小时候
before life removed all the innocence 天真懵懂
My father would lift me high 父亲会把我高高举起
and dance with my mother and me 跟我和母亲翩翩起舞
and then 然后
Spin me around 'til I fell asleep 抱着我转圈 直到入睡
Then up the stairs he would carry me 父亲会把我抱上楼
And I knew for sure I was loved 我知道父亲深深的爱着我
If I could get another chance 如果还有一次机会
another walk, another dance with him 跟父亲散步与父亲跳舞
I'd play a song that would never, ever end 我会放一首永远不会结束的曲子
How I'd love, love, love 我是多么的想
To dance with my father again 再跟父亲跳一次舞
When I and my mother would disagree 当我不想听母亲的话的时候
To get my way, I would run from her to him 我就会跑到父亲跟前
He'd make me laugh just to comfort me 他会想办法让我笑起来
Then finally make me do just what my mama said 但是最后让我照母亲的话去做
Later that night when I was asleep 那一晚在我睡觉的时候
He left a dollar under my sheet 他在我的床单下放了一块钱
Never dreamed that he would be gone from me 从来没有想过父亲会离开我
If I could steal one final glance 如果我能再看父亲
one final step 再迈出一步舞步
one final dance with him 再跟父亲跳最后一支舞
I'd play a song that would never, ever end 我会放一首永远不会结束的曲子
Cause I'd love, love, love 因为我是多么想
To dance with my father again 再跟父亲跳最后一支舞
Sometimes I'd listen outside her door 有时候我会在母亲的门外
And I'd hear how my mother cried for him 听到她思念父亲的哭声
I pray for her even more than me 我为母亲祈祷......
I pray for her even more than me 我为母亲祈祷......
I know I'm praying for much too much 我知道我的要求有点过分
But could you send back 但是你能不能
the only man she loved 把她唯一身爱的男人送回来
I know you don't do it usually 我知道你一般不会这么做
But dear Lord she's dying 但是我的神啊
To dance with my father again 她是多么想再和父亲共舞啊
Every night I fall asleep 每晚入睡以后
and this is all I ever dream 同样的梦境重现
