Dance With My Father

Back when I was a child,
时光追溯回我的童年
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 and then
跟我和母亲一起翩翩起舞
Spin me around ‘til I fell asleep
抱着我转圈
Then up the stairs he would carry me
直到我入睡，父亲会把我抱上楼
And I knew for sure I was loved
我知道父亲深深爱着我
If I could get another chance,another walk, another dance with him
若我能有一次机会，再与我的父亲散步，跳舞
I’d play a song that would never, ever end
我会放一首永远不会结束的歌
How I’d love, love, love
我是多么想
To dance with my father again
再跟父亲跳一次舞
When I and my mother would disagree
当我何妈妈吵架的时候
To get my way, I would run from her to him
我会跑到父亲跟前
He’d make me laugh just to comfort me
他会想办法让我笑，安慰我
Then finally make me do just what my mama said
但是最后告诉我要听妈妈的话
Later that night when I was asleep
那晚，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, one final step, one final dance with him
如果我能再看父亲一眼
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
因为我爱他
To dance with my father again
多么想再和我父亲跳一支舞啊
Sometimes I’d listen outside her door
有时我会在妈妈的门外
And I’d hear how my mother cried for him
听到她思念爸爸的哭声
I pray for her even more than me
我为妈妈祈祷
I pray for her even more than me
为她祈祷
I know I’m praying for much too much
我知道我的要求很过分
But could you send back the only man she loved
但你能不能，把她深爱的男人送回来？
I know you don’t do it usually
我知道你不会这样做
But dear Lord she’s dying
但我的主啊
To dance with my father again
她是多想和我爸爸再跳一支舞
Every night I fall asleep and this is all I ever dream
每晚入睡，这场景都会在夢中出现
