Chemotherapy

Dad waking up by my side
父親在我身邊醒來
Sleeping off the pain
他以睡覺來緩解疼痛
All the same, every day
每天過得都一樣
Thinning in the face
面容卻消瘦了
And I'm there, can't do much
在那裡，我什麼也做不了
But clutch on my guitar
除了撥弄我的吉他
'Play a song, my dear son'
“彈一曲兒吧，我親愛的孩子”
He says to me
他對我說

Wish I could go through the things that cause you pain
多希望是我來經歷那些讓你痛苦的一切
Wish I'd let go of worldly things that often change
祈盼我能放下世俗的東西
Wish I could go through the things that cause you pain
多希望你所承受的痛苦都能夠分擔給我
Wish I could go with you to chemo
我可以陪你一起去化療就好了

Dad staying up for too long
父親經常很晚才睡
Stronger by each day
一天比一天好起來
You should see it, he looks great
你應該看看，他看起來棒極了
His room is where I wait
我在他的房間等候
To be there, can't do much
在那裡，我不用做什麼
But brush on my guitar
只要彈奏我的吉他
'Play a song, my dear son'
“來首歌兒吧，我親愛的孩子”
He says to me
他對我說

Wish I could go through the things that cause you pain
多希望是我來經歷那些讓你痛苦的一切
Wish I 'd let go of worldly things that often change
祈盼我能放下世俗的東西
Wish I could go through the things that cause you pain
