dance with my father
Back when I was a child,
時光追溯回我的童年
before life removed all the innocence
天真懵懂
My father would lift me high
父親會把我高高舉起
and dance with my mother and me and then
跟我和母親一起翩翩起舞
Spin me around 'til I fell asleep
抱著我轉圈
Then up the stairs he would carry me
直到我入睡,父親會把我抱上樓
And I knew for sure I was loved
我知道父親深深愛著我
If I could get another chance,another walk, another dance with him
若我能有一次機會,再與我的父親散步,跳舞
I'd play a song that would never, ever end
我會放一首永遠不會結束的歌
How I'd love, love, love
我是多麼想
To dance with my father again
再跟父親跳一次舞
When I and my mother would disagree
當我何媽媽吵架的時候
To get my way, I would run from her to him
我會跑到父親跟前
He'd make me laugh just to comfort me
他會想辦法讓我笑,安慰我
Then finally make me do just what my mama said
但是最後告訴我要聽媽媽的話
Later that night when I was asleep
那晚,在我睡覺的時候
He left a dollar under my sheet
他在我的床單下放了一塊錢
Never dreamed that he would be gone from me
從來沒有想過父親會離開我
If I could steal one final glance, one final step, one final dance with him
如果我能再看父親一眼
I'd play a song that would never, ever end
我會放一首永遠不會結束的曲子。
Cause I'd love, love, love
因為我愛他
To dance with my father again
多麼想再和我父親跳一支舞啊
Sometimes I'd listen outside her door
有時我會在媽媽的門外
And I'd hear how my mother cried for him
聽到她思念爸爸的哭聲
I pray for her even more than me
我為媽媽祈禱
I pray for her even more than me
為她祈禱
I know I'm praying for much too much
我知道我的要求很過分
But could you send back the only man she loved
但你能不能,把她深愛的男人送回來?
I know you don’t do it usually
我知道你不會這樣做
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,這場景都會在夢中出現
