A Face Like Mine

I never knew my father
我從沒見過我父親
He left when I was young

They say he was a proud man
他們說他是個傲氣的人
As good as they come
不亞於任何一個人
He left like all the others
他和其他人一樣離開家鄉
When no work could be found
當這裡沒有活計時
He smiled and told my mother
他笑著告訴我母親
I won't let you down
等我，我不會讓你失望
The autumn turned to winter
秋去冬來，天寒地凍
And the light left her eyes
她眼裡的光凝成了霜
No footsteps on the front porch
門前走廊始終寂靜
No word of him arrived
沒有歸人的腳步和言語
A promise torn to pieces
諾言被撕成碎片
And tossed to the ground
丟在泥濘中
Though at night she grieved him
儘管她會在深夜獨自飲泣
She never made a sound
她從來不發一言
I know he had a reason
我明白他一定另有隱情
I know a man can get lost
我知道一個男人也會迷失
Whatever he believed in
不管他有什麼信仰
I know he suffered the cost
我知道他會背負代價
His picture's almost faded
他的痕跡幾乎消失殆盡
But I filled in the lines
但我寫下這些句子
And nothing's unforgiven
因為沒有什麼不能被原諒
So father don't you cry
所以父親你會後悔嗎
Now the years have found me
現如今歲月輪迴
With a child of my own
我也有了自己的孩子
Another generation
下一代
That must carry the load
我不得不承擔男人的責任
But somewhere there's a memory
但在某處有一段記憶
In the back of my mind
在我的意識深處
I see my father smiling

With a face like mine
他長著一張和我一樣的臉
