If I Sing

My father's pride
我的父親
Was in his hands
以他的雙手為榮
The piano was his soul
鋼琴是他的靈魂
I watched him wondered
當他彈奏之時
As he played show tums
他便是奇蹟
Miles from rock and roll
What he loved
他將他的摯愛
He tought me
傳授於我
Now music's what I do
現在音樂也是我的一部分
And often
時常
When I'm writing
當我落筆
In my hands
我的手中
Dad's there too
有父親的影子
If I sing
我若歌唱
You are the music
你是音樂
If I fly
我若飛翔
You're why I'm good
你是翅膀
If my hands
我若能夠
Can find some magic
尋得魔力
You're the one
你便是
Who said they could
我的指引
When the child
當年幼的影子
Who's still inside me
還在我的心中
Find the song in empty air
在虛無中尋找音樂
When there is joy
當音樂的樂趣
In making music
還在我的心中
It is you Dad
是因為你在我心中
There
我的父親
My dad grew old
我的父親漸漸衰老
His hands grew numbed
他的手不再靈巧
And now he cannot play
他的音樂不再吟唱
I came to visit
我去看他時
He sat and asked me
他問我
How could it be this way?
為何會這樣
I couldn't find an answer
我答不上來
I played this tum for him instead
只能為他演奏
My father sat there smiling
他微笑著
For he knew
因為他知道
What is said
正如我所說
If I sing
我若歌唱
You are the music
你是音樂
If I love
我若深愛
You tought me how
也是你
Every day your heart is beating
告訴我如何去愛
In the man that I am now
現在的我
If my years are tum to wonder
(If my ears are tuned to wonder)
If when I reach the cords I've hear
(If when i reach the chords are there) 如果我能觸及天籟
If there is joy in making music
如果音樂有快樂
It's the joy that we both share
那是我們父子共有的快樂
I never told you
我從未告訴你
It took time till I could see
我慢慢才發現
That If I sing
我若歌唱
You are the music
你是音樂
And you always sing
你一直在我心中
In me
歌唱
Yes, you always live in me
你一直在我心中
