配乐:《Dance With My Father》 Back when I was a child, 时光倒流至童年时代, Before life removed all the innocence, 纯真的面庞还没有因生活的磨砺而消逝, My father would lift me high, 那时父亲常会将我高高举起, And dance with my mother and me, 跟我和母亲一起翩翩起舞。 And then... 然后, Spin me around til' I fell asleep, 我会在其臂膀轻轻的摇摆中沉入梦乡,
Then up the stairs he would carry me, 他抱着我走上通往卧室的楼梯,
And I knew for sure I was loved 我知道父亲深深爱着我。 If I could get another chance, 如果我还有一次机会, Another walk, another dance with him, 跟父亲散步,与父亲共舞, I'd play a song that would never ever end 我会放一首永远不会结束的曲子。 How I'd love love love... 我是多么渴望 To dance with my father again. 再跟父亲跳一次舞。
When I and my mother would disagree, 每当我与母亲发生矛盾 , To get my way I would run from her to him. 我都倔强地跑开她的身边转向父亲的怀抱, He'd make me laugh just to comfort me, 他会用玩笑的话语让我得到安慰。 Then finally make me do just what my momma said. 最终则能够让我顺从母亲的意愿。 Later that night when I was asleep, 那天晚上当我入睡后, He left a dollar under my sheet. 他在我铺下放了一个美元。 Never dreamed that he would be gone from me. 我从来没有想过父亲会离开我。
If I could steal one final glance, 如果我还能再最后偷偷看他一眼, One final step, 再迈出一步舞步, One final dance with him, 再跟父亲跳最后一支舞。 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... 因为我是那样渴望
To dance with my father again. 再跟父亲跳一次舞。
Sometimes I'd listen outside her door 有时候我会在母亲的门外, And I'd hear how my momma cried for him 听见她思念父亲的哭声。 I pray for her even more than me... 我能做的只是更多地为她祈祷… I pray for her even more than me..... 我为母亲祈祷...
I know I'm praying for much too much, 我知道我的要求有点过分, But could you send back, The only man she loved. 但是你能不能 把她唯一深爱的男人送回来? I know you don't do it usually, 我知道你一般不会这么做, But dear Lord she's dying, 但是万能的上帝啊, To dance with my father again. 她是多么想再和父亲共舞啊! Every night I fall asleep 每晚入睡以后, And this is all I ever dream... 同样的梦境重复出现…
