Cats in the cradle Harry Chapin A child arrived just the other day He came to the world in the usual way But there were planes to catch, and bills to pay He learned to walk while I was away And he was talking 'fore I knew it And as he grew, he said: I'm gonna be like you, dad, You know I'm gonna be like you
And the cat's in the cradle, and the silver spoon Little boy blue and the man on the moon When you coming home, dad, I don't know when But we'll have a good time then, son You know we'll have a good time then
My son turned ten just the other day, he said Thanks for the ball, dad, come on let's play Can you teach me to throw, I said not today, I got a lot to do, he said that's okay And he walked away but his smile never dimmed It said I'm gonna be like him, yeah You know I'm gonna be like him
Well he came from college just the other day So much like a man I just had to say Son I'm proud of you, can we sit for a while? He shook his head, and said, with a smile What I'd really like, dad, is to borrow the car keys See you later, can I have them please?
And the cat's in the cradle, and the silver spoon Little boy blue and the man on the moon When you coming home, son, I don't know when But we'll have a good time then, dad You know we'll have a good time then
I've long since retired, my son's moved away I called him up just the other day I said, I'd like to see you, if you don't mind, he said I'd love to, dad, if I could find the time You see my new job's a hassle and the kids got the flu But it's been sure nice talking to you, yeah Sure nice talking to you And as I hung up the phone it occurred to me He'd grown up just like me, yeah My boy was just like me | 摇篮里的猫 哈利却宾
有个孩子在某一天到来 他以寻常的方式来到这个世界 但我得赶飞机、付帐单 他在我离家时学走路 在我知道以前就学会了讲话 当他渐渐长大,他说: 爸,我将来要像你一样 我将来要像你一样
摇篮里的小猫,银色的憷匙 小男孩和月球上的人 "当你回到家,爸,虽然我不知道是什麽时候" "儿子,那时我们会有一段美好的时光" 我们会有一段美好的时光
有一天我儿子满十岁了,他说: "谢谢你送我棒球,爸,我们来玩 你能教我投球吗?" 我说"今天不行, 我有事要办",他说"没关系" 然後走开,依然笑嘻嘻的 好像说:我将来要像他一样 我将来要像他一样
有一天他从大学回来 我只能说他看起来就像个男人 "孩子,我为你感到骄傲。坐下来谈谈好吗?" 他摇摇头,笑着说: "爸,我想做的就是跟你借汽车钥匙 待会儿见,可以吗?"
摇篮里的小猫,银色的憷匙 小男孩和月球上的人 "当你回到家,孩子,虽然不知道是什麽时候" "那时我们会有一段美好的时光,爹地" 我们会有一段美好的时光
我已退休多年,儿子也搬出去了 有一天我打电话给他 我说:如果不打扰的话,我想见见你 他说:我很想啊!但抽不出空来 你看我的新工作一团糟,孩子又得了流行性感冒 但很高兴能和你讲电话 很高兴能和你讲电话 挂上电话,我心想: 他长大後果然像我一样 我儿子就像我一样 |
