歌词
Luther Vandross-Dance With My Father
Luther Vandross - 与父共舞
小时候,天真懵懂。
Back when I was a child, before life removed all the innocence
父亲会把我高高举起,跟我和母亲一起翩翩起舞。然后,
My father would lift me high and dance with my mother and me and then
抱着我转圈,直到我入睡。
Spin me around ‘til I fell asleep
父亲会把我抱上楼。
Then up the stairs he would carry me
我知道父亲深深爱着我。
And I knew for sure I was loved
如果我还有一次机会,跟父亲散步,与父亲共舞,
我会放一首永远不会结束的曲子。
If I could get another chance, another walk, another dance with him
我是多么想...
I’d play a song that would never, ever end
再跟父亲跳一次舞。
How I’d love, love, love
当我不想听母亲话的时候,
To dance with my father again
我就会跑到父亲跟前。
When I and my mother would disagree
他会想办法让我笑起来,安慰我。
To get my way, I would run from her to him
而最后叫我听母亲的话。
He’d make me laugh just to comfort me
那一晚在我睡觉的时候,
Then finally make me do just what my mama said
他在我的床单下放了一块钱。
Later that night when I was asleep
从来没有想过父亲会离开我。
He left a dollar under my sheet
如果我能再看父亲一眼,再迈出一步舞步,再跟父亲跳最后一支舞。
Never dreamed that he would be gone from me
我会放一首永远不会结束的曲子。
If I could steal one final glance, one final step, one final dance with him
因为我是多么想...
I’d play a song that would never, ever end
再跟父亲跳一次舞。
‘Cause I’d love, love, love
有时候我会在母亲的门外,
To dance with my father again
听见她思念父亲的哭声。
Sometimes I’d listen outside her door
我为母亲祈祷…
And I’d hear how my mother cried for him
我为母亲祈祷…
I pray for her even more than me
我知道我的要求有点过分,
I pray for her even more than me
但是你能不能把她唯一深爱的男人送回来?
I know I’m praying for much too much
我知道你一般不会这么做,
But could you send back the only man she loved
但是我的主啊,
I know you don’t do it usually
她是多么想要和父亲共舞啊!
But dear Lord she’s dying
每晚入睡后,同样的梦境重复出现...
To dance with my father again
Every night I fall asleep and this is all I ever dream
