Dance With My Father(与父亲共舞) Back when I was a child, before life removed all the innocence My father would lift me high and dance with my mother and me and then Spin me around 'til I fell asleep Then up the stairs he would carry me And I knew for sure I was loved If I could get another chance, another walk, another dance with him I'd play a song that would never, ever end How I'd love, love, love To dance with my father again When I and my mother would disagree To get my way, I would run from her to him He'd make me laugh just to comfort me Then finally make me do just what my mama said Later that night when I was asleep He left a dollar under my sheet Never dreamed that he would be gone from me If I could steal one final glance, one final step, one final dance with him I'd play a song that would never, ever end 'Cause I'd love, love, love To dance with my father again Sometimes I'd listen outside her door And I'd hear how my mother cried for him I pray for her even more than me I pray for her even more than me I know I'm praying for much too much But could you send back the only man she loved I know you don't do it usually But dear Lord she's dying To dance with my father again Every night I fall asleep and this is all I ever dream 与父亲共舞 在我孩提时 当天真还未被生活吞噬 父亲常将我高高举起 同母亲和我共舞 有抱起我直到我安睡 然后包我上楼 我确信我被深爱着 如果我可以在有一个机会 与他在漫步一次,再共舞一次 我会弹奏一支无终无尽的歌曲 我是多么想再次与父亲共舞 当我与母亲想法不一致 不听话的我就跑去找父亲 他会逗我,安慰我 最后还是要我照妈妈说的做 哪天晚上当我熟睡 他在被单下留下一块钱 从为想到他会离我而去 假如我能最后偷看一眼 与他跳最后一步,舞最后一次 我会弹奏一支无终无尽的歌曲 因为我是多么想再次与父亲共舞 有时我在母亲的门旁倾听 我听到他为父亲而哭泣 我为她祈祷多过我自己 我为她祈祷多过我自己 我知道我祈求的东西太多 但是上帝你能否 送回她唯一爱过的男人 我知道你通常不这样做 但是亲爱的上帝 她是多么想再次与父亲共舞 每天夜里当我熟睡着,我就只做这个梦 黑人歌手Luther Vandross的Dance With My Father是其倾情制作的一首同名主打歌曲。这首歌曲是Luther Vandross自己真实的故事, 一个7岁孩子的记忆,一点点忧伤,更多地却是那些遥远而温暖的细节和情绪在歌曲中倾注了自己对父亲深深的怀念。 清淡的钢琴伴奏,和他伤感的演,在爱里透露出更多的是伤感。 |
