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. 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 momma said. Later that night when I was asleep, He left a dollar under my sheet. Never dreamed that he would be gone from me. 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. And I'd hear how my momma 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... 英语口语测试 http://www.spiiker.com/daily/
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。他在歌曲中倾注了自己对父亲深深的怀念,清淡的钢琴伴奏,和他伤感的演唱,在爱里透露出更多的是伤感。
Back when I was a child,
小时候,
天真懵懂。
父亲会把我高高举起,
跟我和母亲一起翩翩起舞。
然后,
抱着我转圈,直到我入睡。
父亲会把我抱上楼。
我知道父亲深深爱着我。
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。
我是多么想
再跟父亲跳一次舞。
When I and my mother would disagree,
当我不想听母亲话的时候,
我就会跑到父亲跟前。
他会想办法让我笑起来,安慰我。
但是最后让我照母亲的话去做。
那一晚在我睡觉的时候,
他在我的床单下放了一块钱。
从来没有想过父亲会离开我。
If I could steal one final glance,
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。
我会放一首永远不会结束的曲子。
因为我是多么想
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,
听见她思念父亲的哭声。
我为母亲祈祷…
我为母亲祈祷...
我知道我的要求有点过分,
但是你能不能 把她唯一深爱的男人送回来?
我知道你一般不会这么做,
但是我的主啊,
她是多么想再和父亲共舞啊!
每晚入睡以后,
同样的梦境重复出现…
