Luther Vandross - Dance With My Father

當我還是個孩子的時候

Back when I was a child

在生活抹去所有的純真之前

Before life removed all the innocence

我的父親會把我舉得高高的

My father would lift me high

和我媽媽還有我一起跳舞然後

And dance with my mother and me and then

旋轉我直到我睡著

Spin me around till I fell asleep

然後他會抱著我上樓梯

Then up the stairs he would carry me

我確信我被愛著

And I knew for sure I was loved

如果我能再有一次機會

If I could get another chance

和他一起散步、跳舞

Another walk, another dance with him

我會演奏一首永遠不會結束的歌

I'd play a song that would never ever end

我多麼想再次和我的父親一起跳舞，哦

How I'd love, love, love to dance with my father again, ooh

當我和媽媽不同意時

When I and my mother would disagree

為了走自己的路，我會從她身邊跑到他身邊

To get my way I would run from her to him

他會讓我笑只是為了安慰我，是的，是的

He'd make me laugh just to comfort me, yeah, yeah

最後讓我照媽媽說的去做

Then finally make me do just what my momma said

那天晚上，當我睡著的時候

Later that night when I was asleep

他在我的床單下留了一美元

He left a dollar under my sheet

從未夢想過他會離開我

Never dreamed that he would be gone from me

如果我能偷看最後一眼，踏出最後一步

If I could steal one final glance, one final step

與他跳最後一支舞

One final dance with him

我會演奏一首永遠不會結束的歌

I'd play a song that would never ever end

因為我很想再和我的父親一起跳舞

'Cause I'd love, love, love to dance with my father again

有時我會在她門外聽

Sometimes I'd listen outside her door

我會聽到母親為他哭泣

And I'd hear how my mother cried for him

我為她祈禱比自己還要多

I pray for her even more than me

我為她祈禱比自己還要多

I pray for her even more than me

我知道我祈求的太多了

I know I'm praying for much too much

但你能送回她唯一愛的男人嗎？

But could you send back the only man she loved?

我知道你通常不會這樣做

I know you don't do it usually

但親愛的上帝，她很想再和我父親跳舞

But dear Lord she's dying to dance with my father again

每天晚上我都睡著了，這就是我的夢想

Every night I fall asleep and this is all I ever dream
