精品文摘:Dance with my father 和爸爸跳舞
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.
(一个孩子对父亲的思念)
小时候,生活还没有带走所有的天真,
爸爸常把我高高举起,跟妈妈和我跳舞,然后
抱着我旋转直到我睡着。
然后他抱我上楼,
我敢肯定,他爱着我。
如果再有一次机会,和他一起走路,和他一起跳舞,
我一定要唱一首永远永远不休止的歌。
我会多么多么多么欢喜
能和爸爸再跳一次舞。
每当妈妈不听我的话,
不答应我的要求,我就从她那里跑开去找爸爸。
他总能让我笑起来,给我安慰,
然后乖乖地照妈妈说的去做。
那一天深夜,我睡得很香,
他在我的床单下塞了一块钱,
我做梦也没想到他会从此离开我。
假如我能看他最后一眼,他最后的脚步,和他跳最后一次舞,
我一定要唱一首永远永远不休止的歌,
因为我多么多么多么欢喜
能和爸爸再跳一次舞。
有时我会在妈妈的房门外偷听,
我知道她为他哭得有多伤心。
我为自己祈祷,更为她祈祷;
我为她祈祷超过为我自己。
我知道我祈求的实在太多,
但你能不能把她爱的唯一的男人送回。
我知道你一般不这么做
可是亲爱的主啊,她快要死了。
为了和爸爸再跳一次舞,
每天晚上我都睡着,而这就是我全部的梦。
