Dance with my father 



(Singer: Luther Vandross)



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 everdream





與父親共舞

(翻譯：quintessence)



小時候  孩提懵懂

我的父親會將我高高抱起  和我的母親翩然起舞

他會抱著我不斷地旋轉  直到我入睡

然後將我抱上樓  我知道父親深深地愛著我



如果我能再有一次機會  與父親散散步、跳支舞

我要放一首永不結束的曲子

我多麼希望能夠與父親再一起跳舞



當我不聽母親話的時候  我會跑到父親身邊

他會逗我笑、安慰我  最後說服我聽媽媽的話

那天晚上當我入睡後  他會在我的床單下放一塊錢

我從沒想過他會有離開我的一天



如果我能再看他一眼、陪他走走路、跳支舞

我要放一首永不結束的曲子

因為我是多麼希望能夠與父親再一起跳舞



有時我在母親的房門外傾聽  她思念父親的哭聲

我為母親祈禱  更甚為我自己

我為母親祈禱  更甚為我自己



我知道我的祈禱有點過分

但是祢能不能將母親最愛的這個人送回來呢?
