歌词与翻译

[中文]

每天爸爸去上班帮忙

为了维持生计

看看我们会吃什么，

把鞋子穿在脚上。

每晚爸爸会

把我安稳地塞进床里。

在我头上亲一下，

在我把祈祷说完后。

和他一起长大很轻松，

时光飞逝。

岁月开始飞快流逝，

我们都老了，我也是。

我能感觉到，

妈妈身体不太好。

爸爸知道，心底里她也知道。

她也是如此。

她去世时，

爸爸崩溃大哭。

他只说了一句，为什么是她把我带走。

每晚他坐在那里睡觉，

在摇椅上。

他从不上楼，

只因为她已经不在了。

那天爸爸说：“儿子，你已经长大了。”

你要靠自己闯出一片天地，

哦，我一个人也能行。

我能感觉到，

妈妈身体不太好。

爸爸知道，心底里她也知道。

她也是如此。

她去世时，

爸爸崩溃大哭。

他只说了一句，为什么是她把我带走。

每晚他坐在那里睡觉，

在摇椅上。

他从不上楼，

只因为她已经不在了。

那天爸爸说：“儿子，你已经长大了。”

你要靠自己闯出一片天地，

哦，我一个人也能行。

每次我亲吻我的孩子们，

爸爸的声音在耳边回荡。

孩子们通过你而活。

他们也会长大然后离开你。

我记得每一句话

爸爸曾经说过的。

我每天都会把它们留给他们，

他用这种方式好好地教导了我。

每晚爸爸会

在床上和我说话。

在我头上亲一下，

在我把祈祷说完后。

[英语]

Every day my papa, go to work to help

to make ends meet

To see what we would eat,

keep the shoes upon my feet.

Every night my papa would take and

tuck me in my bed.

Kiss me on my head,

after all my prayers were said.

Growing up with him was easy,

just flew on by.

The years began to fly,

so we aged and so did I.

And I could tell,

that mama wasn't well.

Papa knew, and deep down so did she.

So did she.

When she died,

my papa broke down and cried.

And all he said was, why her take me.

Every night he sat there sleeping,

in his rocking chair.

He never went upstairs,

only because she wasn't there.

Then one day my papa, said, 'Son, out the way you've grown.'

Make it on your own,

oh, I'll be okay alone.

And I could tell,

that mama wasn't well.

Papa knew, and deep down so did she.

So did she.

When she died,

my papa broke down and cried.

And all he said was, why her, take me.

Every night he sat there sleeping,

in his rocking chair.

He never went upstairs,

only because she wasn't there.

Then one day my papa said, 'Son, out the way you've grown.'

Make it on your own,

oh, I'll be okay alone.

Every time I kiss my children,

papa's voice rings true.

Children live through you.

They'll grow and leave you too.

I remember every word

my papa used to say.

I'll leave them every day,

he taught me well that way.

Every night my papa would take and

talk to me in my bed.

Kiss me on my head,

after all my prayers were said.
