Back when I was a child, before life removed all the innocence

小时候，天真懵懂

My father would lift me high and dance with my mother and me and then

父亲会把我高高举起，跟我和母亲一起翩翩起舞。然后

Spin me around till I fell asleep

抱着我转圈，直到我入睡

Then up the stairs he would carry me

父亲会把我抱上楼

And I knew for sure I was loved

我知道父亲深深爱着我

If I could get another chance, another walk, another dance with him

如果我还有一次机会，跟父亲散步，与父亲共舞

I'd play a song that would never, ever end

我会放一首永远不会结束的曲子

How I’d love, love, love

我是多么想...

To dance with my father again

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

To get my way, I would run from her to him

我就会跑到父亲跟前

He’d make me laugh just to comfort me

他会想办法让我笑起来，安慰我

Then finally make me do just what my mama said

但是最后让我照母亲的话去做

Later that night when I was asleep

那一晚在我睡觉的时候

He left a dollar under my sheet

他在我的床单下放了一块钱

Never dreamed that he would be gone from me

从来没有想过父亲会离开我

If I could steal one final glance, one final step, one final dance with him

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

I’d play a song that would never, ever end

我会放一首永远不会结束的曲子

‘Cause I’d love, love, love

因为我是多么想...

To dance with my father again

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

And I’d hear how my mother cried for him

听见她思念父亲的哭声

I pray for her even more than me

我为母亲祈祷…

I pray for her even more than me

我为母亲祈祷…

I know I’m praying for much too much

我知道我的要求有点过分

But could you send back the only man she loved

但是你能不能把她唯一深爱的男人送回来

I know you don’t do it usually

我知道你一般不会这么做

But dear Lord she’s dying

但是我的主啊

To dance with my father again

我知道你一般不会这么做

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

每晚入睡后，同样的梦境重复出现...

I know you don't do it usually

我知道你一般不会这么做

But dear lord she's dying

但是我的主啊

To dance with my father again

她是多么想要和父亲共舞啊
