《Dance With My Father》充满了Luther Vandross对父亲的纪念.感动的歌词,想你父亲头上的白发和爬满在脸上的皱纹上,让人唏嘘.Luther Vandross,这位R&B大师的深厚功力再一次得到了证明,他的音乐毫不夸张的说是完美嗓音和诗意歌词的完美结合.我们能感觉到Luther Vandross的未随时间的推移而褪色的嗓音及才华

歌词:
back when i was a child
before life removed all the innocence
my father would lift me high
and dance with my father mother me then
spin me around till 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 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 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 so much too much
but could you send back the only man she loved
i know u don’t do it usually
but dear lord she’s dying
to dance with my father again
every night i fall asleep this is all i ever dream
歌词翻译:
小时候, 天真懵懂。
父亲会把我高高举起,
跟我和母亲一起翩翩起舞。
然后, 抱着我转圈,直到我入睡。
父亲会把我抱上楼。
我知道父亲深深爱着我。
如果我还有一次机会,
跟父亲散步,与父亲共舞,
我会放一首永远不会结束的曲子。
我是多么想 再跟父亲跳一次舞。
当我不想听母亲话的时候,
我就会跑到父亲跟前。
他会想办法让我笑起来,安慰我。
但是最后让我照母亲的话去做。
那一晚在我睡觉的时候,
他在我的床单下放了一块钱。
从来没有想过父亲会离开我。
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。
我会放一首永远不会结束的曲子。
因为我是多么想 再跟父亲跳一次舞。
有时候我会在母亲的门外,
听见她思念父亲的哭声。
我为母亲祈祷… 我为母亲祈祷…
我知道我的要求有点过分,
但是你能不能 把她唯一深爱的男人送回来?
我知道你一般不会这么做,
但是我的主啊,
她是多么想再和父亲共舞啊!
每晚入睡以后,
同样的梦境重复出现…
