今天推薦給大家的是我和Emma都很喜歡的一首跟父愛有關的歌—Butterfly Fly Away。這是美國女歌手Miley Cyrus和她老爸Billy Cyrus一起唱的。歌詞十分質樸,描述了一個全能老爸,無微不至地照顧女兒,還鼓勵她勇敢追逐自己的夢想。
我最喜歡副歌部分的歌詞,大概的意思是這樣的:樹上的毛毛蟲啊/想像你將來的模樣/你還不能遠行,但卻能擁有夢想/盼望你堅持到底/終有一天,你會化成蝴蝶,漸行漸遠。
這首歌的曲調淡淡,卻充滿濃濃的父女情,特別適合一家人在一起聽。我會告訴你,我讓Emma學這首歌就是為了父親節唱給Emma爸聽的嗎?(機智臉)
好吧,聽歌!
You tuck me in, turn out the light
kept me safe and sound at night
Little girls depend on things like that
Brushed my teeth and combed my hair
Had to drive me everywhere
You were always there when I looked back
You had to do it all alone
Make a living, make a home
Must have been as hard as it could be
And when I couldn't sleep at night
Scared things wouldn't turn out right
You would hold my hand and sing to me
Caterpillar in the tree
How you wonder who you'll be
Can't go far but you can always dream
Wish you may and wish you might
Don't you worry, hold on tight
I promise you there will come a day
Butterfly fly away
Butterfly fly away (Butterfly fly away)
Got your wings, now you can't stay
Take those dreams and make them all come true
Butterfly fly away (Butterfly fly away)
You've been waiting for this day
All along and know just what to do
Butterfly, Butterfly, Butterfly, Butterfly fly away
Butterfly fly away
Butterfly fly away
另外,這首歌也是Miley Cyrus和她老爸主演的電影《乖乖女是大明星》(英文名Hanna Montana: The Movie)的插曲。《Hanna Montana》是Miley出演的一部青春偶像劇集,而《乖乖女是大明星》則是這部劇集的電影版。
別看Miley Cyrus現在把叛逆的標籤貼在腦門上,當年她刻畫的回歸親情的彷徨少女還是很成功的。這部電影雖然並沒有十分深刻,但比起國內的大批真人秀電影、粉絲電影已經算很良心的了,有各種描述親情的小細節,裡面的插曲也首首好聽,推薦給8歲以上的大孩子們。
放上這首歌的MV先大家感受一下(比我和Emma唱得好太多了,what was I thinking putting it here? )。正片在B站能搜索到,可以和孩子一起看。
