今天的歐美經典控，和大家一起分享一首關於父親的歌曲---Dance with my father《與父親共舞》。《Dance With My Father》是Luther Vandross2003年6月發行的專輯，共收錄了14首歌曲。
這張專輯之所以定名為《Dance With My Father》，是因為Luther Vandross對父親的紀念，描述自己孩提的記憶以及對父親的懷念~感人~
《與父親共舞》
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,
小時候,天真懵懂。
父親會把我高高舉起,
跟我和母親一起翩翩起舞.然後,
抱著我轉圈,直到我入睡.
父親會把我抱上樓.
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.
我知道父親深深愛著我，
如果我還有一次機會,跟父親散步,與父親共舞,
我會放一首永遠不會結束的曲子。
我是多麼想再跟父親跳一次舞.
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 momma said.
Later that night when I was asleep,
He left a dollar under my sheet.
Never dreamed that he would be gone from me.
當我不想聽母親話的時候,我就會跑到父親跟前.
他會想辦法讓我笑起來,安慰我，但是最後讓我照母親的話去做.
那一晚在我睡覺的時候,他在我的床單下放了一塊錢.
從來沒有想過父親會離開我.
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.
如果我能再看父親一眼,再邁出一步舞步,
再跟父親跳最後一支舞，我會放一首永遠不會結束的曲子.
因為我是多麼想，再跟父親跳一次舞.
Sometimes I'd listen outside her door
And I'd hear how my momma cried for him
I pray for her even more than me...
I pray for her even more than me.
有時候我會在母親的門外,聽見她思念父親的哭聲。
我為母親祈禱…我為母親祈禱...
I know I'm praying for so 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 ever dream...
我知道我的要求有點過分,
但是你能不能把她唯一深愛的男人送回來?
我知道你一般不會這麼做,
但是我的主啊,她是多麼想再和父親共舞啊!
每晚入睡以後,同樣的夢境重複出現…
（錄到最後，感動到想哭，讓我去哭一會兒...）
