spin me around ´til 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´d 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´d 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 for 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.
"爸爸跳舞"英語作文譯文:
小時候，生活還沒有帶走所有的天真，
爸爸常把我高高舉起，跟媽媽和我跳舞，然後
抱著我鏇轉直到我睡著。
然後他抱我上樓，
我敢肯定，他愛著我。
如果再有一次機會，和他一起走路，和他一起跳舞，
我一定要唱一首永遠永遠不休止的歌。
我會多么多么多么歡喜
能和爸爸再跳一次舞。
每當媽媽不聽我的話，
不答應我的要求，我就從她那裡跑開去找爸爸。
他總能讓我笑起來，給我安慰，
然後乖乖地照媽媽說的去做。
那一天深夜，我睡得很香，
他在我的床單下塞了一塊錢，
我做夢也沒想到他會從此離開我。
假如我能看他最後一眼，他最後的腳步，和他跳最後一次舞，
我一定要唱一首永遠永遠不休止的歌，
因為我多么多么多么歡喜
能和爸爸再跳一次舞。
有時我會在媽媽的房門外偷聽，
我知道她為他哭得有多傷心。
我為自己祈禱，更為她祈禱;
我為她祈禱超過為我自己。
我知道我祈求的實在太多，
但你能不能把她愛的唯一的男人送回。
我知道你一般不這么做
可是親愛的主啊，她快要死了。
為了和爸爸再跳一次舞，
每天晚上我都睡著，而這就是我全部的夢。
