Back when I was a child 回来时，我还是个孩子

Before life removed all the innocence 以前的生活带走所有的天真

My father would lift me high 我父亲把我高高举起

And dance with my mother and me and then 并与我的母亲和我，然后跳舞

   

Spin me around till I fell asleep 我旋转直到我睡着了

Then up the stairs he would carry me 然后上楼梯，他抱我

And I knew for sure 我知道肯定

I was loved 我是爱

   

If I could get another chance 如果我还有一次机会

Another walk, another dance with him 散步，与他跳舞

I’d play a song that would never, ever end 我一定要永远永远不休止的歌

How I’d love, love, love to dance with my father again 我如何爱，爱，爱跳舞，又与我父亲

   

Ooh, ooh 哦，哦

   

When I and my mother would disagree 当我和我的母亲不会同意

To get my way I would run from her to him 让我的方式，我就会跑到他

He’d make me laugh just to comfort me, yeah, yeah 他会想办法让我笑起来，安慰我，是啊，是啊

Then finally make me do just what my mama said 后来终于让我做的正是我的妈妈说

   

Later that night when I was asleep 那天晚上，当我睡着了

He left a dollar under my sheet 他留下一块钱我的床单下放

Never dreamed that he 做梦也没有想到，他

Would be gone from me 想从我这里消失

   

If I could steal one final glance 如果我能看他最后一眼

One final step, one final dance with him 最后一步，跟他跳最后一次舞

I’d play a song that would never, ever end 我一定要永远永远不休止的歌

‘Cause I’d love, love, love to dance with my father again 因为我爱，爱，爱跳舞，又与我父亲

   

Sometimes I’d listen outside her door 有时候我会听她的门外

And I’d hear her, mama cryin’ for him 我想听到她，妈妈在哭泣，为他

I pray for her even more than me 我祈祷她比我更

I pray for her even more than me 我祈祷她比我更

   

I know I’m prayin’ for much too much 我知道我祈祷的太多了

But could You send back the only man she loved 但你能不能把后面的唯一的男人，她爱

I know You don’t do it usually 我知道你不这样做，通常

But Lord, she’s dyin’ to dance with my father again 但主啊，她快要枯萎再跳舞爸爸

Every night I fall asleep 每天晚上我都睡着了

And this is all I ever dream 这就是我全部的梦
