凯特-斯蒂文斯(Cat Stevens)的《父与子》绝对是一首让你满心感动的歌。走过人生大半旅程的父亲看着与自己当初同样懵懂的儿子,想说些什么,又不知如何说起;即使说,孩子又能理解多少呢?千般感触、万句叮咛说出口,竟带着阅历沉淀的辛酸:“你还年轻,还有太多你须要知道的,还有太多你须要经历的”,“明天,你仍会在这里,你的梦想却不一定”,“看看我,我老了但是很幸福”……
Father And Son
Cat Stevens
It's not time to make a change. Just relax1, take it easy
You're still young. That's your fault2. There's so much you have to know
Find a girl, settle3 down. If you want you can marry4
Look at me. I am old but I'm happy
I was5 once like you are now and I know that it's not easy
To become when you've found6 something going7 on
But take your time, think a lot. I think of everything you've got8
For you will still be here tomorrow. But your dreams9 may not
How can I try to explain10? When I do it turns away again
And it's always been the same, same old story
From the moment I could11 talk I was ordered12 to listen
Now there's a way, and I know that I have to go away. I know, I have to go
It's not time to make a change. Just sit down and take it slowly13
You're still young. That's your fault. There's so much you have to go through
Find a girl, settle down. If you want you can marry
Look at me. I am old but I'm happy
All the times, that I've cried keeping all the things I knew inside14
And it's hard. But it's harder to ignore15 it
If they were right I'd agree16. But it's them, they know. Not me
Now there's a way, and I know that I have to go away. I know, I have to go
