The Things I Never Told My Children - Mikhail Bennett
以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
One day you'll look
某天你会注视着我
or follow albums
或是翻看着相册
and see a younger man in me
从我身上 看到那个年轻的影子
A father's smile through the hard times
那是父亲在艰难岁月里的微笑
Trying to be stronger than he seemed
努力表现得 比看起来更坚强
There were nights I sat there worrying
曾有无数个夜晚 我独自坐着忧心忡忡
Praying while the whole house slept
在全家人都已入睡时 默默祈祷
You never saw the tears I cried
你从未见过我流下的泪水
Or the promises I kept
也未曾察觉我默默坚守的承诺
Some truths are carried quietly
有些真相 总是被静静地背负
Deep inside a father's heart
深藏在一位父亲的心底
These are the things
这些事
I never told my children
我从未对孩子们提起
How much I loved you from the start
从一开始 我就如此深爱着你们
How every prayer I whispered to heaven
我向上天许下的每一次低语
Always carried your hearts
都始终牵挂着你们的心
I would have traded every dream I had
我愿用我所有的梦想去交换
Just to keep your pain away
只为让你们远离痛苦
These are the things I never told my children
这些事,我从未对孩子们提起
Until today
直到今天
I never told you how afraid I was
我从未告诉过你 我曾有多么恐惧
The day I watched you growing up
就在看着你渐渐长大的那天
As every step you took toward freedom
当你迈向自由的每一步
Was one step farther from my arms
都离我的怀抱又远了一步
And I never told you
我从未告诉过你
How much I missed you
我是多么地想念你
When the house grew still at night
当夜晚的家里变得寂静无声
Or how often I stood by your doorway
或是我有多少次 伫立在你的门边
Just to make sure you were alright
只为确认你一切安好
A father has a thousand heartaches
父亲的内心 藏着千般心酸
Behind a simple smile
却只露出一抹简单的微笑
These are the things
这些事
I never told my children
我从未对孩子们提起
How proud you made me through the years
这些年来 你们让我感到多么自豪
How watching you become who you are
看着你们成长为如今的模样
Was worth every sacrifice and tear
所有的牺牲与泪水 都值得了
And when my name becomes a memory
当我只剩名字留在回忆里
And my chair sits empty one day
当我的座位 终有一天空空如也
Remember these are the things I never told my children
请记得 这些事我从未对孩子们提起
But always wanted to say
却一直想亲口诉说
That someday you're standing by my grave
终有一天 你会站在我的墓前
Wishing we had one more day
渴望我们能再多相处一天
Don't cry
别哭泣
Because I left too soon
只因我离开得太早
Thank God

For all the years he gave
赐予我们的那些岁月
These are the things
这些事
I never told my children
我从未对孩子们提起
You were the greatest gift

God gave me
是上帝赐予我的
Not the money, not the houses
不是金钱 也不是豪宅
Not anything this world could be
不是这世间的任何身外之物
And when I stand before my savior
当我站在救主面前
The one thing I'll be bringing is
我唯一要带去的是
That long after I'm gone
在我离去很久以后
You'll never doubt
你永远不会怀疑
How much your father loved you
你的父亲曾有多么爱你
These are the things
这些事
I never told my children
我从未对孩子们提起
Because I thought

I had more time
