He Didn't Have to Be - The Hit Crew
以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
When a single mom goes out
当单亲妈妈初次赴约
On a date with somebody new
与陌生人共进晚餐
It always winds up feeling more
却总像在经历一场
Like a job interview
严苛的工作面试
My momma used to wonder
母亲曾暗自思量
If she'd ever meet someone
能否遇见良人
Who wouldn't find out about me
不因我的存在
And then turn around and run
便转身逃离
I met the man I call my dad
我遇见那个被我唤作父亲的人
When I was five years old
那时我年仅五岁
He took my mom out to a movie
他带妈妈去看电影
And for once I got to go
那是我第一次得以同行
A few months later
几个月后
I remember lying there in bed
我记得躺在床上
I overheard him pop the question
无意间听见他求婚的誓言
And prayed that she'd say yes
暗自祈祷她会应允
And then all of a sudden
就在那一瞬间
Oh it seemed so strange to me
噢 感觉如此奇妙
How we went from something's missing
我们从残缺不全
To a family
变成了完整家庭
Lookin' back all I can say
回首往事我只能说
About all the things he did for me
关于他为我付出的一切
Is I hope I'm at least half the dad
但愿我能成为至少一半
That he didn't have to be
像他这样本不必付出的好父亲
I met the girl that's now
我遇见了如今成为我妻子的女孩
My wife about three years ago
大约在三年前
We had the perfect marriage
我们拥有完美的婚姻
But we wanted somethin' more
但还渴望更圆满
Now here
此刻
I stand surrounded by our family and friends
我站在亲友的环绕中
Crowded 'round the nursery window
他们簇拥在育婴室窗前
As they bring the baby in
看着护士抱来新生儿
And now all of a sudden
此刻一切突然变得
It seemed so strange to me
如此奇妙难以言喻
How we've gone from something's missing
我们从残缺的拼图
To a family
变成了完整家庭
Lookin' through the glass
透过玻璃窗凝望
I think about the man
想起那个始终
That's standin' next to me
站在我身旁的男人
And I hope I'm at least half the dad
我希望能成为他一半的好父亲
That he didn't have to be
像他这样本不必付出的好父亲
Lookin' back all I can say
回首往事我只能说
About all the things he did for me
关于他为我付出的一切
Is I hope I'm at least half the dad
但愿我能成为至少一半
That he didn't have to be

Because he didn't have to be
因为他本不必这样
You know he didn't have to be
你知道 他本不必这样
