Father And Son

Ronan Keating, Yusuf - Father And Son


今日父亲节例牌给大家介绍相关的温情歌曲，选了百听不厌，70年代的名曲Father and Son。首次接触是Boyzone翻唱的版本，配上主唱Ronan Keating沙哑的嗓音恰到好处。原唱者兼创作者Cat Stevens(现称Yusof Islam)的演绎，更具沧桑感，新旧版本同样动听。现在破天荒两人齐齐演绎这首歌，实在难得，两者分别演绎歌曲内两父子的部分。歌词写得非常好，描述亲情之间的感情。内容是父亲对儿子那份深深不倦的叮咛，虽然孩子不见得想听，但是父爱就在这短短几分钟的歌词中表露无遗。

Father
It's not time to make a change,
Just relax, take it easy.
You're still young, that's your fault,
There's so much you have to know.
Find a girl, settle down,
If you want you can marry.
Look at me, I am old, but I'm happy.

I was once like you are now, and I know that it's not easy,
To be calm when you've found something going on.
But take your time, think a lot,
Why, think of everything you've got.
For you will still be here tomorrow, but your dreams may not.

Son
How can I try to explain, when I do he turns away again.
It's always been the same, same old story.
From the moment I could talk I was ordered to listen.
Now there's a way and I know that I have to go away.
I know I have to go.

Father
It's not time to make a change,
Just sit down, take it slowly.
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.
(Son-- Away Away Away, I know I have to
Make this decision alone - no)

Son
All the times that I cried, keeping all the things I knew inside,
It's hard, but it's harder to ignore it.
If they were right, I'd agree, but it's them you know not me.
Now there's a way and I know that I have to go away.
I know I have to go.
(Father-- Stay Stay Stay, Why must you go and
make this decision alone?)
