英文音乐长廊——oh,father

 

oh,father·

BodhiJones早年与他的母亲和...



oh,father   ·
Bodhi Jones早年与他的母亲和妹妹在在Saltspring岛、BC上度过。在他十岁那年他妈妈家搬到温哥华寻找更多的机会。Bodhi发现他对音乐的激情始于他病恹恹的、谜一般的十岁之前,并在这之后自然形成了他独特的音乐特征:中高音流行电声摇滚。这首献给父亲的歌是他在2010年的经典之作,收录于
《where Do We Go From Here》这张专辑里。

欧美乐坛有很多描写父子之情的歌,小编认为这首最写实,也最能触及内心。无论是儿子还是女儿,无论你的父亲少言寡语还是幽默健谈,现在已经长大成人的我们,会不会有这样一种感觉:原来我与这个男人共处的时光也不过寥寥那些年……所以,我们真的懂他吗?

正如女作家龙应台在《目送》里这样写到——所谓父女母子一场,只不过意味着,你和他的缘分就是今生今世不断地在目送他的背影渐行渐远;你站在小路的这一端,看着他逐渐消失在小路转弯的地方,而且,他用背影告诉你:不必追。

所以,听完拿起手机给父亲打个电话吧,不管报喜还是报忧,至少让他听到你的声音,知道你们彼此一切都好。



Oh Father
哦,父亲
I never wanted anything from you but time
我多希望时光驻留在您身上
is it too late now
是否这一切已太迟
cause the mountain's too much for us to climb
只因你我相距万里
there were days I felt the shame
曾有些日子我遗憾万分
that I could not relate
却无从说起
there were nights I felt the fraid
曾有些夜晚我恐惧难耐
that I never felt quite right
却无所适从
there were nights I felt that I would die

哦 父亲
I never wanted anything from you but love

is it too late now
是否这一切已太迟
or is the damage already been done
或因伤害已无法弥补
there were days I sit and wait
曾有些日子我日夜期盼
wishing you come and play
希望您回来陪我游玩
there were nights I lay awake
曾有些夜晚我彻夜无眠
and wonder what you'd say to me
感概您对我说过的话
there were nights I lay awake and pray
曾有些日子我整夜祈祷
