My child arrived just the other day
He came to the world in the usual way
But there were planes to catch, and bills to pay
He learned to walk while I was away
And he was talking ’fore[即before] I knew it, and as he grew
He’d say, “I’m gonna be like you, Dad
You know I’m gonna be like you.”
*And the cat’s in the cradle[摇篮] and the silver spoon
Little boy blue[忧郁的] and the man on the moon
“When you coming home, Dad?” “I don’t know when
But we’ll get together then
You know we’ll have a good time then.”*
My son turned ten just the other day
He said, “Thanks for the ball, Dad. Come on, let’s play
Can you teach me to throw?” I said, “Not today
I got a lot to do.” He said, “That’s okay.”
And then he walked away, but his smile never dimmed[暗淡]
And said, “I’m gonna be like him, yeah
You know I’m gonna be like him.”
Repeat*
Well, he came from college just the other day
So much like a man I just had to say
“Son, I’m proud of you. Can you sit for a while?”
He shook his head, and he said with a smile
“What I’d really like, Dad, is to borrow the car keys
See you later. Can I have them please?”
**And the cat’s in the cradle and the silver spoon
Little boy blue and the man on the moon
“When you coming home, son?” “I don’t know when
But we’ll get together then, Dad**
You know we’ll have a good time then.”
I’ve long since retired and my son’s moved away
I called him up just the other day
I said, “I’d like to see you if you don’t mind.”
He said, “I’d love to, Dad, if I could find the time
You see, my new job’s a hassle[麻烦], and the kid’s have the flu[流感]
But it’s sure nice talking to you, Dad
It’s been sure nice talking to you.”
And as I hung up the phone, it occurred to[想到] me
He’d grown up just like me
My boy was just like me
Repeat**
We’re gonna have a good time then.”
我的孩子那一天来到人世
就像其他孩子一样降生
但我还要赶飞机，缴账单
我不在身边时他已学会走路
不经意间他已学会讲话，一天天长大
他说：“爸，我将来要像你一样
我将来要像你一样。”
*小猫和银勺子待在摇篮里
小男孩忧伤时，男人却在月亮上
“爸，你什么时候回家？”“我不知道
但我们到时会在一起的
我们会一起度过美好时光。”*
儿子转眼就十岁了
他说：“谢谢你送给我的球，爸。来，一起玩吧
你能教我投球吗？”我说：“今天不行
我还有很多事要忙。”他说：“那好吧。”
他走开了，依然笑嘻嘻的
他自言自语：“我将来要像他一样，没错
我将来要像他一样。”
重复*
那天他从大学回来
他已长大成人，我不由说
“儿子，我真为你自豪。能陪我坐一会儿吗？”
他摇摇头，笑着说
“爸，我回来其实是想借你的车匙
待会儿见吧。你能借给我吗？”
**小猫和银勺子待在摇篮里
小男孩忧伤时，男人却在月亮上
“儿子，你什么时候回家？”“我不知道
但我们到时会在一起的**
我们会一起度过美好时光。”
我早已退休，儿子也搬了出去
那一天我给他打电话
我说：“我想去看看你，如果你不介意的话。”
他说：“那太好了，老爸，如果我有时间的话
瞧，我的新工作一团糟，孩子得了流感
但真高兴能和你聊聊，爸
真高兴能和你聊聊。”
我放下电话，忽然意识到
他长成了像我这样的人
我儿子就和我一样
重复**
我们会一起度过美好时光。”
歌的故事
在星光璀璨的美国流行音乐史上，Harry Chapin从来不是最闪亮的一颗。但提起他这首自述性的名曲，许多资深歌迷依旧难以忘怀——这不，《怪物史莱克3》又让它重新勾起我们的回忆。
忙着赶场，忙着创作，热衷政治和慈善的Harry Chapin奔波在繁忙的路上，却对儿子疏于关心。最后，追悔不已的他在妻子的鼓励下写出了这首引起无数人共鸣的父子之歌。朴实流畅的旋律，轻描淡写的话语，不经意之间已将人情冷暖深深勾勒。那不是荧幕上赚人眼泪的刻意渲染，却能在我们心中最软的一处轻轻一捏。儿子小时候总盼着忙碌的父亲能陪他玩玩，当父亲年老、儿子成人，原来谁也不曾与谁作伴。可感情不是等在回忆中发酵的，泪水不是留在悔恨中溃堤的——无论有多忙，你都应该找点时间陪陪他，不是吗？
