《父与子》Father and son

我沿着爱的轮廓
窜起我记忆里你的脸庞
在这即将来临的永恒的离别
可是你也用同样的眼神看着我，说
儿子呀，我知道你也和我一样

从前与你的离别总燃起重逢的希望
O 不是这一次，也不会有下一次
所以我总带着希望你也能记住的微笑
可是你也这样的对着我微笑，说
儿子呀，我知道你也和我一样

你问我，想不想留下来，或许
多一分钟、多一天、多一年
我说，想，真的很想，就像海洋能永远拥抱着河流
你不想我离开，我说
儿子呀，你知道的我也和你一样

I follow the contour of love
to connect the memory of your face
for this coming parting forever
but you look at me in the same way, and say
hey son, I know we have the same feeling too

A goodbye used to be an arising hope
for our next meeting, O no, not this time, and not anymore
So I always smile to you and wish you to remember
but you smile to me in the same way, and say
hey son, I know we have the same feeling too

You ask me if I want to stay a little bit longer, may be
a minute more, a day more, or a year more
I reply, I do, I really do, to be like the ocean forever embracing the river
you do not wish for me to leave, and I say
hey son, you know we have the same feeling too
