歌词翻译 (English)
Father
Father, I always bring you, never forgetting.
In Beijing, New York, London, and Sydney,
I scatter you across the beautiful ports,
and meld you in with the the bubbling waves.
Father, I miss you, I miss you--
this yearning penetrates the bottom of my heart.
Can you hear me in heaven?
I'm singing this melody for you.
It was the first time I cried in front of you, at the top of my voice,
when the workers lifted the white cloth off your body.
You still looked as solemn and composed as before,
but you will never mutter anything again.
Father, I miss you, I miss you--
this yearning penetrates the bottom of my heart.
Can you hear me in heaven?
I'm quietly praying for you [from below].
Mother looks older than before;
she watches TV all night, every day.
Because suddenly, you're no longer in her life--
it's a loneliness which nobody could bear.
Father, I ask you, I ask you--
why did you leave so hastily?
Can you see from heaven
the tears I quietly shed for you?
Father, I ask you, I ask you--
why is life so hard?
Can you hear me
calling out your name from heaven?
