Away When You Were Here - Ben Folds Five

Written by：Ben Folds

Dad I know you were sad when you died
爸爸 我知道你离去时的悲伤
And I was young
当时年幼的我
It's the way I kept you in my mind
记住了你的模样
The mess that was left and my mother cried
留下残缺破败的家庭 妈妈泣不成声
And when she stood up
当她站起身
She was nobody's mother I'd be fine
她已不再是妈妈 我会没事的
But I missed you then
但是我想念你
And I miss you now
现在仍然想念你
Liked you'd missed things I might say
就像你会想念我说的话
You're still lost in clouds
你仍迷失在天堂
But I'm older now
我已渐渐老去
I can see through lifting haze
透过升腾的迷雾我能看见
That you were away
你是我无法触及的
Even when you were here
即使您陪在我身边
Sometimes a phrase or a manner that's you
有时候一言一行
Comes through me
都是你的影子在我身上显现
It goes in a flash
像生活的灵光一闪
It's a frame it's a blink like life
像框架 像火一样
Oh and how much
多少
Now should we pay for the past
为了过去我们可以牺牲多少现在啊
'Cause you could age
因为您会老去
With grace if I freed you in my mind
若心内不牵绊记挂您
But I loved you then
但是我爱您
And I love you now
现在依然爱您
All the things I wished I'd asked
那些我希望问你的事情
When I'm lost in clouds
待我上了天堂
I remember how
我还记得
I was robbed and I was blessed
被抢劫却毫发无伤
And you were away
你离开了
Even when you were here
是您伴我左右给我护佑
'Cause it's not about you
因为那不是关于你的
Not you anymore
不再和您有关
It's about what I'd do with it all
只和我如何应对有关
And I I'll never let you let me down
我永远都不会对您失望
This morning
今天早晨
I wake to be older than you were
醒来发现 我已比您离去时要老
Flash I'll smell
那些闪回的画面
For miles very footstep would be mine
我深一脚浅一脚去找寻
You'd have lost that weight
如果还在 您肯定瘦了
You'd have gone so straight
身材笔直挺拔
You'd have made my wedding day
您肯定能出席我的婚礼
You'd have saved my youth
您肯定拯救了我的青年时期
From that point of truth
说实话
You'd have kept those wolves at bay
您肯定不会让狼近我一分一毫
But you were away
但是您不在了
You were away even when you were here
您一直伴我左右 我却无法触及
