Wind blowin' on my face
疾風刮著我的臉龐
Sidewalk flyin' beneath my bike
人行道在我的單車輪下飛速掠過
A five year-old's first taste
年僅五歲,我已嚐到
Of what freedom's really like
自由的滋味
He was runnin' right beside me
他飛奔在旁,緊緊跟隨
His hand holdin' on the seat
手掌輕輕護住我的車座
I took a deep breath and hollered
我深吸一口氣,暢快地歡呼著
As I headed for the street
一頭駛向街上
你可以放手讓你的小女兒自由飛翔了,父親
You can let go now, Daddy
請鬆開你無時無刻不守護她的雙手吧
You can let go
噢,我想我羽翼已豐,準備已足
Oh, I think I'm ready
可以去自力更生了
To do this on my own
現在想起來,沒有你寵愛的日子仍然讓人膽顫
It still feels a little bit scary
然而我想讓你明白
But I want you to know
我會獨自闖蕩這個大千世界,父親
I'll be okay now, Daddy
放心吧,慈父
You can let go
我正佇立在那聖壇邊
在兩個我一生的摯愛之間
I was standin' at the altar
對其中一個來說我是他多年的女兒
Between the two loves of my life
對另一個來說我是他未來的妻子
To one I've been a daughter
當神父啟唇問道
To one I soon would be a wife
誰將挽著新娘,將她送入婚姻的殿堂
When the preacher asked,
我的父親早已熱淚盈眶
'Who gives this woman?'
他全程緊緊握著我的胳臂
Daddy's eyes filled up with tears
直到我貼在他耳畔輕語
He kept holdin' tightly to my arm
你可以放心地把我託付給我的伴侶了,父親
'Til I whispered in his ear
請把我的手遞給我的新郎吧
噢,我想我已經做好心理準備
You can let go now, Daddy
去親自與我的另一半風雨同舟
You can let go
現在想起來,沒有你守護的日子仍然讓人膽顫
Oh, I think I'm ready
但是我想讓你明白
To do this on my own
我跟他的面前是甜蜜的未來,父親
It still feels a little bit scary
安心吧,慈父
But I want you to know
在那死氣沉沉的病房裡
I'll be okay now, Daddy
看著我所見過的最堅強的男人
You can let go
病倒入院,奄奄一息,重生之機會渺茫
我心如刀絞
It was killin' me to see
“你知道嗎?你是他彌留於世的唯一原因”
The strongest man I ever knew
夜班護士輕輕對我說
Wastin' away to nothin'
當我悄悄爬到您的病床上,凝視著孱弱的你時
In that hospital room
我的聲音嘶啞,內心崩潰,但仍然堅持著告訴你
'You know he's only hangin' on for you'
你可以安然長逝了,父親
That's what the night nurse said
邁著輕快的腳步步入天堂吧
My voice and heart were breakin'
我想我羽翼已豐,準備已足
As I crawled up in his bed, and said
可以去自力更生了
現在想起來,沒有你陪伴的日子仍然讓人膽顫
You can let go now, Daddy
然而我想讓你明白
You can let go
我會幸福快樂地一個人走下去,父親
Your little girl is ready
安息吧,慈父
To do this on my own
安息吧,慈父
It's gonna be a little bit scary
But I want you to know
I'll be okay now, Daddy
You can let go
You can let go
