 爹地,假如 Daddy What If

兒子問:爹地,假如有一天太陽不再發光,那會如何呢?
爹地說:如果太陽不再發光,你會大吃一驚
            你會睜大眼睛看著天空
            風會將你的光帶到天上
            太陽就會重新發光
 
兒子問:爹地,假如有一天風不會吹,那會如何呢?
爹地說:如果風不吹,土地就會乾渴
           你的帆船就不會動,兒子你的風箏就不會飛
           地上的草看見你的麻煩,它會去告訴風
           風就會開始吹了
 
 
兒子問:爹地,假如有一天草不再長了,那會如何呢?
爹地說:如果草不長,你也許哭說為什麼
          土地就會因為你的眼淚而滋潤
          就像你對我的愛,草會長的那麼高
          是的,草就會繼續長的
 
兒子問:爹地,假如有一天我不再愛你了,那會如何呢?
爹地說:如果你不再愛我,草就不會繼續長
          太陽就不再發光,風就不會繼續吹
          所以假如你要讓這老的世界不斷轉動
          你最好開始一次又一次地愛我
          你最好開始一次又一次地愛我  
             
你聽我 巴比   你最好開始一次又一次地愛我
你愛我 巴比   你最好開始一次又一次地愛我          
 
Daddy what if
 
(Daddy what if the sun stop shinin what would happen then)
If the sun stopped shinin youd be so surprised
Youd stare at the heavens with wide open eyes
And the wind would carry your light to the skies
And the sun would start shinin again

(Daddy what if the wind stopped blowin what would happen then)
If the wind stopped blowin then the land would be dry
And your boat wouldnt sail son and your kite wouldnt fly
And the grass would see your troubles and shed tell the wind
And the wind would start blowin again

(But daddy what if the grass stopped growin what would happen then)
If the grass stopped growin why youd probably cry
And the ground would be watered by the tears from your eyes
And like your love for me the grass would grow so high
Yes the grass would start growin again

(But daddy what if I stopped lovin you what would happen then)
If you stopped lovin me then the grass would stop growin
The sun would stop shinin and the wind would stop blowin
So you see if you wanna keep this old world a goin
You better start lovin me again again you better start lovin me again
You hear me Bobby you better start lovin me again
You love me Bobby you better start lovin me again

附記:此曲於1972年發表時是由Bobby Bare 和他五歲的兒子Bobby Bare Jr.兩人對唱,隔了約三十年後此曲由Bobby Bare Jr 和他的女兒對唱。詞曲由詩人和作曲家 Shel Silverstein所作。This song featured a 5-year-old Bobby Bare, Jr. going back and forth asking his dad questions like, "What if the sun doesnt rise today?" The song is about the relationship between the father and the son.
This was written by Shel Silverstein, a popular childrens author who was also a prolific songwriter who wrote hits for many Country artists, including Johnny Cash and Loretta Lynn. It was very rare for a Country singer to record a whole album of someone elses songs, but thats what Bare did on Lullabys, Legends And Lies, as all the songs were written by Silverstein. 資料來源:http://www.songfacts.com/detail.php?id=8560  (喜愛的西洋歌曲之一)中文歌詞由曾渙釗Arthur試譯
