主题：《蝴蝶之吻》一首父亲献给女儿的歌

美国抒情乡村歌手Bob Carlisle在他女儿Brooke十六岁的生日前夕，

看着女儿长大成人了，不久就要远走高飞了，感慨万千而写下了这首歌。 这首歌把一个父亲对女儿的爱写得感人致极。 旧金山的San Francisco Chronicle报的报导说， 边开车边听此歌的听众把车子停到路边，泣不成声…… 的确，这种矛盾的心理好像我现在也有了，尽管我还刚做父亲不久： 一方面希望她快快的长大； 另一方面又害怕她长大，把她推向成年人也难以把握的社会……

歌词：
Bob Carlisle--butterfly kisses

there’s two things i know for sure.
世界上只有两样东西我可以确定
she was sent here from heaven, and she’s daddy’s little girl.
她是上天赐于的恩物，是父亲的小宝贝
as i drop to my knees by her bed at night,
夜晚，我曲膝在她的床前
she talks to jesus, and i close my eyes.
闭着双眼，听着她与耶稣交谈
and i thank god for all of the joy in my life,
感谢主，赐予我生命这么对快乐
but most of all, for…
而这绝对大部分的快乐来自于
butterfly kisses after bedtime prayer.
睡前祷告后的蝴蝶之吻
stickin’ little white flowers all up in her hair.
朵朵小百花点缀在她的发间
“walk beside the pony daddy, it’s my first ride.”
daddy,
跟在我的小马后面，爸爸，这可是我第一次骑马
“i know the cake looks funny, daddy, but i sure tried.”
daddy,
蛋糕烤出来的样子很可爱，但我已经尽力了
oh, with all that i’ve done wrong, i must have done something right
o，
哦，尽管我做了不少错事，但我肯定也做对了一些。
o deserve a hug every morning,
这样才配得上每天早上的拥抱
and butterfly kisses at night.
每天晚上的蝴蝶之吻
sweet sixteen today,
今天是我宝贝的十六岁生日
She’s looking like her momma, a little more everyday.
她看上去越来越象她妈妈了
one part woman, the other part girl.
一半是女人，一般还是个女孩子
to perfume and makeup, from ribbons and curls.
用上了香水，开始化妆，不再是丝带与卷发
trying her wings out in a great big world.
将要在一个大世界里展翅高飞
but i remember…
但我仍想起
butterfly kisses after bedtime prayer.
睡前祷告后的蝴蝶之吻
stickin’ little white flowers all up in her hair.
朵朵小白花点缀在她的发间
“you know how much i love you daddy, but if you don’t mind,
你知道我有多么的爱你吗，爸爸。要是你不介意的话
i’m only going to kiss you on the cheek this time.”
这个时候我只想亲亲你的脸
with all that i’ve done wrong i must have done something right.
哦，尽管我做了不少错事，但也肯定做对了一些
to deserve her love every morning,
才配得上每天早上她的拥抱
and butterfly kisses at night.
和每天晚上的蝴蝶之吻
tag
all the precious time
所有这宝贵的时光
Iike the wind, the years go by
就如清风一样吹散
precious butterfly
我所珍爱的蝴蝶
spread your wings and fly
即将展翅飞翔
she’ll change her name today.
今天她将要换上另外一个姓
she’ll make a promise, and i’ll give her away.
而我看着她许下一个承诺
standing in the bride room just staring at her,
站在新娘的房子里，我只是呆呆地望着她
she asked me what i’m thinking, and i said “i’m not sure,
她问我我在想什么，我告诉她：“我也不知道，
i just feel like i’m losing my baby girl.”
我只是觉得我要失去我的宝贝女儿了
then she leaned over….and gave me….
接着她走近我，然后
butterfly kisses, with her mama there
给了我一个蝴蝶之吻，她的妈妈就在旁边
sticking little flowers all up in her hair
在她的头上插了一朵小花
“walk me down the aisle, daddy, it’s just about time”
时间到了，爸爸 陪我踏上红地毯吧
“does my wedding gown look pretty, daddy?” - “daddy, don’t cry.”
爸爸，我的婚纱漂亮吗？爸爸，别哭
with all that i’ve done wrong, i must have done something right
哦，尽管我做错了不少事情，但也肯定做对了一些
to deserve her love every morning,
才配的上每天早上她的拥抱
and butterfly kisses
还有那蝴蝶之吻
i couldn’t ask god for more, man, this is what love is
我不能再向主要求更多的了，这就是爱
i know i’ve gotta let her go, but i’ll always remember
我知道我必须让她走，但我永远记得
every hug in the morning, and butterfly kisses…
早上的每个拥抱，还有那蝴蝶之吻 [RM=168,100,true]http://www.mikeobrien.citymax.com/f/Bob_Carlisle_-_Butterfly_Kisses.mp3 [/rm]
