My father's never waiting by the window
我的父亲啊，从不会等候在窗边
Watching as his life goes by
他未曾叹息岁月无情，只是深深凝视着一切
He gets right in there with both hands and gets dirty
他看透世间万般污浊，却为我照亮前行之路
He'll be that way until he dies
他默默承受着命运安排，直到生命走向尽头
My father never gave me a curfew
父亲放我自由飘零
This is just what he'd say
只留下一句告诫——
He said "always wear your runners in the night time
“毋灭心中之光，
So you can just run, run away"
它能带你穿过黑夜，奔向黎明。”
My father's life was never ever easy
父亲的一生从未少过磨难
But he always made it look that way
坚毅与忍耐使他淡然面对
He would take me to shoot arrows in the forest
他的意志伴我安然行走世间
And he told me that he loved me every day
天堂的爱也照耀着我每一天
My father's never waiting by the window
我的父亲啊，从不会等候在窗边
Watching as his life goes by
他未曾叹息岁月无情，只是深深凝视着一切
