The tears have all been shed now 泪水如今都已流干
We've said our last goodbyes 我们已经说过了最后的再见
His souls been blessed 他的灵魂已经受到祝福
He's laid to rest 他已长眠地下去安息
And it's now I feel alone 而如今我才感觉无比孤单
He was more than just a father 他并不仅是个父亲
A teacher my best friend 还是个老师和我最好的朋友
He can still be heard 我依然可以听到她的声音
In the tunes we shared 在那些我们曾经共享过
When we play them on our own 我们曾经自己演奏过的曲调中
Chorus
I never will forget him 我永远不会忘记他
For he made me "what I am" 因为他它造就了今日的我
Though he may be gone 虽然他或许已经离去
Memories linger on 回忆却会继续流连
And I miss him, the old man 而我思念他,那老人家
As a boy he'd take me walking 小时候他常带我去散步
By mountain field and stream 走在山巅、田野和溪流边
And he showed me things 他会告诉我许多
not known to kings 国王都不知道的事情
And secret between him and me 以及他和我之间的秘密
Like the colours of the pheasant 就像那雉鸡的颜色
As he rises in the dawn 在他黎明起来开始走动的时候
And how to fish and make a wish 还有如何钓鱼、如何祈祷
Beside the Holly Tree 在那冬青树旁
Chorus
I thought he'd live forever 我以为他永远活着
He seemed so big and strong 因为他看来如此高大和强壮
But the minutes fly 但是时间分秒飞逝
And the years roll by 而岁月匆匆远去
For a father and a son 离开了一个父亲和他的儿子
And suddenly when it happened 而那件事突然发生
There was so much left unsaid 有太多的言语来不及开口
No second chance 再也没有第二次机会
To tell him thanks 可以对他表达我的感谢
For everything he's done 为了他所做的一切
Chorus
