167號公寓

最近北加的天氣陰冷又多雨
搞得人沒有出門的心情
某日上網  前室友兼好友老戴email來一首甜蜜又悅耳的歌
在陰霾的下雨天裡  帶給了我溫煦又平靜的好心情
"A soothing song for your baby" 老戴說
我才要說  親愛的 謝謝妳  這首歌照亮了我的一天



My Boy 我的男孩

First time I saw my son I knew I was in love　
當我第一次見到我的孩子，我就知道自己沐浴在愛的光輝中

Because he was a gift I got from somewhere up above　
因為他是天堂賜與的禮物

O wow, o yes, o joy, such joy, right here in my arms　
喔! 是的! 就是喜悅! 如此喜悅! 就在我的懷裡

He looks at me, I can see he's showing all his charms　
當他凝望著我，迷人的魅力展露無遺

Can't remember what I did before I saw his face　
不記得看著他的小臉蛋之前我到底做了什麼

But now he's here and I can feel his amazing grace　
但他就在這裡，他的存在是最美的恩賜

Watching him play somehow reminds me of myself　
看著他玩耍提醒了我

Once upon a different time when I was someone else
讓我想起過去的我與此刻的我有多麼不同

O me, o my, I feel so high every single day
噢，我每天都感覺雀躍無比

O yes, ole, my road yea yea, watching my son play
沒錯，我的人生道路，看著孩子玩耍

First time he walked it was a step into a chance 　
當他第一次嘗試著踏出他的步伐

I took his hand and then we started life's dance 　
我牽著他的手，開始跳生命中的第一支舞

The first dance was so fine that I never will forget　
他那第一次的人生之舞美好到我無法忘記

He held my hand so tightly that I haven't stopped dancing yet　
他緊緊握住我的手，我沒有停下步伐

My love, my boy, my son, my joy, always keep your glow　
我的愛、我的男孩、我的兒子、我的喜悅，總是讓我容光煥發

And know that love will be with you wherever you may go 
無論身處何方，我的愛都會與你同行

And if something should fall apart somewhere down the line 
若生命中有任何不順遂

Just tell me all about it and I will make it fine
告訴我，我會幫你扭轉困境

I traveled many roads before but somehow they were wrong
我的人生中也有過許多挫折與不順心

And sometime we find that life is just a simple song
但有時候我們會發現，生命只不過是一首簡單的好歌

Even the saddest songs have a human face 
即使是在最悲傷的音樂中也找的到溫暖

I will always keep my son in love's magic place. 　
我會讓我的孩子永遠待在這充滿愛的魔力神奇國度
