爸爸的手表

我說爸爸的手錶可不可以跑慢一點
給他更多的時間可以多看一點
早上可以晚一點,起床多睡一點
(少累一點) 我只希望這一點一點

我說爸爸的手錶可不可以跑慢一點
給他更多的時間到處多轉一些
可以少擔一點 我的心放鬆一點
我只希望這一點一點

是誰壯碩的輪廓擋住了陽光
是誰厚實的大手拉住我坐在他肩膀
是誰騎著單車帶我逛南京路
看國慶燈景高大的他笑得很幸福

他總是帶著一隻金色的手錶
秒針分針時針跑,他說這樣真好
他說你看 時針它們這麼勤勞
我們怎麼可以偷懶 兒子你有沒有聽到?

10 點下班是他晚餐的時間
是日夜操勞身體 只為能實現望子成龍的夢，
13 歲的我不懂
為什麼美國這麼辛苦他卻執著要衝

那天 發現他握筷子的手
有點微微的顫抖 他只會歎口氣
說我賺夠了環游世界的錢
就可以退休 過沒有工作壓力的晚年

我說爸爸的手錶可不可以跑慢一點
給他更多的時間可以多看一點
早上可以晚一點 起床多睡一點
(少累一點) 我只希望這一點一點

我說爸爸的手錶可不可以跑慢一點
給他更多時間到處多轉一些
可以少擔一點 我的心放鬆一點
我只希望這一點一點一點一點

我很驕傲 我爸爸是一個巨人
文革後的大學生 古時候也算是個舉人
據稱 他小時候有點玩世不恭
據稱 他生長的環境與我完全不同

穿著奶奶納的鞋底
生活在階級鬥爭的動亂的陰影
蕭條的經濟 連糧票都不太記得的我
怎麼能體會 他成長的累 苦過的生活

他告訴我 做任何事都要嚴謹
你還年輕 向前看才能向前進
言行舉止都要有禮貌
做個有為青年 這些話不說我想你也知道

我有時不喜歡他嘮叨
每次總是滔滔不覺的 然後自豪的笑笑
他想把他一輩子的經驗都教會給我
他不想我吃他吃的虧 他欣慰的說

我說爸爸的手錶可不可以跑慢一點
給他更多的時間可以多看一點
早上可以晚一點 起床多睡一點
(少累一點) 我只希望這一點一點

我說爸爸的手錶可不可以跑慢一點
給他更多時間到處多轉一些
可以少擔一點 我的心 放鬆一點
我只希望這一點一點一點一點

我說爸爸的手錶可不可以跑慢一點
給他更多的時間可以多看一點
早上可以晚一點 起床多睡一點
(少累一點) 我只希望這一點一點

我說爸爸的手錶可不可以跑慢一點
給他更多時間到處多轉一些
可以少擔一點 我的心 放鬆一點
我只希望這一點一點一點一點

他傲視過時間
年輕的輝煌
於是 在錶盤的刻度間
留下做備忘

有折損 有消耗 被淡忘的事
他是過去的擁護者
在洪流裡庸碌著 你看

他看似認真答完了人生的課題
已過一大半 但他還是那個 那年夏天
照片裡他被風打散的頭髮和擦汗的手
在平房六層樓的陽臺

在對我說著什麼
在對你說著什麼

未來說是什麼
說著說著怎麼

Father's Watch

I say, can my father's watch slow down a little bit
Give him more time to see a little more
He can get up a little later in the morning and get some more sleep
(get a little less tired) All I wish is just a little bit

I say, can my father's watch slow down a little bit
Give him more time to go around and see more places
Let him worry less, and my heart be more at ease
All I wish is just a little bit

Whose stout figure blocks the sunlight
Whose thick, strong hands hold me up and sit me on his shoulders
Who rides his bike with me through Nanjing Road
He smiles so happily looking up at the National Day light display

He always wears a gold watch
The second hand, minute hand, hour hand go round and round, he says this is so good
He says, "Look, the hour hand, they're so diligent
How can we be lazy? Son, do you hear me?"

Ten o'clock下班 is his dinner time
Every day and night he works hard, all he wants is to realize his dream for his son
When I was 13, I didn't understand
Why he insisted on going to America to work so hard

That day, I saw his hands shaking a little as he held his chopsticks
He sighed and said, "I've earned enough money to travel the world
I can finally retire and live a life without work stress"
I said, "Daddy's watch, can it slow down a bit?"

Give him more time to see a little more
He can get up a little later in the morning and get some more sleep
Give him more time to go around and see more places
(get a little less tired) All I wish is just a little bit

I say, can my father's watch slow down a little bit
Give him more time to go around and see more places
Let him worry less, and my heart be more at ease
All I wish is just a tiny bit

I am so proud, my father is a giant
A college graduate after the Cultural Revolution, a hero in ancient times
Apparently, he was a bit of a wastrel in his youth
Apparently, the environment in which he grew up was completely different from mine

Wearing shoes with soles made by my grandmother
Living in the shadow of the turmoil of class struggle
A meager economy, I hardly even remember food stamps
How can I understand the hardship, the bitter life he grew up with?

He tells me that everything you do must be done with care
You are still young, only by looking forward can you move forward
Your words and conduct should be polite
Become a promising young man, I think you know this even if I don't say it

Sometimes I don't like him nagging me
Always going on and on, then laughing proudly
He wants to teach me all the experiences of his life
He doesn't want me to suffer the losses he suffered, he says with relief

I say, can my father's watch slow down a little bit
Give him more time to see a little more
He can get up a little later in the morning and get some more sleep
(get a little less tired) All I wish is just a little bit

I say, can my father's watch slow down a little bit
Give him more time to go around and see more places
Let him worry less, and my heart be more at ease
All I wish is just a tiny bit

I say, can my father's watch slow down a little bit
Give him more time to see a little more
He can get up a little later in the morning and get some more sleep
(get a little less tired) All I wish is just a little bit

I say, can my father's watch slow down a little bit
Give him more time to go around and see more places
Let him worry less, and my heart be more at ease
All I wish is just a tiny bit

He looks down on time
The brilliance of youth
So, between the marks on the watch face
He leaves a reminder

There are losses, there is consumption, there are forgotten things
He is a defender of the past
Toiling in the torrent, look

He seems to have seriously completed the homework of life
Over half of it has passed, but he is still that same person, that summer
In the photo, his hair is ruffled by the wind and he wipes away sweat
On the balcony of the sixth floor of the bungalow

Talking to me
Talking to you

What is the future?
Talking and talking, how
