Original Lyrics
Translation in Italian
verse
Back when I was a child
Una volta quand'ero bambina
Before life removed all the innocence
Prima che la vita togliesse tutta l'innocenza
My father would lift me high
Mio padre mi sollevava in alto
And dance with my mother and me
And dance with my mother and me
And then spin me around 'til I fell asleep
And then spin me around 'til I fell asleep
Then up the stairs he would carry me
Poi su per le scale mi portava
And I knew for sure, I was loved
Ed io sapevo con certezza, ero amata
chorus
If I could get another chance
Se potessi avere un'altra occasione
Another walk, another dance with him
Un'altra camminata, un altro ballo con lui
I'd play a song that would never ever end
Suonerei una canzone che non finirebbe mai e poi mai
How I'd love, love, love
How I'd love, love, love
To dance with my father again
To dance with my father again
verse
When I and my mother would disagree
Quando io e mia madre litigavamo
To get my way I would run from her to him
Per aver ragione correvo da lei a lui
He'd make me laugh just to comfort me, yeah, yeah
He'd make me laugh just to comfort me, yeah, yeah
Then finally make me do just what my mama says
Then finally make me do just what my mama says
Later that night when I was asleep
Più tardi la notte mentre io dormiva
He left a dollar under my sheet
Lasciava un dollaro sotto le mie coperte
Never dreamed that he would be gone from me
Non mi ero mai sognata che lui se ne sarebbe andato da me
chorus
If I could steal one final glance
Se potessi rubare un ultimo sguardo
One final step, one final dance with him
Un ultimo passo, un ultimo ballo con lui
I'd play a song that will never, ever end
Suonerei una canzone che non finirebbe mai e poi mai
'Cause I'd love, I'd love to dance with my father again
Perchè vorrei, vorrei, vorrei ballare ancora con mio padre
bridge
Sometimes I'd listen outside her door
A volte ascoltavo fuori dalla sua porta
And I'd hear how my mama cried for him
E sentivo quando la mamma piangeva per lui
I pray for her even more than me
Prego per lei anche più che per me
I pray for her even more than me
Prego per lei anche più che per me
chorus
I know I'm praying for much too much
So di stare pregando per qualcosa di troppo
But could you send back the only man she loved
Ma potresti rimandare indietro l'unico uomo che lei abbia mai amato?
I know you don't do it usually
So che non lo fai normalmente
But dear Lord, she's dying
But dear Lord, she's dying
To dance with my father again
To dance with my father again
Every night I fall asleep
Every night I fall asleep
And this is all I ever dream
And this is all I ever dream
outro
I know you don't do it usually
So che non lo fai normalmente
But dear Lord, she's dying
But dear Lord, she's dying
To dance with my father again
To dance with my father again
Writer(s): Richard Marx, Luther Vandross
