[Verse 1: Asher Roth] [诗歌1 ：阿舍·罗斯]

He leans back from his desk 他靠在椅子上，从他的办公桌

Rubs the back of his neck, the stress takes effect 揉了揉脖子后面，应力生效

Grips the bridge of his noise 握住他的噪声的桥

Squints while he's showing emotion he normally won't 斜视，而他的情感展示他通常不会

At 56, he re-evaluates 56 ，他重新评估

Possibly regretting some decisions that he's made 也许遗憾的是，他的做一些决定

Black is turning grey, patches of his age 黑色是把他的年龄，灰色，补丁

Reflecting from the glasses of passive of every page 从被动的每一页的眼镜反射

Passionately Dave reads, reading on occasion 热情戴夫读，读之际

Dreaming of the day when he can do the same thing 梦想着这一天的时候，他可以做同样的事情

He's always wanted to write, that's all he's wanted in life 他一直想写，这一切他想要的生活

With two daughters, a son and a remarkable wife 有两个女儿，一个儿子和一个了不起的妻子

He's in a bind, he has to provide 他处于困境时，他必须提供

A family is relying on a millie to survive 家庭是依靠米莉生存

His father died at 56 他的父亲在56死

So he's well aware how vital a father figure is 所以，他清楚地知道如何重要的一个父亲是

How big of a responsibility it is 多大的责任是

To be a good husband and care for your kids 要成为一个好丈夫和照顾你的孩子

Never miss an event, helping them with their homework 决不会错过的活动，帮助他们与他们的家庭作业

Discipline to prevent things when they're older 纪律，以防止事情时，他们的年龄较大的

His only son is only 21 他唯一的儿子只有21岁

And focus as a poet has only just begun 并注重作为一个诗人才刚刚开始

Papa isn't dumb, he understands what this means 爸爸是不是哑巴，他明白这意味着什么

His dream is my dream, my dream is his dream 他的梦想就是我的梦想，我的梦想是他的梦想

   

[Chorus: Miguel] [合唱：米格尔]

I close my eyes and I can see (His dream) 我闭上眼睛，我可以看到（他的梦想）

The sacrifices he made for me (His dream) 他为我做的牺牲（他的梦想）

Put it aside for his family (His dream) 静置他的家人（他的梦想）

Yeah, so I'ma keep it alive, Yeah 是啊，所以我是保持它活着，是的

   

[Verse 2: Asher Roth] [诗2：阿舍·罗斯]

And so he targeted to be the dream guardian 因此，他的目标是守护梦想

Guarding it from anything and anyone whose harming it 从任何事情，任何人的伤害就守着它

But in his heart, he knows the hardest thing about it is 但在他的心脏，他知道最难的事情是

Giving up on his dream to be all about his kids 在他的梦想放弃是所有关于他的孩子们

As he kisses the lips of the misses 当他亲吻了失误的嘴唇

For 24 years going on the 25th 24年会25日

He thinks to himself, this alone is a wealth 他心里想，这仅仅是一笔财富

It's greater than what's bought and then sold on the shelf 这是比什么买了，然后卖在货架上

Sometimes a dream is all that we have 有时梦想是我们所必须

We have to continue to dream 我们要继续梦想

Cause once it is lost amongst other thoughts 导致一旦失去了除其他想法

Then what really are we, what are we? 那么真的是我们，我们是什么？

   

[Chorus] [合唱]

   

[Verse 3: Asher Roth] [第3节：阿舍·罗斯]

So he sits back at his desk 于是，他坐在后面，在他的办公桌

Cracking his knuckles and back of his neck 破解他的指关节和他的颈后

Faxing a paper displaying his name 传真显示他的名字的文件

On another application explaining the main 在其他应用程序中说明的主要

Things they should know but the things that they don't 事情就应该知道，但事情他们不

Are the things that distinguish him as an adult 是区分他作为一个成年人的事

And over the phone, he can never expose 并通过电话，他永远无法揭露

The role that he chose, the role in his home 他选择的角色，在他家中的作用

And at home, he's a leader, a father 在家里，他是一个领袖，一个父亲

He'll prove it by using his son and his daughters 他会利用他的儿子和他的女儿们证明这一点

In their life, he'll be playing the part of 在他们的生活中，他将在比赛中的一部分

The one who inspires, the one we admire 一个谁启发，一个我们钦佩

His only son is only 21 他唯一的儿子只有21岁

And focus as a poet has only just begun 并注重作为一个诗人才刚刚开始

Papa isn't dumb, he understands what this means 爸爸是不是哑巴，他明白这意味着什么

His dream is my dream, my dream is his dream 他的梦想就是我的梦想，我的梦想是他的梦想
