I got sent home from school one day with a shiner on my eye. 我被送到家离学校有一天在我眼里的发光体。

Fightin' was against the rules and it didn't matter why. 格斗是违反规定的，它并不重要原因。

When dad got home I told that story just like I'd rehearsed. 当父亲回到家我告诉那个故事就像我已经排练。

And then stood there on those tremblin' knees and waited for the worst. 然后站在那里对这些tremblin膝前，等着最坏的打算。

   

[Chorus:] [合唱： ]

And he said, "Let me tell you a secret about a father's love, 他说， “让我告诉你一个父亲的爱一个秘密，

A secret that my daddy said was just between us." 一个秘密，我爸爸说只是我们之间“ 。

He said, "Daddies don't just love their children every now and then. 他说：“老爹不只是爱自己的孩子飘飞。

It's a love without end, amen, it's a love without end, amen." 这是没有尽头的热爱，阿门，这是永无止境的热爱，阿门。 “

   

When I became a father in the spring of '81 当我成为一个父亲在81年的春天

There was no doubt that stubborn boy was just like my father's son. 毫无疑问，倔强的男孩就像我父亲的儿子。

And when I thought my patience had been tested to the end, 当我以为我的忍耐已经过测试，到最后，

I took my daddy's secret and I passed it on to him. 我把我爸爸的秘密，我把它传给了他。

   

[Chorus] [合唱]

   

Last night I dreamed I died and stood outside those pearly gates. 昨晚我梦见我死了，那些珍珠门外面站了起来。

When suddenly I realized there must be some mistake. 当我突然发现我必须有一些错误。

If they know half the things I've done, they'll never let me in. 如果他们知道一半的事情我已经做了，他们永远不会让我进去。

And then somewhere from the other side I heard these words again. 然后从某处另一边我又听到这句话。

   

[Chorus] [合唱]
