A Father and a Dad Are Not the Same

A father and a dad are not the same:

One can be a dad and not a father,

Or one can be a father and not bother

To earn through love the more endearing name.

Some find fatherhood a bit too tame,

Leaving all the details to the mother,

Or dumping the sweet burden on another

Man with just a passing twinge of shame.

You have been our dad so many years

That you've become the landscape that is home,

The mountain that we look to from afar.

No matter where we go we're not alone,

For you remain within to still our fears

And be the word that tells us who we are.

父親和爸爸有著不同的含義

一個人可能是爸爸但不是父親

或者他可能是父親不能去打擾

通過愛，這個名字會賺取很多

有人發現父子關系太平淡

他把很多細節都拋給了母親

或者他把這甜蜜的負擔拋給別人

而他自己只會感到一時的羞愧

你已經成為我們的爸爸好多年了

那你也成為一個風景那就是家

你是我們遠遠觀望的一座大山

不管我們去哪里我們都不會孤單

因為你永遠在我們心中安慰我們的畏懼

告訴我們自己是誰
