凯特-斯蒂文斯（Cat Stevens）的《父与子》绝对是一首让你满心感动的歌。走过人生大半旅程的父亲看着与自己当初同样懵懂的儿子，想说些什么，又不知如何说起；即使说，孩子又能理解多少呢？千般感触、万句叮咛说出口，竟带着阅历沉淀的辛酸：“你还年轻，还有太多你须要知道的，还有太多你须要经历的”，“明天，你仍会在这里，你的梦想却不一定”，“看看我，我老了但是很幸福”……

Father And Son
Cat Stevens

It's not time to make a change. Just relax¹, take it easy
You're still young. That's your fault². There's so much you have to know
Find a girl, settle³ down. If you want you can marry⁴
Look at me. I am old but I'm happy

I was⁵ once like you are now and I know that it's not easy
To become when you've found⁶ something going⁷ on
But take your time, think a lot. I think of everything you've got⁸
For you will still be here tomorrow. But your dreams⁹ may not

How can I try to explain¹⁰? When I do it turns away again
And it's always been the same, same old story
From the moment I could¹¹ talk I was ordered¹² to listen
Now there's a way, and I know that I have to go away. I know, I have to go

It's not time to make a change. Just sit down and take it slowly¹³
You're still young. That's your fault. There's so much you have to go through
Find a girl, settle down. If you want you can marry
Look at me. I am old but I'm happy

All the times, that I've cried keeping all the things I knew inside¹⁴
And it's hard. But it's harder to ignore¹⁵ it
If they were right I'd agree¹⁶. But it's them, they know. Not me
Now there's a way, and I know that I have to go away. I know, I have to go
