《Our Children》歌词

[00:00:10] Mother

[00:00:11] How they play,

[00:00:13] Finding treasure in the sand.

[00:00:16] They're forever hand in hand,

[00:00:20] Our children.

[00:00:23] Tateh

[00:00:23] How they laugh,

[00:00:25] She has never laughed like this.

[00:00:27] Mother

[00:00:28] Every waking moment, bliss.

[00:00:31] Both

[00:00:32] Our children.

[00:00:34] Tateh

[00:00:34] See them running down the beach.

[00:00:37] Children run so fast...

[00:00:40] Mother

[00:00:40] Toward the future...

[00:00:42] Tateh

[00:00:42] From the past.

[00:00:46] Mother

[00:00:46] How they dance,

[00:00:48] Unembarrassed and alone.

[00:00:51] Both

[00:00:51] Hearing music of their own, Our children.

[00:00:56] Tateh

[00:00:57] One so fair,

[00:00:59] Mother

[00:01:00] And the other, lithe and dark.

[00:01:02] Both

[00:01:02] Solemn joy and sudden spark,

[00:01:06] Our children.

[00:01:08] See them running down the beach.

[00:01:11] Children run so fast

[00:01:14] Toward the future

[00:01:17] From the past.

[00:01:23] There they stand,

[00:01:27] Making footprints in the sand,

[00:01:30] And forever, hand in hand,

[00:01:33] Our children.

[00:01:35] Two small lives,

[00:01:38] Silhouetted by the blue,

[00:01:41] One like me

[00:01:42] And one like you.

[00:01:53] Our children.

[00:02:03] Our children.

[00:02:05] Mother

[00:02:10] Well.

[00:02:11] Tateh

[00:02:12] You say that often. "Well".

[00:02:15] Mother

[00:02:16] It's because I don't know what to say, Baron.

[00:02:22] Tateh

[00:02:22] I'm not a Baron, of course. I'm a poor immigrant, a Jew,

[00:02:27] who points a camera so that his child can dress as beautifully

[00:02:30] as a princess. I want to drive from her memory every

[00:02:35] tenement stench and filthy immigrant street. I will buy her

[00:02:42] light and sun and clean wind of the ocean for the rest of her

[00:02:50] life. Now you know me. Now you understand. I am no Baron.

[00:03:00] I am Tateh.

[00:03:01] Mother

[00:03:03] Now I know even less what to say.

[00:03:06] Tateh

[00:03:07] Now it's my turn: Well.

[00:03:10] Mother

[00:03:13] Thank you for your confidence. I shall keep it here.
