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.

父亲和爸爸有着不同的含义

一个人可能是爸爸但不是父亲

或者他可能是父亲不能去打扰

通过爱，这个名字会赚取很多

有人发现父子关系太平淡

他把很多细节都抛给了母亲

或者他把这甜蜜的负担抛给别人

而他自己只会感到一时的羞愧

你已经成为我们的爸爸好多年了

那你也成为一个风景那就是家

你是我们远远观望的一座大山

不管我们去哪里我们都不会孤单

因为你永远在我们心中安慰我们的畏惧

告诉我们自己是谁
