許久不見的Owl City,這次帶來一首相當溫馨的歌曲。

爸爸是我們的第一個超級英雄,似乎刀槍不入,什麼都會,

其實他們堅強的外表下,都有一顆柔軟的心。

無論我們長多大,父親都是我們的超人,無所不能。

 

He doesn't fight crime or wear a cape

他不曾穿著斗篷,打擊罪犯

He doesn't read minds or levitate

也沒有任何超能力

But every time my world needs saving, he's my superman

但只要我的世界倒塌,他會為我變身成超人

Some folks don't believe in heroes 'cause they haven't met my dad

那些不相信超人存在的人們,是因為他們不認識我父親

 

He loves his workshop and rock and roll

他愛他的工作房,也愛搖滾樂

He's got a *hot rod and a heart of gold

他擁有一輛沙漠之車,擁有一顆熱忱的心

And you could say he's a man of few words, but he talks a lot within

他簡短的話語裡,蘊藏著許多意義

And even though I'm a little taller, I still look up to him

即便我早已比他還高,我仍然仰望著他

 

He built me a house in the arms of a tree

他為在盤根錯節的樹枝中,建造一個樹屋

He taught me to drive, and to fight, and to dream

教會我開車,教會我爭論,教會我作夢

When he looks in my eyes I hope he can see

當他注視著我

That my dad's a hero to me

我希望他能明白,他就是我的英雄

 

Rust-ridden fenders, and doors full of dings

生鏽的擋泥板,損壞的門

Somehow he can fix about anything

他能將它們修到完好如初

I didn't think he knew how to cry till our dog died that year

我以為他不會哭泣,直到那年我們家的老狗死去

He doesn't always say I love you, but I can hear him loud and clear

他不常說愛著我們,但我卻能清晰地聽見

 

He built me a house in the arms of a tree

他為在盤根錯節的樹枝中,建造一個樹屋

He taught me to drive, and to fight, and to dream

教會我開車,教會我爭論,教會我作夢

When he looks in my eyes I hope he can see

當他注視著我

That my dad's a hero to me

我希望他能明白,他就是我的英雄

 

He built me a house in the arms of a tree

他為在盤根錯節的樹枝中,建造一個樹屋

He taught me to drive, and to fight, and to dream

教會我開車,教會我爭論,教會我作夢

When he looks in my eyes I hope he can see

當他注視著我

That my dad's a hero to me

我希望他能明白,他就是我的英雄

 

My dad's a hero to me

我的父親,我的英雄

My dad's a hero to me

父親啊,你就是我心目中的英雄

 

 

*Hot Rod的起源要從美國加州所特有的地理條件說起。千百年來,加州的沙漠和乾燥的氣候造就了一些自然的幹涸湖床,它們被稱為「Dry Lake」。上天的恩賜創造了極速競賽的絕佳場地,因此二戰前北美的汽車改裝文化就發端於此。
