Were you this old, Daddy, when you were born?
No, I wasn’t; I was much smaller than now you are.
Her suspicious look accuses me of lying
Three Little Pigs and the Big Bad Wolf before her
She plays the piano like Chopin
The melody fast then slow as she turns the page
Among her fingers wolf after pigs and houses falling
But not the house of bricks—not this one which we live in
Forever it will stand in the glade where adoring eyes
Surround you playing the piano in the age of four
Diabetes came when I turned forty
Doctor says it’s either gene or excessive stress
But I know it’s because of you-- too sweet
I got too much sugar from you then in me
For the fun you did not get done in the day
I had to get up 3 times when it’s cold and dark
To sleepwalk to get you water and the like
I wish, oh I wish to live till the day
To hold your baby—the baby like you and you
Like a baby!
森林中的琴聲 (陳順龍)
你生下來就這麼老嗎,爸比?
不,以前我是比你現在還更小的baby
她一臉狐疑,擺明了我在說謊
故事書當琴譜彈,3隻小豬與大野狼
她演奏起來像蕭邦
一頁一頁翻,節奏忽快忽慢
指間滑落的地方,惡狼追小豬趕,房子滿地散
可是磚蓋的房子永遠不垮,我们住的這間
將在林間永遠屹立不搖,裡頭欣賞疼愛
的眼神包圍妳,停格在妳用故事書彈琴的4歲
40歲時爸爸得了糖尿病
醫生說是基因,要不就是太操勞
我知道是因為妳太甜了
當然就從妳,甜到我這兒來;
因為你貪玩,白天沒玩夠的還留到晚上
又冷又暗的夜裡,睡不飽的爸爸得3次起床
夢遊般走去幫你倒水,以及諸如此類的大小事
但願,我能活得夠老,能趕上
抱-你-的baby-像妳的baby;
像baby的妳!
