Father and Son
(cat stevens-Yusuf Islam)
Father
Its not time to make a change,
Just relax, take it easy.
Youre still young, thats your fault,
Theres so much you have to know.
Find a girl, settle down,
If you want you can marry.
Look at me, I am old, but Im happy.
I was once like you are now, and I know that its not easy,
To be calm when youve found something going on.
But take your time, think a lot,
Why, think of everything youve got.
For you will still be here tomorrow, but your dreams may not.
Son
How can I try to explain, when I do he turns away again.
Its always been the same, same old story.
From the moment I could talk I was ordered to listen.
Now theres a way and I know that I have to go away.
I know I have to go.
Father
Its not time to make a change,
Just sit down, take it slowly.
Youre still young, thats your fault,
Theres 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 Im happy.
(son– away away away, I know I have to
Make this decision alone – no)
Son
All the times that I cried, keeping all the things I knew inside,
Its hard, but its harder to ignore it.
If they were right, Id agree, but its them you know not me.
Now theres a way and I know that I have to go away.
I know I have to go.
(father– stay stay stay, why must you go and
Make this decision alone? )

Versi indonesia:
Teringat masa kecilku kau peluk dan kau manja
Indahnya saat itu buatku melambung
Disisimu terngiang hangat napas segar harum tubuhmu
Kau tuturkan segala mimpi-mimpi serta harapanmu
Kau inginku menjadi yang terbaik bagimu
Patuhi perintahmu jauhkan godaan
Yang mungkin ku lakukan dalam waktu ku beranjak dewasa
Jangan sampai membuatku terbelenggu jatuh dan terinjak
Tuhan tolonglah sampaikan sejuta sayangku untuknya
Ku terus berjanji tak kan khianati pintanya
Ayah dengarlah betapa sesungguhnya ku mencintaimu
Kan ku buktikan ku mampu penuh maumu
Andaikan detik itu kan bergulir kembali
Ku rindukan suasana basuh jiwaku
Membahagiakan aku yang haus akan kasih dan sayangmu
Tuk wujudkan segala sesuatu yang pernah terlewati
~Ada Band, Yang Terbaik Bagimu (Jangan Lupakan Ayah)
