Album: Prose Poems Written by Father
Composer: Lyrics: Dong
1984, there was no harvest.
My daughter is lying in my arms, sleeping so soundly.
There is no time to see an open-air movie tonight.
My wife reminded me to repair the pedal of the sewing machine.
I will go to my neighbor's house to borrow more money tomorrow.
The child cried all day, clamoring for biscuits.
The blue polyester coat broke my heart.
Squatting by the pond, I punched myself twice.
This is my father's diary.
This is a prose poem left by his youth.
Decades later, I watched the tears flow.
But my father is old, as old as a shadow.
1994, the crops have been harvested.
My old mother died last year.
My daughter ran into the campus with a ponytail.
But recently, she is a little lonely and has lost a lot of weight.
Think about the future, I always become a pile of old paper money.
The daughter at that time must be, will be very beautiful.
A man who loves her wants to take her home.
I can think of this, but I can't bear to look at her.
This is my father's diary.
This is his life. Stay.
Prose poems left decades later
I watched tears flow down, but my father was as old as an old newspaper.
Old newspapers, stories on them.
Is a lifetime.
Extended data:
Father's Prose Poetry is a song written, composed and sung by Dong.
Creation background
My Father's Prose Poetry is a cooperative work with the famous poet Dong. It was performed live in the variety show "The King of Poetry". The poet abstracted the fragments from his father's diary into words, and Xu Fei, who was deeply moved, carefully composed the music for him, connecting the deep affection and responsibility of his father to his children with the notes, and the helpless interpretation of his children after realizing that his father was getting old with the passage of time.
After the live performance, the audience and netizens burst into tears. Xu Fei, who has been obsessed with this song for a long time, took Father's Day as an opportunity, rearranged the recording, and released the time version of "Prose Poems Written by Father".
