It was songs of love that I would sing to then.

那些旧日跟唱过的旧情歌。

When evening fell, my father would sit out in the verandah facing the garden. I would then be summoned to sing to him.

到了晚上，父亲会坐在花园对面的凉台上，我被叫来唱歌给他听。

I wish that I could sing better, more melodiously, but then perhaps you would never have consented to listen to me.

我倒是希望自己能唱得更好一些、更加悦耳一些，不过那样一来你也许永远不会愿意听我唱了。
