《Mama Tried》歌词

[00:00:00] Mama Tried (妈妈的努力) - The Sheltons

[00:00:12] //

[00:00:12] The first thing I remember knowing

[00:00:14] 我仍然记得一件很早的事

[00:00:14] Was a lonesome whistle blowing

[00:00:17] 那就是有一个人在寂寞地吹口哨

[00:00:17] And a young un's dream of growing up to ride;

[00:00:21] 并且幻想着长大以后能够闯荡一番

[00:00:21] On a freight train leaving town

[00:00:24] 在一条运输货物的火车上，我正要离开我的家乡

[00:00:24] Not knowing where I'm bound

[00:00:26] 却不知道我的目的地是何处

[00:00:26] No-one could change my mind but Mama tried

[00:00:30] 世上没有人能改变我的想法，但妈妈却不断地在尝试

[00:00:30] One and only rebel child

[00:00:33] 却是一个如此的叛逆小孩

[00:00:33] From a family meek and mild:

[00:00:35] 我来自一个温和儒雅的家庭

[00:00:35] My Mama seemed to know what lay in store

[00:00:39] 我的妈妈似乎知道我以后的下场会是怎样的

[00:00:39] Despite all my Sunday learning

[00:00:42] 尽管所有的星期天我都要沉溺在学习中

[00:00:42] Towards the bad I kept on turning

[00:00:44] 但是我都会不断地跟学习作反对，无恶不作

[00:00:44] Til Mama couldn't hold me anymore

[00:00:49] 直到妈妈再也不能拿我怎么样

[00:00:49] And I turned twenty-one in prison doing life without parole

[00:00:54] 在我21岁的那年，我被关进了监狱，并且不能作假释

[00:00:54] No-one could steer me right but Mama tried Mama tried

[00:00:58] 那时候没有人可以指导我，但妈妈却不断尝试，尝试着指引我走上正确的道路

[00:00:58] Mama tried to raise me better but her pleading I denied

[00:01:03] 她总是尝试着把我教育得更好，在她为我辩护的时候，我却不断地为我的罪名否认着

[00:01:03] That leaves only me to blame cos Mama tried

[00:01:17] 这一切只能怪我自己，因为妈妈已经尽力了

[00:01:17] Dear old Daddy rest his soul

[00:01:19] 我亲爱的爸爸早已上天堂了

[00:01:19] Left my Mom a heavy load;

[00:01:22] 留给我妈妈一个十分沉重的负担

[00:01:22] She tried so very hard to fill his shoes

[00:01:26] 她总是花费心机把爸爸的鞋子补好

[00:01:26] Working hours without rest

[00:01:28] 并且一直不停歇地工作着

[00:01:28] Wanted me to have the best

[00:01:31] 为的只是想让我过得更好些

[00:01:31] She tried to raise me right and I refused

[00:01:35] 她总是想要把我抚养得好好的，但我总是十分的叛逆

[00:01:35] And I turned twenty-one in prison doing life without parole

[00:01:40] 在我21岁的那年，我被关进了监狱，并且不能作假释

[00:01:40] No-one could steer me right but Mama tried Mama tried
