《My Old Man》歌词

[00:00:00] My Old Man - Rodney Atkins

[00:00:16] //

[00:00:16] I got a picture of him barefoot in the mud

[00:00:24] 我有一张照片 他赤足站在泥泞中

[00:00:24] Behind his grandpa's plow an' two great mules

[00:00:31] 在他祖父的犁后 另有两头大毛驴

[00:00:31] When he turned ten years old on May 8 '53

[00:00:39] 那时是53年5月8日 他十岁

[00:00:39] He grew up fearin' God in Washburn Tennessee

[00:00:46] 他出生于田纳西州沃什本 一个奉信上帝的家庭

[00:00:46] The closest thing he had to a Dad was his Uncle Bob

[00:00:54] 视鲍伯叔叔如父亲

[00:00:54] An' he could only dream of things like little league baseball

[00:01:00] 唯一的梦想就是加入小联盟棒球队

[00:01:00] An' that little boy with big blue eyes and calloused hands

[00:01:09] 这小男孩有双蓝色的大眼睛和结满茧的手

[00:01:09] Huh became my old man

[00:01:21] 后来他成了我老爹

[00:01:21] Well she was a Kentucky girl born on Valentine's Day

[00:01:29] 她是一个肯塔基女孩 生于情人节

[00:01:29] The fourth child of five to my Grandma Eula May

[00:01:36] 在我外婆尤拉梅五个孩子中 排行老四

[00:01:36] So shy and beautiful with sunset hair and emerald eyes

[00:01:43] 日落般灿烂的金发 绿宝石似的明眸 美丽中蕴藏羞怯

[00:01:43] Her Daddy spent his life workin' in the coal mines

[00:01:50] 外公当了一辈子的煤矿工

[00:01:50] Now in my eyes all my life my Daddy's been a Saint

[00:01:59] 在我看来 老爹一直是我生命中的圣人

[00:01:59] But even Saints need Angels to show them the way

[00:02:05] 但是圣人也需要有天使来为他们引路

[00:02:05] And over thirty-seven years ago he asked for Margaret Lynn's hand

[00:02:13] 约37年前 他向玛格里特林求婚

[00:02:13] And that Angel married my old man

[00:02:21] 然后天使嫁给了我老爹

[00:02:21] And there were times I tried to buck the truthful things they said

[00:02:29] 我一直抗拒乡亲们所说的真相

[00:02:29] But now I'm glad that more than once they rattled my stubborn head

[00:02:37] 然而现在我很高兴 他们常让我清醒过来

[00:02:37] 'Cause my folks are just like mountains I looked at from afar

[00:02:43] 当我远眺 乡亲就像山

[00:02:43] But now the closer I get to them the bigger they are

[00:02:54] 越靠近 越觉得高大

[00:02:54] The time seems to fly anymore and the holidays are so far apart

[00:03:01] 光阴如梭 然而离重逢的佳节尚远

[00:03:01] There's no way a 'phone call could express what's in my heart

[00:03:09] 没有别的办法 而电话又不能真正表达我的情感

[00:03:09] So this is just a song to say how greatful I am

[00:03:17] 唯有此歌才能略表

[00:03:17] For Mamma and my old man

[00:03:25] 我对双亲的无比感恩之心

[00:03:25] For Mamma and Dad

[00:03:30] 我对双亲的无比感恩之心
