以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
Now friends if you'll just listen to me
朋友们 请听我一言
You'll get some good hard earned advice
让我分享来之不易的忠告
I don't aim to meddle in your business
并非要干涉你们的生活
I'm just trying to save you an awful price
只想帮你们避开惨痛代价
You see these teeth that I ain't got
看我这一口残缺的牙
And these knots on my bald head
还有光头上凸起的伤疤
I'll guaranty you boys I never get them
我敢打赌这些伤痕
There a lyin' home in bed
绝非安睡家中得来
Now take the smart aleck in any town
每个小镇都有个自以为是的小聪明
Of him folks want no part
人们对他避之不及
He acts like his head was only
他表现得好像脑袋生来
Made to hold his ears apart
就只为撑开两只耳朵
Now he might not like what I'm about to say
他可能不爱听我接下来要说的话
And my words might make him sore
我的忠告或许会刺痛他
But I'm just trying to be helpful
但我只是想要帮忙
Cause I been down that road before
因为我也曾走过那条弯路
Now to bully folks and play mean tricks
曾经欺凌弱小 耍弄心机
Was once my pride and joy
是我引以为豪的把戏
Till one day I was toted home
直到那天被抬回家门
And mama didn't know her little boy
连母亲都认不出她的孩子
My head was swelled up so dog gone big
膨胀的傲慢如气球般巨大
I couldn't get it through my front door
甚至无法通过自家门框
Now I ain't talkin' just to hear myself
如今我不再空谈自夸
Oh you see I been down that road before
因我早已走过这条歧路
A little fella about my size
有个和我差不多的小伙子
Got tired of bein' pushed about
厌倦了被人呼来喝去
So he went to work and when he got through
他奋发图强 最终功成时
What he'd knocked everyone of my teeth out
把我打得满地找牙
One time too many I rubbed him wrong
我一次次挑衅终于惹恼他
And he should end up the score
他决定彻底了结恩怨
Now that's what happens
这就是
When you get too big for your britches
狂妄自大者的下场
Oh I been down that road before
我曾走过那条弯路
Now when you get to thinking your really smart
当你自诩聪明绝顶时
Well there's somebody smarter than you
要知道天外有天
And no matter how much you boast and brag
无论你如何吹嘘炫耀
You can still learn a thing or two
总有新知待你领悟
I just go get you some treatments just like I've had
让你亲历我所经历的教训
And you won't hanker for more
便不会再痴心妄想
Cause I've really learned the meaning of living and loving
因我已参透生活与爱的真谛
Cause I've been down that road before
我曾走过那条坎坷路
Now the man that walks this rocky road
如今行走在这崎岖道上的人
Usually gets just what he deserves
终将得到应得的报应
Cause he's just a helpless servant
因他不过是卑微的奴仆
To a master that he servers
侍奉着他效忠的主人
Now I've learned to slow my temper down
如今我已学会收敛脾气
And not to pick no scraps no more
不再轻易与人争执
Boys its a lot easier on the head and the eyes
孩子 这样对身心都更轻松
Cause I've been down that road before
我曾走过那条坎坷路
Anytime before
在很久很久以前
