以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
Last Sunday we got in the car and we drove
上个周日我们驱车启程
To the town you were raised in your boyhood home
驶向你童年成长的小镇故里
The trees were just turning
山脊上的树木正悄然换装
Up on the ridge
层林尽染
And this was your valley
这是你儿时的山谷
When you were a kid
承载着稚嫩年华
You showed me the railroad that your daddy worked on
你指给我看父亲曾工作的铁道
As we neared the old house where your granny lives on
当我们临近祖母独居的老宅
She's nearing ninety years now with her daughters by her side
她已年近九旬 女儿们常伴左右
Who tend the places in the heart where loneliness can hide
她们抚慰着心灵深处 那些孤独的角落
Raised by the women who are stronger than you know
被那些比你想象中更坚强的女性抚养长大
A patchwork quilt of memory only women could have sewn
记忆的拼布被子 只有女性能缝制
The threads were stitched by family hands protected from the moth
针线由家人的手缝制 免遭虫蛀
By your mother
是你的母亲
And her mother
和她的母亲
The weavers of your cloth
编织了你的生命之布
Your grandmother owned a gun in 1932
你祖母在1932年藏过一把枪
When times were bad just everywhere you said she used it too
当艰难岁月席卷四方 你说她也曾扣动扳机
And the life and times of everyone are traced inside their palms
每个人的生命轨迹 都镌刻在掌心纹路里
Her skin may be so weathered but her grip
她皮肤虽已布满风霜 但握力
Is still so strong
依然那么强劲
And I see your eyes belong to her and too
我看见你的眼眸遗传自她 还有
Your mama too
你母亲也是
A slice of virginia sky the clearest shade of blue
那是弗吉尼亚天空的碎片 最澄澈的蔚蓝
Raised by the women who are stronger than you know
被那些比你想象中更坚强的女性抚养长大
A patchwork quilt of memory only women could have sewn
记忆的拼布被子 只有女性能缝制
The threads were stitched by family hands protected from the moth
针线由家人的手缝制 免遭虫蛀
By your mother
是你的母亲
And her mother
和她的母亲
The weavers of your cloth
编织了你的生命之布
And a rich man you might never be they'd
或许你永远成不了富翁
Love you just the same
她们依然爱你如初
They've handed down so much to you besides your Christian name
她们传承给你的远不止这个教名
And the spoken word won't heal you like the
言语的慰藉怎及得上
Laying on of hands
她们抚触你时的温暖
Belonging to the ones who raised you to a man
那些将你养育成人的至亲手足
Raised by the women who are stronger than you know
被那些比你想象中更坚强的女性抚养长大
A patchwork quilt of memory only women could have sewn
记忆的拼布被子 只有女性能缝制
The threads were stitched by family hands protected from the moth
针线由家人的手缝制 免遭虫蛀
By your mother
是你的母亲
And her mother
和她的母亲
The weavers of your cloth
编织了你的生命之布
