Children of Children - Jason Isbell
以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
Pictures of the farm before us
泛黄照片里农场静立眼前
Old men in a gospel chorus
福音合唱中老者低吟如烟
Sepia and saddle horses
棕褐相片与马鞍上的流年
Easy on the reins
缰绳轻挽 时光缓行
81 a motor in your
81年引擎声犹在耳畔
Mama's 17 again
母亲重回十七岁的容颜
She's squinting at the dusty wind
她眯眼望向风沙弥漫的天边
The anger of the plains
平原上蔓延的愤懑
You and I were almost nothing
你我渺小如尘
Pray to God that God was bluffing
向神明祈祷 愿那只是虚张声势
17 ain't old enough to reason with the pain
十七岁的年纪 怎堪与痛苦讲理
How could we expect to stay in love
当两人都不曾懂得
When neither knew the meaning
神圣与亵渎的界限
Of the difference of sacred and profane
又如何指望爱能延续
I was riding on my mother's hip
我曾蜷缩在母亲臂弯
She was shorter than the corn
她比玉米秆还要娇小
All the years I took from her
我出生时就带走她多少年华
Just by being born
仅仅因我降临人世
Didn't mean to break the cycle
并非有意打破这循环
At 17 I went by Michael
十七岁那年我化名迈克尔
No one ever called ME by my own name anyway
从来没人用本名称呼过我
Half full generations
半满的世代传承
Living all these expectations
活在重重期望之中
Giving way to one late to have a baby on the way
迟来的生命悄然孕育
You were riding on your mother's hip
你曾依偎在母亲臂弯
She was shorter than the corn
她比玉米秆还要娇小
All the years you took from her
那些年你从她身上汲取的岁月
Just by being born
仅仅因你降临人世
