We Grew up a Little Bit (LP版) - Harry Chapin
以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
We got married early and just a little bit late
我们过早步入婚姻 却又略显迟疑
Baby came too early but some things just can't wait
孩子来得太仓促 但有些事不容等待
We were just beginning but it was very clear
生活才刚展开 结局却已清晰可辨
We grew up a little bit that year
那一年我们被迫长大成人
I caught on as a meter man you were caught at home
我当上抄表员时 你被困在方寸灶台
When I started night school you ended up alone
当我夜校苦读时 你独自守着空荡房间
But you had another baby while I had my career
你怀上二胎的时候 我正追逐事业巅峰
And we grew up a little bit we grew up a little bit
我们渐渐长大 一点点成熟
We grew up a little bit that year
那一年我们被迫长大成人
They put me in an office job a young man on the move
他们让我坐进办公室 年轻人在打拼
We bought a house in Shaker Heights you supervised the move
我们在谢克高地买了房 你负责搬家事宜
We were cashing checks you were changing children
我忙着签支票 你照顾着孩子
While I played engineer and we were growing ever faster every year
而我扮演着工程师 我们每年都过得越来越快
I got bored of kilowatts you were tired of kids
我厌倦了千瓦电力 你疲于照顾孩子
I started staying out at night and soon that's what you did
我开始彻夜不归 很快你也效仿
At parties we'd go separately you'd wiggle and I'd leer
派对上我们形同陌路 你摇曳生姿 我冷眼旁观
And we were growing faster we were growing ever faster
我们加速成长 越来越快的成长
We were growing ever faster every year
年复一年 我们渐行渐远
You learned to live in silence I learned to live in lies
你学会沉默以对 我擅长编织谎言
And we both ignored the empty spaces growing in our eyes
任空洞在彼此眼底蔓延成荒原
Your breath became a gin and tonic mine became a beer
你的呼吸浸满金汤力 我的叹息混着啤酒沫
And we grew up a little more last year
去年此时 我们又苍老了一些
Today at work they passed me by and promoted John instead
今日职场失意 约翰晋升而我被遗忘
I came home to find you'd wrecked the car I guess I lost my head
归家见你撞毁爱车 理智瞬间崩塌
Well I can't believe I hit you but the rage came on so strong
难以置信我竟动手 暴怒如潮水汹涌
Ah where did we go wrong
啊 我们究竟错在何方
As you sit there crying I wonder who you are
你垂泪而坐 我恍惚不识眼前人
The partner stranger friend and foe who's come with me this far
同行的陌客 敌友难辨相伴至今
We stand here in the ashes and I guess it is quite clear
废墟中相顾而立 事实已昭然若揭
We did not really grow too much each year
这些年我们从未真正成长
So you say we're going nowhere well I know that's where we've been
你说我们已无路可走 可那正是我们走过的路
Still I can't help wondering can we begin again
但我仍不禁想问 我们能否重新开始
I feel so full of questions curiosity and fear
心中充满疑惑 好奇与恐惧交织
But could we grow a little bit Could we grow a little bit
我们能否有所成长 能否有所改变
Can we grow a little bit this year
今年能否让爱重获新生
