Wood - Dan Seals

Wood - Dan Seals
以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
His old hands were brown
他苍老的手染着棕褐
From the varnish and the stain
是清漆与木渍的痕迹
And I had come to talk
而我带着年少迷惘
In my youth and in my pain
和满心苦楚前来倾诉
I told him that I was not
我说自己远未能成为
The man I want to be
理想中的模样
I waited to see what he would say
静候他给出答案
But he just kept on working
他却始终低头劳作
As if I wasn't there
仿佛我不曾存在
The sweat on his face
汗水浸透他的脸庞
And dust in his hair
木屑落满他的发间
He paused for a moment
他稍作停顿
When I'd been there for a while
当我驻足良久
He wiped his brow - I thought I saw him smile
他擦去汗水——我仿佛看见他微笑
He just said "Wood
他只说了句"木头"
From the earth beneath our feet there grows a tree
脚下沃土孕育参天树木
And we can take it shape it to what's it's meant to be
我们雕琢塑造 助其成就本真模样
The stronger the fiber the better for the good
纹理愈是坚韧 愈能成器
Son I believe that men are just like wood "
孩子 人如良木 需经琢磨
I handed him a timber
我递给他一段木材
And he laid it on the bench
他轻置于工作台上
I watched the love and care he took
我凝视他倾注的耐心
To measure every inch
细细丈量每寸时光
The work it got harder
活计变得愈发艰难
When he cut across the grain
当他逆着木纹劈砍
But he just put more shoulder to the plane
却只是将肩膀更用力压向刨板
I sat there beside him
我静坐在他身旁
As he carved out every line
看他雕琢每道纹路
He made a thing of beauty
将粗砺松木
From a rough 'ol piece of pine
化作惊艳的艺术
He seem to have the vision
他眼中始终闪着
Of what the end would be
不知结局将会如何
I felt as if some pieces had been taken out of me
仿佛我灵魂缺失了几块碎片
He just said "Wood
他只说了句"木头"
From the earth beneath our feet there grows a tree
脚下沃土孕育参天树木
And we can take it shape it to what's it's meant to be
我们雕琢塑造 助其成就本真模样
The stronger the fiber the better for the good
纹理愈是坚韧 愈能成器
Son I believe that men are just like wood "
孩子 人如良木 需经琢磨
I left a little taller
离开时我挺直了脊背
Wiser and free
更睿智 更自由
I learned the use of tools
我学会了使用工具
For the carpenter in me
唤醒内心的工匠
I don't have all the answers
虽非万事皆通
But one thing I have have found
但悟出一个真理
We are the choices that we make
我们就是自己的选择
When the chips are down wood
当木屑纷飞时 方能见真章
He said "The stronger the fiber the better for the good
他说："纤维越坚韧 越能成良材"
Son I believe that men are just like wood "
孩子 人如良木 需经琢磨
Just like wood
就像木头
