Well my daddy left home when I was three
三岁那年父亲离家远去
And he didn't leave much to ma and me
只留下我和妈妈相依为命
Just this ole guitar and an empty bottle of booze
除了一把旧吉他 还有空酒瓶
Now I don't blame him 'cause he run and hid
我不怪他选择逃避躲藏
But the meanest thing that he ever did
但他做过最残忍的事
Was before he left he went and named me sue
是在离开前给我取名苏
Well he musta thought that it was quite a joke
他一定觉得这是个玩笑
And it got a lot of laughs from lots a folks
惹得众人哄堂大笑
Seems I had to fight my whole life through
仿佛我这一生都在战斗不息
Some gal would giggle and I'd get red
女孩们窃笑 我就涨红了脸
And some guy'd laugh and I'd bust his head
有人敢嘲笑 我就砸烂他的头
I'll tell ya life ain't easy for a boy named sue
告诉你 叫苏的男孩活着真不容易
Well I grew up quick and I grew up mean
我迅速长大 心也变得狠厉
My fist got hard and my wits got keen
拳头变硬 头脑愈发敏锐
I roamed from town to town to hide my shame
流浪城镇之间 只为掩饰这份耻辱
But I made me a vow to the moon and stars
但我曾对明月繁星立下誓言
I'd search the H***y tonks and bars
我寻遍酒馆与酒吧
k**l that man that give me that awful name
誓要手刃赐我恶名之人
Well it was gatlinburg in mid July
七月的加特林堡热浪翻涌
And I'd just hit town and my throat was dry
初抵小镇时我喉间焦灼
I thought I'd stop and have myself a brew
驻足想痛饮一杯啤酒
At an old saloon on a street of mud
泥泞街道的老酒馆里
There at a table dealin' stud
赌桌旁发牌的那个
Sat the dirty mangey dog that named me sue
正是当年给我取名苏的肮脏老狗
Well I knew that snake was my own sweet dad
我认出那条毒蛇就是我亲爹
From a worn out picture that my mother had
从母亲珍藏的旧照片里
And I knew that scar on his cheek and his evil eye
他脸上的疤和凶恶眼神
He was big and bent and grey and old
佝偻苍老的庞大身躯
And I looked at him and my blood ran cold and I said
对视瞬间我血液凝固
My name is sue how do you do now you gonna die
我叫苏 受死吧老东西
But I hit him hard right between the eyes
我朝他眉心狠狠出拳
You are down but to my surprise
你倒下时我却愣在原地
Came up with a knife an' cut off a piece of my ear
掏出匕首割下我一片耳垂
I busted a chair right across his teeth
抡起椅子砸碎他满口牙齿
And we crashed through the wall and into the street
我们撞穿墙壁滚到巷弄里
Kickin' and a gougin' in the mud and the blood and the beer
在泥泞血泊与酒液中撕扯扭打
I tell ya I've fought tougher men
说实话我曾击败更凶狠的对手
But I really can't remember when
但此刻竟想不起何时何地
He kicked like a mule and he bit like a crocodile
他蹄如骡踹 牙若鳄噬
Well I heard him laugh and then I heard him cuss
先闻狂笑 再听咒骂
He went for his gun but I pulled mine first
他伸手摸枪 我却抢先拔枪相向
He stood there lookin' at me and I saw him smile
他凝视着我 忽然露出微笑
And he said son this world is rough
他说孩子 这世道残酷非常
And if a man's gonna make it he's gotta be tough
若想生存 必须炼就铁石心肠
And I know I wouldn't be there to help you along
我深知无法永远护你成长
So I gave you that name and I said goodbye
才给你这名字 然后转身离场
I knew you'd have to get tough or die
早料到你非强即亡
And it's that name that helped to make you strong
正是这名字铸就你的刚强
Yeah he said now you just fought one hell of a fight
他说你刚刚经历了一场恶战
And I know you hate me got the right
我知道你有权恨我入骨
To k**l me now and I wouldn't blame you if you do
此刻就算你取我性命 我也毫无怨言
But you oughta thank me before I die
但在临死前 你该对我说声谢谢
For the gravel in your guts and the spit in the eye
感谢我给你的铁石心肠 和直面屈辱的勇气
'Cause I'm the son of a b**ch that named you sue
因为那个给你取名苏的混蛋就是我
What could I do
我还能怎么办
What I got all choked up and threw down my gun
我哽咽着扔下了手中的枪
Called him my pa and he called me his son
我喊他爸爸 他唤我儿子
And I come away with a different point of view
此刻我终于理解了其中深意
And I think about him now and then
如今我时常会想起他
Every time I try and every time I win
每次拼搏 每次胜利时分
And if I ever have a son I think I'm gonna name him
若将来我有了儿子 也要给他取这个名字
