Mother's Day Card - David Roth
以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
I always have a hard time picking out a card for Mother
总是难以挑选一张送给母亲的贺卡
When I'm browsing in the Hallmark store I haven't got a clue
在贺曼商店里徘徊时 我毫无头绪
She doesn't like my taste in clothes or who I choose for lovers
她不认同我的穿衣风格 也不喜欢我选择的爱人
I don't imagine many mothers do
我想大多数母亲都是如此
But a difference of opinion never stopped this world from turning
但观点分歧从未阻止世界转动
Even though we've had our share I wish that time would ease this strain
尽管我们有过争执 但愿时间能缓解这份紧张
So I'm choosing to remember how for her a single mother
所以我选择记住 作为单亲母亲的她
Life was often filled with struggle and with pain
生活常常充满挣扎与艰辛
My mother was a singer she was beautiful and full of life
母亲曾是歌者 明媚动人 风华正茂
She'd tuck me in with "Que Sera Sera" when I was just a kid
儿时她总轻唱《世事无常》伴我入眠
If I become a dad one day I'll put my own to bed that way
若有朝成为人父 我也将这般哄睡孩儿
I'll sing to them the way my mother did
如同母亲当年对我吟唱那般
I finally left the house when I was old enough for college
成年后终于离家 踏上求学之路
She helped me buy my Buick and we drove it down to school
她帮我买下别克车 一路相送抵校
The thermostat was shot we overheated had to stop
温控器突然故障 引擎过热被迫停驻
And we just sat there in the silence 'til the engine cooled
我们静坐无言 等待灼热渐渐平息
I remember that I couldn't wait to get off of that interstate
记得当年迫不及待驶离那条州际公路
We turned the Buick over and got going on our way
我们调转别克车头 朝着远方启程
She must have felt so all alone to see her youngest leaving home
她定是满心寂寥 看着幼子离家远行
The little boy she thought would be the president one day
那个她曾以为会成为总统的小男孩
My mother was a singer she was radiant and full of hope
母亲曾是歌者 光彩熠熠满怀希望
She'd tuck me in with "Que Sera Sera" when I was just a kid
儿时她总轻唱《世事无常》伴我入眠
If I become a Dad one day I'll put my own to bed that way
若有一天我成为父亲 也要这般哄孩子入睡
I'll sing to them the way my mother did
如同母亲当年对我吟唱那般
So now we have our weekly call where mostly talk is mostly small
如今我们每周通话 话题总是平淡日常
Sometimes she thinks her kids still blame her for things that didn't go so good
有时她觉得子女仍在责怪 那些不如意的过往
But I'll rewrite this greeting card "I know your life was very hard
但我要重写这张贺卡 "我懂你人生充满艰难
I also know you did the very best you could "
更明白你已竭尽所能做到最好"
I've tried to say those words to her but the hurt goes deep and back so far
我曾试着对她诉说 但伤痛太深积压太久
A little girl in Jersey and a childhood gone wrong
新泽西的小女孩 错失了纯真童年
She gave up singing years ago but now and then a glimmer shows
她已多年不再歌唱 但偶尔仍会闪现光芒
Her little man has taken up her song
她的小男孩接过了她的歌谣
My mother was a singer she was delicate and full of dreams
我的母亲曾是歌者 温柔细腻满怀梦想
She'd tuck me in with "Que Sera Sera" when I was just a kid
儿时她总轻唱《世事无常》伴我入眠
If I become a dad one day I'll put my own to bed that way
若有朝成为人父 我也将这般哄睡孩儿
I'll sing to them the way my mother did
如同母亲当年对我吟唱那般
