I remember it all very well looking' back
往事历历在目 回首依然清晰
It was the summer that I turned eighteen
那是我年满十八的盛夏光景
We lived in a one-room run down shack
我们蜗居在破败的单间木屋
On the outskirts of new orleans
新奥尔良郊外风雨飘零
We didn't have money for food or rent
穷得付不起房租和饭钱
To say the least we was hard-pressed
说真的已是山穷水尽
When momma spent every last penny we had
当妈妈花光最后积蓄
To buy me a dancing' dress
只为给我买件舞裙
Momma washed and combed and curled my hair
妈妈为我梳洗盘发
Then she painted my eyes and lips
描眉画唇精心装扮
Then I stepped into the satin dancing' dress
我穿上缎面舞裙
It had a split in the side clean up to my hips
高开衩直至腰间
It was red velvet-trimmed and it fit me good
红丝绒镶边正合身
And standing' back from the looking' glass
镜中回望的身影
Was a woman
已是个成熟女人
Where a half grown kid had stood
昔日稚嫩的少女已然蜕变
Here's your last chance fancy don't let me down
这是最后机会 芳西别让我失望
Here's your last chance fancy don't let me down
这是最后机会 芳西别让我失望
God forgive me for what I do
主啊请宽恕我的选择
But if you want out girl it's up to you
但若想逃离 女孩全看你自己
Now don't let me down new momma's gonna happy don't uptown
别让我失望 新妈妈会为你的上流生活欣喜
Know updown
要懂得审时度势
Don't updown
切莫自甘堕落
Momma dabbed a little bit of perfume
妈妈在我颈间轻点香水
On my neck and she kissed my cheek
又在我脸颊留下轻吻
Then I saw the tears welling up
我看见她含泪的双眼
In her troubled eyes as she started to speak
在她开口时盈满忧愁
She looked at our pitiful shack and then
她望向破败的小屋
She looked at me and took a ragged breath
又看向我 沉重叹息
Your pa's runned off and I'm real sick
你父亲出走 我病痛缠身
And the baby's gonna starve to death
小婴儿快要饿死家中
She handed me a heart-shaped locket that said
她递给我一枚心形挂坠 上面刻着
To thine own self be true
忠于自我
And I shivered as I watched a roach crawl across
我颤抖着看一只蟑螂爬过
The toe of my high-healed shoe
我高跟鞋的鞋尖
It sounded like somebody else was talking'
那声音仿佛来自别人
Askin' momma what do I do

That was the last time I saw my momma

When I left that rickety shack

Cause welfare people came and took the baby

Momma died and I ain't been back

But the wheels of fate had started to turn
但命运的齿轮已开始转动
And for me there was no other way out

With my head hung down in shame

For now on fifteen years
