Daddy’s Cup - Drive By Truckers

Daddy's Cup - Drive By Truckers
以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
Before I could walk I had a wrench in my hand

I was my mama's little angel and my daddy's second chance

He went end over end the first year he went pro
他职业生涯的第一年就遭遇了翻车事故
Lost part of his eyesight and he couldn't race no more
失去了部分视力，再也无法继续赛车
He never lost his touch when he got underneath the hood
但他从未失去对汽车的热爱，依然精通维修
He knew how to make them run
他知道如何让它们重新驰骋
He knew one day he would see
他相信总有一天会看到
His name in victory lane and engraved on that cup
自己的名字刻在胜利的奖杯上
Just like all them other crazy fools with racing in their blood
就像那些血液里流淌着赛车激情的人一样
He would put me on his lap
他会让我坐在他的腿上
When he'd drive and I'd take the wheel
当他驾驶时，我会握住方向盘
He'd say what do you think about that son how does she feel
他会问：“儿子，你觉得怎么样？她感觉如何？”
You just wait till them little legs get long enough to reach the gas
你只需等到那双小脚长得够长，能够踩到油门
Once you put her on the floor one time there ain't no turning back
一旦你让她飞驰一次，就再也无法回头
Every Saturday he'd take me out to the garage
每个星期六，他都会带我去车库
He'd take an empty bucket and fill it full of engine parts
他会拿一个空桶，装满发动机零件
He's sit me down and pour em out in front of me on the floor
他会让我坐下，把它们倒在我面前的地板上
I'd have to tell him what each one was and what each one was for
我必须告诉他每个零件是什么，以及它们的用途
We'd jump into the car and go down to the race that night
我们会跳上车，直奔那晚的比赛
He'd tell me what each driver was doing wrong and what each one did right
他会告诉我每个车手的错误与正确
He could always pick the winner before they ever took a curve
他总能在车手转弯前就预测出胜者
3 might have the car but 43 has got the nerve
3号可能有车，但43号有胆量
Before I turned 18 daddy said now pretty soon
在我18岁前，爸爸说很快
You'll be old enough to drive but I'll leave it up to you
你就能开车了，但我把选择权交给你
I taught you all about it taught you everything I know
我教了你所有我知道的
You gotta have a car to do it
你需要一辆车才能做到
And you gotta work and buy your own
你必须努力工作，自己买车
The first one I bought was a mustang 2
我买的第一辆车是野马2型
Nobody kept 'em any longer than they kept a pair of shoes
没人会像留一双鞋那样久留它们
They started showing up at every used car lot in town
它们开始出现在镇上的每个二手车市场
A v-8 on a go-cart easy terms no money down
一辆V8引擎的卡丁车，分期付款，无需首付
Me and daddy and my uncle took her home and tore her down
我和爸爸还有叔叔把它带回家，拆了个遍
Checked her out real good cleaned her up and bored her out
仔细检查，清理干净，还进行了扩缸
Took out all the seats pulled the carpet off the floor
拆掉所有座椅，撕掉地板上的地毯
Knocked out all the glass and welded up the doors
打碎所有玻璃，焊上车门
The first time that I raced my qualifying was a shame
我第一次参加排位赛，成绩令人羞愧
I started out way in the back and came back about the same
我从最后一名出发，最终也差不多回到原位
I pulled her in the pit couldn't look my daddy in the eye
我开进维修区，不敢直视父亲的眼睛
He said if you quit now son it's gonna haunt you all your life
他说，儿子，如果你现在放弃，这会成为你一生的遗憾
It ain't about the money or even being 1
这不是为了钱，也不是为了成为第一
You gotta know when it's all over you did the best you could've done
你要知道，当一切结束时，你已经尽了全力
Knowing that it's in you and you never let it out
知道它在你心中，而你从未让它释放
Is worse than blowing any engine or any wreck you'll ever have
比任何引擎故障或车祸都更令人痛苦
Since then I've wrecked a bunch of cars and I've broke a bunch of bones
从那以后，我撞毁了许多车，也断了许多骨头
It's anybody's race out there and I've learned to race my own
赛场上谁都有可能赢，而我学会了为自己而战
I'd shove em in the wall and I'd hit em from behind
我会把他们逼到墙边，也会从后面撞击
I'd let them know that I was there
我会让他们知道我就在那里
I'd let them know that track was mine
我会让他们知道这条赛道属于我
It's been several years now since my daddy passed away
自从父亲去世，已经过去了好几年
But his picture's on my dash every time I go to race
每次比赛时，他的照片都放在我的仪表盘上
I lost more than I won but I ain't gonna give up
我输多赢少，但我绝不会放弃
Till they put me in the ground or daddy's name's on that cup
直到我入土为安，或父亲的名字刻在奖杯上
