Momma Tried (Live)歌词完整版
Momma Tried (Live) - Merle Haggard
The first thing I remember knowing
我仍然记得一件很早的事
Was a lonesome whistle blowing
那就是有一个人在寂寞地吹口哨
And a young un's dream of growing up to ride;
并且幻想着长大以后能够闯荡一番
On a freight train leaving town
在一条运输货物的火车上,我正要离开我的家乡
Not knowing where I'm bound
却不知道我的目的地是何处
No-one could change my mind but Mama tried
世上没有人能改变我的想法,但妈妈却不断地在尝试
One and only rebel child
却是一个如此的叛逆小孩
From a family meek and mild:
我来自一个温和儒雅的家庭
My Mama seemed to know what lay in store
我的妈妈似乎知道我以后的下场会是怎样的
Despite all my Sunday learning
尽管所有的星期天我都要沉溺在学习中
Towards the bad I kept on turning
但是我都会不断地跟学习作反对,无恶不作
'Til Mama couldn't hold me anymore
直到妈妈再也不能拿我怎么样
And I turned twenty-one in prison doing life without parole
在我21岁的那年,我被关进了监狱,并且不能作假释
No-one could steer me right but Mama tried Mama tried
那时候没有人可以指导我,但妈妈却不断尝试,尝试着指引我走上正确的道路
Mama tried to raise me better but her pleading I denied
她总是尝试着把我教育得更好,在她为我辩护的时候,我却不断地为我的罪名否认着
That leaves only me to blame 'cos Mama tried
这一切只能怪我自己,因为妈妈已经尽力了
Dear old Daddy rest his soul
我亲爱的爸爸早已上天堂了
Left my Mom a heavy load;
留给我妈妈一个十分沉重的负担
She tried so very hard to fill his shoes
她总是花费心机把爸爸的鞋子补好
Working hours without rest
并且一直不停歇地工作着
Wanted me to have the best
为的只是想让我过得更好些
She tried to raise me right but I refused
她总是想要把我抚养得好好的,但我总是十分的叛逆
And I turned twenty-one in prison doing life without parole
在我21岁的那年,我被关进了监狱,并且不能作假释
No-one could steer me right but Mama tried Mama tried
那时候没有人可以指导我,但妈妈却不断尝试,尝试着指引我走上正确的道路
Mama tried to raise me better but her pleading I denied
她总是尝试着把我教育得更好,在她为我辩护的时候,我却不断地为我的罪名否认着
That leaves only me to blame 'cos Mama tried
这一切只能怪我自己,因为妈妈已经尽力了
