Fancy - Reba McEntire
Written by:Bobbie Gentry
I remember it all very well lookin' back
我还记得昔日发生的一切
It was the summer I turned eighteen
那一年盛夏 我刚满18岁
We lived in a one room rundown shack
我们在新奥尔良市的郊区
On the outskirts of New Orleans
一个狭小的房子里
We didn't have money for food or rent
我们没什么钱 付不起房租 甚至总是饿肚子
To say the least we were hard pressed
换句话说 那时我们的生活十分艰难
Then mama spent every last penny we had
但妈妈倾尽所有
To buy me a dancin' dress
为我买了一件舞会的裙子
Mama washed and combed and curled my hair
妈妈把我的头发洗干净后 为我梳好头
And she painted my eyes and lips
她还为我化了妆
Then I stepped into a satin
我认真的洗了个澡
Dancin' dress that had a split on
换上那件
The side clean up to my hip
美丽的裙子
It was red velvet trim and it fit me good
那是一件红色天鹅绒的裙子 它十分适合我
Standin' back from the lookin' glass
我站在镜子前 仔细打量着自己
There stood a woman where a half gown kid had stood
我看到镜子里那个稚气未脱的女人
She said here's your one chance fancy don't let me down
她说 机会只有一次 Fancy 别让我失望
She said here's your one chance fancy don't let me down
她说 机会只有一次 Fancy 别让我失望
Mama dabbed a little bit of perfume on my neck
妈妈在我的脖子上喷了点香水
And then she kissed my cheek
然后她亲吻了我的脸颊
Then I saw the tears wellin' up in her troubled eyes
然后我看到她泪流满面
As she started to speak
然后她开始和我谈心
She looked at our pitiful shack
她看着我们那可怜的棚屋
And then she looked at me and took a ragged
然后她又看着我
Breath
深吸一口气
She said your pa's run'd off and I'm real sick
她说 你的爸爸离开我们了 我的身体又不好
And the baby's gonna starve to death
你小时候差点饿死
She handed me a heart shaped locket that said
她递给我一个心形的小盒子
To thine own self be true
对我说 要忠于自己的心
And I shivered as I watched a roach crawl across
我曾看到蟑螂爬进我的高跟鞋
The toe of my high heel shoe
我吓得大喊大叫
It sounded like somebody else that was talkin'
我听到他问我
Askin' mama what do I do
女士 你怎么了
She said just be nice to the gentlemen fancy
她说 他很有绅士风度
They'll be nice to you
他们不会伤害你的
She said here's your one chance fancy don't let me down
她说 机会只有一次 Fancy 别让我失望
Here's your one chance fancy don't let me down
机会只有一次 Fancy 别让我失望
Lord forgive me for what I do but if you
主啊 原谅我的所作所为吧
Want out well it's up to you
即使你不愿意也无妨 这取决于你
Now don't let me down now your mama's gonna move
现在 不要让你的妈妈失望
You uptown
你的妈妈会给你鼓舞
Well that was the last time I saw my ma
这是我和妈妈最后的谈话
The night I left that rickety shack
那天晚上 我离开了小棚屋
The welfare people came and took the baby
福利社的人们前来带走了那个可怜的孩子
Mama died and I ain't been back
妈妈去世了 我再也没有回过那个小棚屋
But the wheels of fate had started to turn
命运的齿轮开始旋转
And for me there was no way out
而我却无路可走
When they long 'till I knew exactly
多年以后
What my mama'd been talkin' about
我才明白妈妈话中的深意
I knew what I had to do
我知道我该做什么
And I made myself this solemn vow
我为自己许下了神圣的誓言
That I's gonna be a lady someday
终有一天我会成为别人的妻子
Though I didn't know when or how
尽管我不知道会在何时何地
But I couldn't see spending the rest of my life
我甚至看不到自己的未来
With my head hung down in shame
我羞愧地低下头
You know I might have been born just plain white trash
你可能知道 我生来穷苦
But fancy was my name
但Fancy是我的名字
She said here's your one chance fancy don't let me
她说 机会只有一次 Fancy 别让我失望
Down
别让我失望
She said here's your one chance fancy don't let me
她说 机会只有一次 Fancy 别让我失望
Down
别让我失望
It wasn't long after a benevolent man
很快一个仁慈的人
Took me in off the street
带我离开了那条街
And one week later I was pourin' his tea
当我正在一个五星级酒店
In a five room hotel suite
给他倒茶
I charmed a king a congressman and an occasional aristocrat
我迷住了一位国会议员 一位贵族
Then I got me a Georgia mansion
然后我在乔治亚州有了属于自己的房子
In an legant New York townhouse flat
在纽约的一所公寓里
And I ain't done bad
我并没有做坏事
Now in this world there's a lot of self righteous
这个社会上有很多自以为是的人
Hiypocrits that would call me bad
十分偏执 他们也许会叫我坏女人
And criticize mama for turning me out
我不愿妈妈把我赶走
No matter how little we had
尽管我们一无所有
But though I ain't had to worry 'bout nothin'
但那时的我无忧无虑
For now on fifteen years
如今15年过去了
Well I can still hear the desperation in my poor
我似乎还能听到穷人那绝望的呐喊
Mama's voice ringin' in my ears
妈妈的声音仍回想在我的耳边
Here's your one chance fancy don't let me down
机会只有一次 Fancy 别让我失望
Here's your one chance fancy don't let me down
机会只有一次 Fancy 别让我失望
Lord forgive me for what I do but if you
主啊 原谅我的所作所为吧
Want out well it's up to you
即使你不愿意也无妨 这取决于你
Now don't let me down hon your mama's gonna move
现在 不要让我失望 你的妈妈要离开你了
You uptown
你的妈妈会给你鼓舞
Oh and I guess she did
我想 她已做到了
