A Boy Named Sue歌词完整版
My daddy left home when I was three
我爸爸在我三岁的时候离开了我
And he didn't leave much to Ma and me
他什么也没留给妈妈和我
Just this old guitar and an empty bottle of booze
就一把破吉他和一空酒瓶
Now' I don't blame him cause he run and hid
我不怪他就这么离开了我们
But the meanest thing that he ever did
可他走之前做了件最缺德的事儿
Was before he left' he went and named me 'Sue '
他给我取了个名字叫苏
Well' he must o' thought that is was quite a joke
他以为这是个玩笑吧
And it got a lot of laughs from a' lots of folk'
所以听到的人都笑我
It seems I had to fight my whole life through
为这事我一生没少跟人打架
Some gal would giggle and I'd get red
有些人偷笑我都会发怒
And some guy'd laugh and I'd bust his head'
要是他们大笑我就会去打爆他们的头
I tell ya' life ain't easy for a boy named 'Sue '
我告诉你,对于一个叫苏的男孩来说,生活太不容易了
Well' I grew up quick and I grew up mean'
不过,告诉你,我还是活出来了,长大了
My fist got hard and my wits got keen'
打架打得一身铜头铁骨
I'd roam from town to town to hide my shame
不过我还是没自信,所以我四处游荡
But I made me a vow to the moon and stars
不过我对我妈和星空都起了誓
That I'd search the honky-tonks and bars
就算找遍天下
And k**l that man that give me that awful name
我也要找到那个该死的家伙,杀了他
Well' it was Gatlinburg in mid-July
七月中旬的一天在盖丁堡
And I just hit town and my throat was dry'
我刚回到家,还渴着呢
I thought I'd stop and have myself a brew
我准备到哪儿喝一杯
At an old saloon on a street of mud'
结果以破街头的破酒吧
There at a table' dealing stud'
那破桌子上在玩牌的
Sat the dirty' mangy dog that named me 'Sue '
坐着那个老不死的给我取名叫苏的脏狗
Well' I knew that snake was my own sweet dad
我知道那就是我亲爱的爸爸
From a worn-out picture that my mother'd had'
我看到过他一张老旧照片
And I knew that scar on his cheek and his evil eye
我认出了他脸上的刀疤,还有那邪恶的眼神
He was big and bent and gray and old'
他又老又驼又残
And I looked at him and my blood ran cold
我看着他,感觉血液都凉了下来
And I said: "My name is 'Sue ' how do you do Now you gonna die "
然后我说:我名字叫苏,你好吗?现在我要杀了你
Well' I hit him hard right between the eyes
我一拳打在他鼻梁骨上
And he went down but' to my surprise'
他被打得弯下腰去了,不过出乎我意料的是
Hee up with a knife and cut off a piece of my ear
他拿出一把刀来,割了我半边耳朵
But I busted a chair right across his teeth
然后我一把椅子砸他头上
And we crashed through the wall and into the street
然后我们扭打着撞破了墙撞倒街上去了
Kicking and a' gouging in the mud and the blood and the beer
在血和啤酒中打得不可开交
I tell ya' I've fought tougher men
老头,我告诉你,比这狠的架我打了多了
But I really can't remember when'
我都记不清
He kicked like a mule and he bit like a crocodile
他像驴一样踢我,像鳄鱼一样咬我
I heard him laugh and then I heard him cuss'
突然我听到他边骂边笑了
He went for his gun and I pulled mine first'
他拿出他的枪我也拿了我的
He stood there lookin' at me and I saw him smile
他站那儿看着我,我看到他笑了起来
And he said: "Son' this world is rough
然后他说,儿子,生活可不容易
And if a man's gonna make it' he's gotta be tough
一个男人想要混得开,他得要强悍
And I know I wouldn't be there to help ya along
我知道我不能在那儿陪你长大
So I give ya that name and I said good-bye
所以我给你取了那个名字然后就说再见了
I knew you'd have to get tough or die
我知道,你要么强悍得长大,要么被欺负死
And it's that name that helped to make you strong "
这个名字会让你更强大
He said: 'Now you just fought one hell of a fight
他说,你刚打了一场狠架
And I know you hate me' and you got the right
我知道你肯定恨我
To k**l me now' and I wouldn't blame you if you do
你现在就是杀了我,我也不怨你
But ya ought to thank me' before I die'
不过在我死之前,你得感谢我
For the gravel in ya guts and the spit in ya eye
就为了你的勇气和眼力那股狠劲
Cause I'm the son-of-a-b**ch that named you 'Sue' '
因为我就是那个给你取了苏这个名字的混蛋
I got all choked up and I threw down my gun
我无话可说,扔掉了我的枪
And I called him my pa' and he called me his son'
我叫他爸爸,他叫我儿子
And Ie away with a different point of view
然后我突然明白过来
And I think about him' now and then'
我经常想起他
Every time I try and every time I win'
每次我赢得时候
And if I ever have a son' I think I'm gonna name him
如果我有一天有一个儿子的话,我会给他取名
Bill or George Anything but sue I still hate that name
比尔或者乔治,绝对不会是苏,我还是讨厌那个名字
