Something To Be Proud Of歌词完整版
Something To Be Proud Of - Montgomery Gentry
There's a story that my daddy tells religiously
我的爸爸认真地给我讲了一个故事
Like clockwork every time he sees an opening
他的话每一次都差不多
In a conversation about the way things used to be
他和我讲述着过去的生活
Well I'd just roll my eyes and make a bee-line for the door
可我只是不屑地看看他 想飞快地跑出门
But I'd always wind up starry-eyed cross-legged on the floor
但是听着故事的我总是被吸引住 眼眶湿润 席地而坐
Hanging on to every word
认真听着每个字
Man the things I heard
孩子 那是我的故事
It was harder times and longer days
那是关于更艰难的时刻和更悠久的时光
Five miles to school uphill both ways
五英里的上学路 还要翻山越岭
We were cane switch raised and dirt floor poor
我们一无所有
'Course that was back before the war
战争开始了
Yeah your uncle and I made quite a pair
是的 我和你的叔叔一起上了战场
Flying F-15's through hostile air
开着F15飞机 穿过敌方的领空
He went down but they missed me by a hair
他遇难了 但是我侥幸活了下来
He'd always stop right there and say
说到这 他总是停下来 然后说
That's something to be proud of
你总有值得骄傲的地方
That's a life you can hang your hat on
你总会有赖以生存的东西
That's a chin held high as the tears fall down
当眼泪流下的时候 下巴应该高高抬起
A gut sucked in a chest stuck out
你应该抬头挺胸
Like a small town flag a-flyin'
像小镇的旗帜一样飘扬
Or a newborn baby cryin'
像新生的婴儿一样啼哭
In the arms of the woman that you love
你有爱你的女人为你张开怀抱
That's something to be proud of
你应该为此感到骄傲
Son graduatin' college that was mama's dream
儿子 你大学毕业了 那也是你妈妈的梦想
But I was on my way to anywhere else when I turned 18
但是在我18岁的时候 我正随心所欲地在社会上闯荡
Cuz when you gotta fast car you think you've got everything
因为当你拥有了豪车 就像拥有了一切
I learned quick those GTO's don't run on faith
我很快知道了 飞车党是没有信仰的
I ended up broken down in some town north of L A
于是我在洛杉矶北部的一个小镇安定了下来
Working maximum hours for minimum wage
操着卖白粉的心 却拿着买白菜的薪水
Well I fell in love next thing I know
后来我和一个姑娘相爱了
The babies came the car got sold
然后有了孩子 车也卖掉了
I sure do miss that old hot rod
我确实很想念那些开着车狂飙的日子
But you sure save gas in them foreign jobs
但你为了生活不得不妥协
Dad I wonder if I ever let you down
爸爸 我不知道自己有没有让你失望
If you're ashamed how I turned out
你对我现在的境况感到羞耻吗
Well he lowered his voice then he raised his brow
但是爸爸压低了声音 扬起了眉毛
Said lemme tell ya right now
他说 那么我现在就告诉你
That's something to be proud of
我为你感到骄傲
That's a life you can hang your hat on
你自食其力
You don't need to make a million
你不需要挣大钱
Just be thankful to be workin'
只需感恩上帝让你有事可做
If you're doing what you're able
如果你在做着力所能及的事情
And putting food there on the table
这件事情为你挣来维持生命的食物
And providing for the family that you love
为你养活你爱的家人
That's something to be proud of
你就是值得骄傲的
And if all you ever really do is the best you can
如果你一直竭尽所能
Well you did it man
你就成功了 孩子
That's something to be proud of
那是值得你骄傲的事
That's a life you can hang your hat on
你自食其力
That's a chin held high as the tears fall down
当眼泪流下的时候 下巴应该高高抬起
A gut sucked in a chest stuck out
你应该抬头挺胸
Like a small town flag a-flyin'
像小镇的旗帜一样飘扬
Or a newborn baby cryin'
像新生的婴儿一样啼哭
In the arms of the woman that you love
