I'm Going to Say It Now (Live Version)
Phil Ochs
I'm Going to Say It Now (Live Version) 歌词
哦,我只是个学生,先生
Oh I am just a student, sir
我只是想好好学习而已
And only want to learn
但是我真的很难学下去
But it's hard to read through the risin' smoke
因为你将那书本烧出了滚滚浓烟
Of the books that you like to burn
所以我会保证
So I'd like to make a promise
我也要起誓
And I'd like to make a vow
那就是当我有话要说的时候,先生
That when I've got something to say, sir
我是一定会说出来的
I'm gonna say it now
哦,你给我编号
Oh you've given me a number
接着就取下了我的名字
And you've taken off my name
去绕开这校园
To get around this campus
呵呦,你可就差一架飞机了
Why, you almost need a plane
你支持
And you're supporting Chang Kai-Shek
可我却支持
While I'm supporting Mao
所以如果我有话要说的时候,先生
So when I've got something to say, sir
我是一定会说出来的
I'm gonna say it now
我希望你能打定主意
I wish that you'd make up your mind
我希望你能做出选择
I wish that you'd decide
那就是我需要活得自由
That I should live as freely
就像外面的那些人一样
As those who live outside
因为我们也有权利
Cause we also are entitled
我们需要被赐予正义
To the rights to be endowed
那么如果我有话要说的时候,先生
And when I've got something to say, sir
我是一定会说出来的
I'm gonna say it now
哦,你想做我的父亲
Ooh, you'd like to be my father
你想做我的爸爸
You'd like to be my Dad
当我表现好的时候亲吻起我
And give me kisses when I'm good
当我表现不好的时候揍我的
And spank me when I'm bad
但是自从我离开我的父母以后
But since I've left my parents
我已经忘记如何礼貌的鞠个躬了
I've forgotten how to bow
所以如果我有话要说的时候,先生
So when I've got something to say, sir
我是一定会说出来的
I'm gonna say it now
事情也许会变得不同
And things they might be different
如果我独自在那生活
If I was here alone
但我已经交到了那么一两个朋友
But I've got a friend or two
那种不再会住回家的
Who no longer live at home
我们会尊重我们的长辈
And we'll respect our elders
只要他们能同意
Just as long as they allow
所以如果我有话要说的时候,先生
That when I've got something to say, sir
我是一定会说出来的
I'm gonna say it now
我读到过一些
I've read of other countries
在那些地方,学生们可以伸张自己的立场
Where the students take a stand
甚至他们都有权力推翻
Maybe even help to overthrow
那些地方的领导人
The leaders of the land
现在我不会跑太远去说话
Now I wouldn't go so far to say
因为我们还在念书呢
We're also learnin' how
但是当我有话要说的时候,先生
But when I've got something to say, sir
我是一定会说出来的
I'm gonna say it now
所以得说正确的话
So keep right on a-talkin'
并告诉我们该干些什么
And tell us what to do
如果没人听你说话
If nobody listens
我给你道歉
My apologies to you
我知道你年轻过
And I know that you were younger once
因为你现在真的老了
'cause you sure are older now
所以如果我有话要说的时候,先生
And when I've got something to say, sir
我是一定会说出来的
I'm gonna say it now
所以说,我只是个学生,先生
So I am just a student, sir
我只是想好好学习而已
And only want to learn
但是我真的很难学下去
But it's hard to read through the risin' smoke
因为你将那书本烧出了滚滚浓烟
Of the books that you like to burn
所以我会保证
So I'd like to make a promise
我也要起誓
And I'd like to make a vow
那就是当我有话要说的时候,先生
That when I've got something to say, sir
我是一定会说出来的
I'm gonna say it now
