Boys In The Street

When I was younger
年少時候
My daddy told me I would never
我爸爸就說我太平平無奇
Never amount to nothing special
絕不會有什麼大成就
He'd come at me from every angle
他把我貶低得體無完膚
He'd say
他會說
You're the last thing I wanted, the last thing I need
「我最不期待你最不需要的也是你
How am I gonna answer when my friends tell me
我怎麼有臉回答要是朋友跟我說
My son was kissing boys in the street
我兒子在街上親了男孩
My son was kissing boys in the street
我兒子光天化日之下和男孩攪在一起」

He tried to change me
他試圖改變我性向
Say I'm embarrassing my country
說我讓國家蒙羞難堪
How could I do this to my family
指責我怎能這樣對待家人
Do I wanna grow up being lonely
問我是不是想成長路上一個人走
He'd say
他會說
We've worked for our money, we put you in school
「我們辛苦工作掙錢我們養育你送你上學
Is this how you repay us? Do you think this is cool?
你就這麼回報我們？你覺得這孝順嗎？
My son, stop kissing boys in the street
我的兒子別在街上親男孩了
My son, stop kissing boys in the street
我的兒子別在外頭和男孩熱吻」

Now that I'm older
如今我長大了
My daddy's heart's a little warmer
我爸爸對我的態度有些回暖
But he still won't hold me like my brother
但他仍不會像我哥哥那樣毫無顧忌地擁抱我
And he still won't kiss me like my mother
也還是不會像我媽媽那樣親密無間地親吻我
He'd say
他會說
You're a part of this family, I made you myself
「你是這個家的一份子我一手生下了你
But the way that you act isn't good for your health
但是你的那些叛逆對你的身心健康實在沒好處
My son, stop kissing boys in the street
我的兒子別在街上親男孩了
My son, stop kissing boys in the street
我的兒子別在外頭和男孩熱吻」

My daddy's dying
我爸爸快要離開人世
And he's finally realized I'm not lying
他終於意識到我沒有說謊
We sit in silence but we're smiling
我們並排坐著相顧無言相視而笑
Because for once we are not fighting
因為這次我們不再大動干戈
He'd say
他會說
There was no way of knowing 'cause all I was taught
「我沒有辦法理解因為我的認知裡
Is men only love women, but now I'm not sure
男人只愛女人但現在我不確定了
My son, keep kissing boys in the street
我的兒子就按照你自己的心意
My son, keep kissing boys in the street
我的兒子繼續和男孩在街頭熱吻吧
When I'm gone, keep kissing boys in the street
就算我不在了也繼續和男孩街頭熱吻吧」
