Tuff Kid
Shawn Colvin
Tuff Kid 歌詞
I was a tuff kid
曾經我是個厲害到飛天的小孩
Yeah I was a tuff kid
沒人敢質疑這個事實
It took a lot to get me on my knees
想讓我屈服,並非易事
I had a hard time
我曾經有一段艱難的時光
Yeah I had a hard time
那段時間像苦澀難嚥的酒
Just ask somebody if you dont believe me.
如果你不相信我的話,去問問那些過路人吧
我媽生下了我
My mama had me
但她並不了解我
But she didnt get me
我猜我在五歲那年就將她的心狠狠傷透
I guess I broke her at the age of 5
我爸打我
My daddy hit me
但他無法放棄我
But he couldnt quit me
我們互相展示感受生命熱度的方式
We showed each other how to feel alive
向每個在舊學校的人打招呼
Say hey everybody at the old school yard
帶著一腔熱情認真地去做生命中該做的事
Took it all the way and we took it hard
帶著一絲熱忱去做感覺超棒的事
Did a lot of things make you feel alright
就是那些可以快樂到通宵的事
Said the kind of things keep you up at night.
這裡曾經是個小城鎮
It was a small town
然而它並不適合我
And it didnt fit me
我卻無法為它改變什麼
There wasnt anything that I could do
所以我找到了我的吉他
So I found a guitar
將它帶著一起走上旅途
And I took it with me
就像那些我認識的酷斃小孩一樣
Just like every single kid I knew.
於是我向著每一個人問好
We say hey everybody at the old schoolyard
帶著一腔熱情認真地去做生命中該做的事
Took it all the way and we took it hard
帶著一絲熱忱去做感覺超棒的事
Did the kind of things make you feel alright
就是那些可以快樂到通宵的事
Said the kind of things keep you up at night.
