Life I Know

Life I Know - India Arie
我所知道的生活- India Arie
I have kept this secret
我一直對自己保守著這個秘密
From myself for far too long
守了太久了

而事實上我對自己的歸屬
The truth is I'm confused
感到困惑
about where I belong
我既不是母親也不是妻子
I'm not a mother or a wife
我的生活是一團亂麻
And I'm living such a complicated life
沒錯，這就是我所知道的生活
And this is the life I know
其實我的生活也算充實

在某些很重要的方面
My life is full
那些核心
in some of the most important ways
當一天結束
the entity in the core
我鎖上門關上燈
at the end of everyday
然後爬上床
I lock the door turn out the lights
一切都沒事了

因為這就是我所知道的生活
And I climb in bed
我會打破玻璃杯
And it's all alright
會去丟垃圾
cuz this is the life I know
會去加油

在這個家裡
I cut the grass
我一個人充當著兩個角色
take out the trash
我不知道
and fill the gas
明天會帶來什麼
In this house
是的，我知道這並非尋常
I am the mom and the dad
但這就是我所知道的生活
What tomorrow brings
人們總有隱秘的傷痛
I do not know
人們總有軟肋
yes I know it's unconventional
我們生來就是為了學習並懂得更多
But It's the life I know
我不打算孤零零地活著

這就是我所知道的生活
We all have a secret pain
沒錯，這就是我所知道的生活

我所有的朋友
We all have a tender place
都有了他們自己的家庭

而我仍舊在等待
We were born to learn more
等待屬於我的那個人
and no I'm not meant to live alone
快四十年了
and this is the life I know
如果我足夠幸運，那我還能活五十年

這就是我所知道的生活
Yes this is the life I know
有時候這生活令人痛苦不堪

但隨著一首歌我便能走出傷痛
All my friends
將它化為一段可以訴說的往事
are having families of their own
這就是我所知道的生活
I'm still waiting for
沒錯，這就是我所知道的生活
the perfect one to come
這就是我所了解的生活
almost four decades in
if I'm blessed then I've got five more to go
And this is the Life I know

Sometime it hurts like hell
but I walk away with a song
and a story to tell
and this is the life I know

Yes this is the life I know

And this is the Life I know
