Farewell
J. Cole
Farewell 歌詞
告別
yeah, farewell,uh uhh uhh
hey 再見了
hey, farewell
Fayetteville的兄弟們
all my niggas farewell
再見了
fayettenam
瞧,有的人將他們的陰暗面公佈於眾
而有的人卻將其深藏內心
look, some niggas let there dirt out,
所以當人死之後這些秘密也隨之消散
some niggas keep it in 'em
成為一段永不為人知的歷史
so when a man dies all his secrets go with him
當我走了之後,我也會把我的往事一同埋葬
and fame a part of history no longer known
後人將怎樣訴說我的故事?
done did a lot of dirt I'll bury with me when i'm gone
他們會認為我是大公無私還是自私自利?
when my story's told, how will they tell it?
他們會將我描述成一個罪人還是聖者?
will they say I was a giver or will they say I was selfish
他們會不會一直將我當做一個勝利者,那樣的我將如何被描繪呢?
will they say I was a sinner or pretend I was a saint
不過我就知道一件事,我從來都不是一個半途而廢的人
will I go down as a winner, whats the picture they gon paint
他們是會玷污我的名聲敗壞我的人格?
wouldn't say that I'm a quitter thats one thing I know I aint aint
還是會無限美化我,人前人後的誇讚我
will they tarnish, will they taint?
他們會不會說我虛偽說我表裡不一
glorify me, overthink, say they know me, say I'm great
他們會不會背地裡說那些人前一套人後一套的謊話?
say I'm phoney, I was fake
我會被愛恨交織
say the things about me they never told me to my face
但我只是個怀揣夢想的人
I was loved I was hated
我是個騙子但我有過真誠,這些所有的對立面鑄就了我
just a nigga with a dream
當我死後,就讓他們討論吧
I'm a liar I was honest, I was all of these things
就讓他們說吧
when I'm gone let em talk
當我入土他們只需要知道我也只是個普通人就夠了
they discussing who I am
我也只是個普通的人...
when they bury me just know I was nothing but a man
這首歌就獻給那些努力攀爬天堂階梯的兄弟們
wasn't nothin' but a man
向他們告別
再見了
This for niggas climbin' heavens stairwell
這首歌獻給努力奮鬥的兄弟們
yeah, hey farewell
我為你祈禱
yeh, hey farewell
為你的籌碼加註
this for niggas climbin' heavens stairwell
再見了
I pray you farewell
I bid you farewell
如果我現在死了這就是我的遺囑
yeah, ey, farewell
將我立刻轉世回到Fayetteville
yeah, yeah
讓我重新享受那些年輕的日子
再體驗一次和朋友們插科打諢的時光
If I should die Lord this here is my will
這次我將把內心的魔鬼深埋在櫥櫃裡
reincarnate a nigga send me right back to the Ville
可現在的我全身心投入工作中,就像我將財富放入銀行(用put in這個短語來起到整句雙關,不太好翻譯)
let me relive my younger days just once again
每當我回想起我的童年眼前總是清晰無比
reenact my memories from every friend to every sin
那曾是我最快樂的時光
keeping demons buried in my closet
那時整天腦子裡想的都是他娘的怎麼才能打到炮
but yet I put in work like a deposit on my bank account
而現在想的逐漸變成了怎麼他麼才能掙到錢
my eyes lit while I think about my childhood now Im blanking out
我都做了這麼久的歌了,怎麼他媽才能讓我的歌上電台播放
those were truly my best days
OK 我就這麼一瞬間火了
the only thing I had to stress was how the hell to get laid
我猜是因為我的flow太屌了吧
gradually turn into me stressin' how the hell to get paid
但是至今我的都不忘初心
been making songs so long, now how the hell they get played
我現在有了一些業績,但我也不能保證我以後不走偏,所以提前為自己祈禱
ok, I'm blowing up quickly
向那些已經過世了的兄弟們敬一杯酒,但你們可別等我了
I guess the flow is sickly
因為面對死亡老子可不會乖乖就範
but yet I can't forget my past and hope it won't forget me
總有陳詞濫調說“生活是個女錶子”,可今天老子就要娶了這女錶子
got good grades but age can 't stop strays so pray for me
再籤上個婚前協議
pour liquor for my niggas but hey, don't wait for me
想當年咱們燥翻整個溜冰場
cause I 'm trying to cheat death, she had to bury my ass
在青年酒吧里唱歌打碟
you know the cliche 'lifes a bitch' well I'm gon marry that ass
給場子裡的其他人黑臉,給所有妞們放電
and sign a preinup
當時回到家裡就覺得已經見過了世間百態
think back to when we tore the skating rink up
還早呢小子,經過漫長的旅途才給老媽添置了小火爐(買新房)
rapping and we scrapping , we got older hit the teen club
曾幾何時咱們也是不敢想女人的純情少年
gave mean mugs to niggas but we winked to all the girls
但現在也深陷生活泥沼,當一切都結束時請帶我回到過去
then we went back to the crib thinking we had saw the World
我發誓我將永不改變
我發誓我將始終如一
no way, came a long way from having mom chauffer
這首歌就獻給那些努力攀爬天堂階梯的兄弟們
its hard to think these hoes at some point were so pure
向他們告別
but now we play the game, when its over send me back
再見了
I swear I'm not gon change a thing
這首歌獻給努力奮鬥的兄弟們
I swear I'm not gon change a thing
我為你祈禱
為你的籌碼加註
This for them niggas climbin' heavens stairwell
再見了
yeah, hey farewell
I pray you niggas farewell
this for niggas climbin' heavens stairwell
hey farewell, hey farewell
yeah, farewell
yeh
