My Name Can't Be Mama
The Highwomen
My Name Can't Be Mama 歌词
Things are gettin' better
一切都在变好
But right now it's not looking great
但是这会儿情况好像不太对
My ceiling still is spinning
天花板还在转呀转
From a night that went too late
因为昨晚嗨太晚了
I used to sleep this off
以往我都会把宿醉睡过去
And let the shame just melt away
让羞耻随风飘散
But not for tiny feet in hallways
但是这次不行
Calling my name
我的小可爱在门廊唤我
It's not that I don't love you
并不是我不爱你
I wouldn't touch the hands of time
我不会拨动时间的指针
It's not that I don't long feel
但这却是我一直想做的
Your tiny hand in mine
我拉着你小小的手
I'm not a perfect woman, Lord
我不是个完美的女人,主啊
I don't wish it all away
我并不希望一直这样维持常态
My name can't be Mama today
今天不能叫我妈妈
Today I didn't listen
今天我没有听从
To the voice inside my head
我脑袋里的声音
I peeled out of the driveway
我毅然决然地离开
Left my family in bed
把家庭抛在脑后
Know it wouldn't be easier
即使我明白
To just quit the road and stay home
温室比外面的世界要舒服很多
I'd lose myself inside the halls
温室会让我失去自我
Unsatisfied and alone
只能感受到不满和孤独
Sometimes all I want
而我真正想要的
Is to run back to you at night
只是在夜晚奔向你
To rock you to sleep
与你相拥而眠
Keep the blues out of your eyes
为你驱散眼里的忧郁
I'm not that kind of woman
我不是那种
That throw it all away
把所有责任都抛下的女人
And my name can't be Mama today
但我今天不想做一个母亲
I drive my mother crazy
我把妈妈快逼疯了
Out here traveling the world
我喜欢满世界环游
Free-wheelin' in the city
在整座城市中自由地驰骋
I'm a solitary girl
我是一个潇洒的女孩
I'm living in the moment
热爱活在当下
Knowin' there might come a day
我知道终有一天我还是会回到母亲的身份
But my name can't be Mama today
但我今天并不想做一个母亲
It's not that I don't want to
并不是我不情愿
I just don't want to today
只不过今天我不想
I'm not a fan of mornings
我并不是清晨的信徒
And I love my chardonnay
而是热爱夏敦埃的酒鬼
No, I'm not saying never
我的意思不是说永远摆脱“母亲”
I won't wish it all away
我不希望永远这样
But my name can't be Mama today
但我只是今天并不想做一位母亲
My name can't be Mama today
不想成为母亲
