Life I Know

Life I Know - India Arie
我所知道的生活 - India Arie
I have kept this secret
我一直对自己保守着这个秘密
From myself for far too long
守了太久了

而事实上我对自己的归属
The truth is I'm confused
感到困惑
about where I belong
我既不是母亲也不是妻子
I'm not a mother or a wife
我的生活是一团乱麻
And I'm living such a complicated life
没错，这就是我所知道的生活
And this is the life I know
其实我的生活也算充实

在某些很重要的方面
My life is full
那些核心
in some of the most important ways
当一天结束
the entity in the core
我锁上门关上灯
at the end of everyday
然后爬上床
I lock the door turn out the lights
一切都没事了

因为这就是我所知道的生活
And I climb in bed
我会打破玻璃杯
And it's all alright
会去丢垃圾
cuz this is the life I know
会去加油

在这个家里
I cut the grass
我一个人充当着两个角色
take out the trash
我不知道
and fill the gas
明天会带来什么
In this house
是的，我知道这并非寻常
I am the mom and the dad
但这就是我所知道的生活
What tomorrow brings
人们总有隐秘的伤痛
I do not know
人们总有软肋
yes I know it's unconventional
我们生来就是为了学习并懂得更多
But It's the life I know
我不打算孤零零地活着

这就是我所知道的生活
We all have a secret pain
没错，这就是我所知道的生活

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

而我仍旧在等待
We were born to learn more
等待属于我的那个人
and no I'm not meant to live alone
快四十年了
and this is the life I know
如果我足够幸运，那我还能活五十年

这就是我所知道的生活
Yes this is the life I know
有时候这生活令人痛苦不堪

但随着一首歌我便能走出伤痛
All my friends
将它化为一段可以诉说的往事
are having families of their own
这就是我所知道的生活
I'm still waiting for
没错，这就是我所知道的生活
the perfect one to come
这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
