Be As You Are

Virginia Woolf and poetry
读着弗吉尼亚·伍尔夫的诗
No one seemed to notice me
但似乎没有人会在意我
Being young was getting so old
年轻地活著反而让我疲倦不堪
Cheap beer and cigarettes
生活就只剩下廉价的啤酒和香烟
Life was like a movie set
人生就像一齣戏
And I seemed to be given no role
而我在其中只是配角一名
But in times of trouble
但我知道，当难关来临时
I can turn to my mother
我可以向妈妈求助
And I know that she gon’ understand
我知道她绝对会理解我的
So at age 18
于是在我十八岁那年
I cried to my mother
我向我妈妈哭诉
And she told me, “young man”
她告诉我：
“There are moments when you fall to the ground
‘傻孩子，有些时候你也许会摔倒在地，
But you are stronger than you feel you are now
但是你要记住你远比自己想象的强大。
You don’t always have to speak so loud, no
你不必总是故作坚强的，
Just be as you are
做回本来的你就好了。
Life is not always a comfortable ride
人生不会总是一帆风顺的，
Everybody’s got scars that they hide
其实每个人都有属于自己的伤痕，只是他们都藏起来了你才看不到而已，
And everybody plays the fool sometimes, yeah
而且每个人都有犯错误的时候啊
Just be as you are”
所以，做回本来的你就够了’
They played me on the radio
我的音乐成为大热，被人在电台上播出
And everything was changing, so
我的生活彻底改变了
I thought I was all the way grown
所以我想我这一路是有所成长的
But I can still remember in that cold November
但我难以忘记那天，那是寒冷的十一月里的一天
When I realized I’m all alone
我忽然意识到自己是多麽的孤独
But in times of trouble
但我知道，当我生活不如意的时候
I can turn to my mother
我可以向我妈妈诉苦
And I know that she gon’ understand
我知道她会听我诉说的
So at age 22
于是在我二十二岁那年
I cried to my mother
我向我妈妈哭诉
And she told me, “young man”
她告诉我：
“There are moments when you fall to the ground
‘傻孩子，有些时候你也许会摔倒在地，
But you are stronger than you feel you are now
但是你要记住你远比自己想象的强大。
You don’t always have to speak so loud, no
你不必的，你不必装作比其他人坚强的，
Just be as you are
做回本来的你就好了。
It doesn’t matter if you become some star
就算你是个明星你也不要害怕
Life is better when you open your heart
记住当你打开心胸，生命会变得更美好的
You don’t always have to act so hard, no
你不必的，你不必装作比其他人坚强的，
Just be as you are Just be as you are”
向别人展示本来的你就好了。‘
Ooh oh be as you are be as you are..
Ooh oh be as you are be as you are..
If I’m speaking truthfully
若我脱下面具
I’m not who I used to be
我就不再是受欢迎的那个’我‘
And I know some people might laugh
我知道有些人可能会嘲笑真实的我
‘Cause my music doesn’t sound the same
因为当我不再为迎合他人而活著时，我的音乐和
And my head’s no longer shaved
衣著造型会和人们所受待见的有出入
I’m worried if I’m on the right path
我担心我的决定是否正确
But in times of trouble
正当我思索著此事
I can turn to my mother
我想到也许我母亲可以给我意见
And I know that she gon’ understand
我知道她一定能给我答案的
So at age 26
于是在我二十六岁那年
I spoke to my mother
我去问我妈妈该怎麽办
And she told me, “young man”
她告诉我：
“There are moments when you fall to the ground
‘傻孩子，有些时候你也许会摔倒在地，
But you are stronger than you feel you are now
但是你要记住你远比自己想象的强大。
