Song For Our Daughter

Though they may want you to tread in their trail
儘管他們想讓你走上他們的老路
Only to see if the path they set fails
卻只是下看看他們為你鋪下的路是否會失敗
Though they may want you to take off your clothes
儘管他們想讓你脫去你的衣裳
Whatever they think that the accent exposed
無論他們會認為他們的話有所暴露
With your clothes on the floor
衣服凌亂散落在地上
Taking advice for some old balding bore
聽著禿頭老者的意見
Youll ask yourself, 'Did I want this at all?'
你質問自己是否真的想要的是這些呢
Do you remember what I said?
還記得我說過的話嗎
The book I left by your bed
我留在你床頭的那本書
The words that some survivor read
生者所讀出的那些文字
Lately Ive been thinking about our daughter growing old
我在想我們的女兒老的時候
All of the bullshit that she might be told
會想起她曾經所聽到的一堆廢話
Theres blood on the floor
地板上的點滴血跡
Maybe now youll believe her for sure
或許你還會相信她
She remembers what I said
她還記得我的話
The book I left by your bed
那本我留在你床頭的書
The words that some survivor read
生者所讀出的那些文字
Thought they may take you for all you had left
認為他們會帶走你所留下的
You wont be forgotten for what you had not done yet
沒做過的事情當然記不住
So you wished for a kiss from God
所以你希望獲得上帝賞賜的一個吻
And you mourned in your childishness
此刻你為你的年少無知而感到悲傷
Innocence gone but its not forgot
早已不在天真爛漫但卻永遠無法忘記
Youll get your way through it somehow
你能挺過去的
You remember what I said
你還記得我說過的話
The book you left by your bed
你自己留在床頭的那本書
The words that we have lived again
想起那些我們幾度活著的這一生的話
