《Mama Tried》歌词

[00:00:02] The first thing I remember knowing

[00:00:05] 我仍然记得一件很早以前的事

[00:00:05] Was a lonesome whistle blowing

[00:00:07] 有一个人在寂寞地吹口哨

[00:00:07] And a young un's dream of growing up to ride;

[00:00:13] 并且幻想着长大以后能够闯荡一番

[00:00:13] On a freight train leaving town

[00:00:15] 在一辆运输货物的火车上 我正要离开我的家乡

[00:00:15] Not knowing where I'm bound

[00:00:17] 却不知道我的目的地是何处

[00:00:17] No-one could change my mind but Mama tried

[00:00:22] 世上没有人能改变我的想法 但妈妈却不断地在尝试

[00:00:22] One and only rebel child

[00:00:24] 却是一个如此的叛逆小孩

[00:00:24] From a family meek and mild:

[00:00:27] 我来自一个温和儒雅的家庭

[00:00:27] My Mama seemed to know what lay in store

[00:00:31] 我的妈妈似乎知道我以后的下场会是怎样的

[00:00:31] Despite all my Sunday learning

[00:00:34] 尽管所有的星期天我都要沉溺在学习中

[00:00:34] Towards the bad I kept on turning

[00:00:36] 但是我都会不断地跟学习作对 无恶不作

[00:00:36] 'Til Mama couldn't hold me anymore

[00:00:41] 直到妈妈再也不能拿我怎么样

[00:00:41] And I turned twenty-one in prison

[00:00:43] 在我21岁的那年 我被关进了监狱

[00:00:43] Doing life without parole

[00:00:46] 并且不能作假释

[00:00:46] No-one could steer me right

[00:00:48] 那时候没有人可以指导我

[00:00:48] But Mama tried Mama tried

[00:00:50] 但妈妈却不断尝试 尝试着指引我走上正确的道路

[00:00:50] Mama tried to raise me better

[00:00:53] 她总是尝试着把我教育得更好

[00:00:53] But her pleading I denied

[00:00:56] 在她为我辩护的时候 我却不断地为我的罪名否认着

[00:00:56] That leaves only me to blame 'cos Mama tried

[00:01:21] 这一切只能怪我自己 因为妈妈已经尽力了

[00:01:21] Dear old Daddy rest his soul

[00:01:24] 我亲爱的爸爸早已上天堂了

[00:01:24] Left my Mom a heavy load;

[00:01:27] 留给我妈妈一个十分沉重的负担

[00:01:27] She tried so very hard to fill his shoes

[00:01:31] 她总是花费心机把爸爸的鞋子补好

[00:01:31] Working hours without rest

[00:01:34] 并且一直不停歇地工作着

[00:01:34] Wanted me to have the best

[00:01:36] 为的只是想让我过得更好些

[00:01:36] She tried to raise me right but I refused

[00:01:41] 她总是想要把我抚养得好好的 但我总是十分的叛逆

[00:01:41] And I turned twenty-one

[00:01:42] In prison doing life without parole

[00:01:46] 我被关进了监狱 并且不能作假释

[00:01:46] No-one could steer me right
