Father and son
|
It’s not time to make a change
Just relax and take it easy
You’re still young that’s your fault
There’s so much you have to know
Find a girl settle down
If you want you can marry
Look at me I am old
But I’m happy
I was once like you are now
And I know that it’s not easy
To be calm when you’ve found something going on
But take your time think a lot
Think of everything you’ve got
For you will still be here tomorrow
But your dreams may not
How can I try to explain
When I do he turns away again
And it’s always been the same
Same old story
From the moment I could talk
I was ordered to listen
Now there’s a way and I know
That I have to go away
I know I have to go
All the times that I’ve cried
Keeping all the things I knew inside
That it’s hard but it’s harder to ignore it
If they were right I’d agree
But it’s them they know not me
Now there’s a way and I know
That I have to go away
I know I have to go

and take it slowly 慢慢去找出解决的办法
You're still young--that's your fault 你还是太年轻了,那是你的缺点
There's so much you have to go through 你还需要经历更多风雨的洗礼
Find a girl, settle down 找个女孩安定下来,不再居无定所
If you want, you can marry 如果你想,那么你可以享受婚姻的幸福
Look at me--I am old 看着我,我已垂垂老矣
But I'm happy 但我依然为你感到欣慰
All the times, that I've cried 多少次我曾独自泪流
Keeping all the things I knew inside 将这所有的一切深藏心底
And it's hard 这是很不容易的
But it's harder to ignore it 但更难的是要对它视而不见
If they were right--I'd agree 如果那是对的,我将支持你的决定
But it's them--they know 但你知道,那始终不是我的想法
Not me. Now there's a way, and I know 但现在我知道该怎么做了
That I have to go away 我会离开你的生活,让你自己去闯荡
I know, I have to go. 是的,我该走了……
