歌词
Ouh ouh ouh ouh ouh
我妈妈唤醒了我爸爸
My mum woke my dad up
说：时候到了，该出发了
And said "it's time to leave"
然后他们跳进了那辆上了年纪的Caprice（雪佛兰）
So they jumped in the old Caprice
开进夜色里
And tore off into the night
那是7月的第4天
On the 4th of July
他们在夜里行驶的飞快
开的就像一个赛车手
They flew through the darkness
他们开进了Ottumwa（adam的家乡）
Driving like Jehu
赶在了太阳升起之前
And they rolled into Ottumwa
那是7月的第4天
Before the sun begun to rise
在Bob和Janice踱步的时候
On the 4th of July
Rachel在她来的路上
她悄悄从窗户那里偷看
And in walks Bob and Janice
希望能听到他外孙的第一次哭声
Rachel's on her way
那是7月的第4天
To peek in through the window
我妈妈看着窗外的烟火
Hoping to hear her grandson cry
那时她躺在病床上
On the 4th of July
在这一切结束之后
她第一次拥抱了我
My mother watched the fireworks
那是7月的第5天
From her hospital bed
我遗传了妈妈棕色的眼睛
And after it was all over
遗传了爸爸的安静
She held me for the first time
还有奶奶Rachel对于音乐的热爱
On the 5th of July
那个早上我终于来到这个世界
那是7月的第5天
I've got my mother’s brown eyes
在爱荷华州的深处
And my dad’s quiet way
一个特别隐秘的地方
And Grandma Rachel’s love for music
在Rathbun湖的岸边
The morning I arrived
我的父母带我回家
On the 5th of July
那是7月的第5天
那时是
Deeping in Iowa country
生命的开始
And a heavenly hideaway
是我生命的开始
On the shores of Lake Rathbun
那时是
My folks brought me home
生命的开始
On the 5th of July
是我生命的开始
一位教师和一位工程师
That was when (that was when)
将我带来这个世界
Life began (life began)
他们用全部的心来爱我
For me
从我睁开眼的那一天开始
That was when (that was when)
那是7月的第5天
Life began (life began)
那天是
For me
生命的开始
那天是我出生的日子
A teacher and a mechanic
那天是
Brought me into this world
生命的开始
They loved me with all their hearts since
那天是我的生日
The day I opened my eyes
On the 5th of July
That was when (that was when)
Life began (life began)
For me
That was when (that was when)
Life began (life began)
For me
