Drive (For Daddy Gene)

歌词
Alan Jackson -Drive (For Daddy Gene)
It was painted red the stripe was white
红漆白条纹
It was eighteen feet from the bow to the stern light
船头到船尾,18英尺
Secondhand from a dealer in Atlanta
买自亚特兰大的一家二手商贩
I rode up with daddy when he went there to get her
那天和父亲一同接她回家
We put on a shine;put on a motor
装上新引擎,全身擦得锃亮
Built out of love made for the water
她凝结了爱,生来是为了启航
Ran her for years till the transom got rotten
转眼开了好多年,横梁都生了锈
A piece of my childhood that will never be forgotten
这童年的记忆我永远不会忘
It was just on old plywood boat
一艘旧船,合板的船身
With a ′75Johnson with electric choke
配有75年的Johnson发动机和电动气门(Johnson为舷外发动机品牌)
A young boy two hands on the wheel
一位少年,双手紧握船舵
I can ′t replace the way it made me feel
那份激动心情,无可替代
And I would turn her sharp
来几个急转弯
And I would make her whine
这船便发出抗议,吱吱作响
He ′d say "you can ′t beat the way an old wood boat rides"
父亲说:“老木船的性子急不得,要顺着来”
Just a little lake across the Alabama line
虽然只是阿拉巴马州边儿上的一块小湖
But I was king of the ocean
但我会变成驰骋海洋的王者
When daddy let me drive
在那父亲让我掌舵的时光
Just an old half ton shortbed ford
那是一辆福特老皮卡,短货舱、半吨重
My uncle bought new in 64
我叔叔在64年入手
Daddy got it right cause the engine was smoking
因为引擎冒烟了,交到父亲手上
A couple of burnt valves and he had it going
换几个烧坏的气门,车子再次复活
He let me drive her when we ′d haul off a load
我们拉货物时,父亲让我开车
Down a dirt strip where we ′d dump trash off of Thigpen Road
沿着那条平时倒垃圾的泥泞小路(Thigpen Road为Alan家乡的一条路的名字)
I ′d sit up in the seat and stretch my feet out to the pedals
我坐得笔直,伸脚踩下踏板
Smiling like a hero that just received his medal
开心得像一个刚被授予奖章的英雄
It was just an old handdown Ford
一辆“祖传”老福特
With a three-speed on the column and a dent in the door
装着三级手动挡拨杆,车门上有个凹痕
A young boy two hands on the wheel
一位少年,双手紧握方向盘
I can ′t replace the way it made me feel
那份激动心情,无可替代
And I would press that clutch
我踩下离合
And I would keep it right
换挡起步一气呵成
And he ′d say "a little slower son you ′re doing just fine"
父亲说:“别着急儿子,你开得不错”
Just a dirt rood with trash on each side
虽然只是两边堆着垃圾的泥巴路
But I was Mario Andretti
但我就是比肩马里奥的赛场传奇(马里奥·安德瑞堤是美国传奇赛车手,在美国流行文化中,常被用作速度的代名词)
When daddy let me drive
在那父亲让我开车的时光
I ′m grown up now three daughters of my own
现在我长大了,自己也有了三个女儿
I let them drive my old Jeep across the pasture at our home
让她们开开我的老吉普,驶过老家的那片牧场
Maybe one day they ′ll reach back in their file
也许某天她们打开回忆的匣子
And pull out that old memory
取出那尘封的记忆
And think of me and smile and say
回想起我并笑着说
It was just an old worn out Jeep
一辆饱经风霜的老吉普
Rusty old floorboard hot on my feet
生锈的破地板,热气朝脚上扑来
A young girl two hands on the wheel
一位少女,双手紧握着方向盘
I can ′t replace the way it made me feel
那份激动心情,无可替代
And he ′d say "turn it left and steer it right
父亲说:“往左转,往右打”
Straighten up girl you ′re doing just fine"
”直走丫头,你开得不错“
Just a little valley by the river where we ′d ride
虽然只是河边的一条小山谷
But I was high on a mountain
但我就像登上了高高的山巅
When daddy let me drive
在那父亲让我开车的时光
When daddy let me drive
在那父亲让我开车的时光
Oh he let me drive
It ′s just an old plywood boat
一艘旧船,合板的船身
With a ′75Johnson with electric choke
配有75年的Johnson发动机和电动气门
