歌词
"Yeah, I know sometimes
是的，我知道有些时候
Things may not always make sense to you right now
有些事你现在不会马上理解
But hey, what'd Daddy always tell you?
不过别担心，爸爸总告诉你什么？
Straighten up, little soldier!
挺起你的胸膛，小战士！
Stiffen up that upper lip!
抿住你的小嘴巴吧
What you cryin' about? You got me!"
你哭什么呢？你真是难倒我了！
海莉，我知道你很想妈妈
Hailie, I know you miss your mom
我也知道你同时牵挂着爸爸
And I know you miss your dad
当我离开的时候
When I'm gone
而我只是想尽力给你一种我没有过的生活
But I'm tryin' to give you the life that I never had
我知道你十分难过，即便当你露着甜美微笑，甚至欢笑
I can see you're sad, even when you smile, even when you laugh
可我都可以看到你深藏在眼里想要溢出的泪水
I can see it in your eyes, deep inside you wanna cry
是因为我不在而担心受怕吗
'Cause you're scared, I ain't there
你祈祷到着我能陪在你身边
Daddy's with you in your prayers
别再哭了，擦干你的泪水吧
No more crying, wipe them tears
爸爸在你身边的夜晚不再会有噩梦
Daddy's here, no more nightmares
我们共同度过这一切，并且我们一定可以做到的
We gon' pull together through it, we gon' do it
莱尼，叔叔像是疯了吗？
Lainie, Uncle's crazy, ain't he?
是的，不过你最好知道他是一直爱你的
Yeah, but he loves you, girl, and you better know it
我们活在这个世界上，随着地球旋转，又其中打转
当它急速旋转扭曲的时候，两个美丽的小姑娘
We're all we got in this world, when it spins, when it swirls
茫然的看起来呆萌可爱，我知道这正困惑着你们
When it whirls, when it twirls, two little beautiful girls
爸爸总是在忙碌，而妈妈也总是上新闻
Looking puzzled, in a daze, I know it's confusing you
我试着带你们远离这些，不过这似乎
Daddy's always on the move, Momma's always on the news
更事与愿违
I try to keep you sheltered from it, but somehow it seems
这所有的事情不停的发展着以至于爸爸不得不去面对
The harder that I try to do that, the more it backfires on me
爸爸不想让你知道，但你知道的正如爸爸知道的一样多
All the things growing up as Daddy that he had to see
我和你妈妈的计划并不是这样的
Daddy don't want you to see, but you see just as much as he did
但我们之间的关系变得如此糟糕，我再也看不见曾经
We did not plan it to be this way, your mother and me
我们过去年轻时的美好回忆了
But things have got so bad between us, I don't see us ever being
不过，事出必有因
Together ever again, like we used to be when we was teenagers
我想这不是注定的，只是存在着某些事情
But then, of course, everything always happens for a reason
我们没办法控制，我想这就是命吧
I guess it was never meant to be, but it's just something
不过别担心宝贝，安心睡吧
We have no control over, and that's what destiny is
也许某天当我们醒来的时候会发现这只是一场梦
But no more worries, rest your head and go to sleep
嘘~小宝贝，别哭了
Maybe one day we'll wake up and this'll all just be a dream
所以事情都会好起来的
坚强点抿住你的小嘴巴吧，小乖女，我告诉你
Now hush, little baby, don't you cry
爸爸就在这里陪你度过漫长的黑夜
Everything's gonna be alright
我们不知道妈妈在哪 也不知道她离开的原因
Stiffen that upper lip up, little lady, I told ya
我们打心底的担心她
Daddy's here to hold ya through the night
这或许有点过了，我的宝贝小女儿
I know Mommy's not here right now, and we don't know why
但我保证，妈妈会好起来的
We fear how we feel inside
呵呵，有件事也十分有趣
It may seem a little crazy, pretty baby
我记得上年当你爸爸没我有钱的时候
But I promise, Momma's gon' be alright
妈妈把圣诞礼物包起来藏在圣诞树下
(Heh, it's funny)
并且告诉你有些是我买的，这只是因为我没钱买给你
我从不会忘记那个我哭了一晚的圣诞夜
I remember back one year when Daddy had no money
你爸爸我就像是个乞丐，但爸爸看起来像是有工作的
Mommy wrapped the Christmas presents up and stuck 'em under the tree
但他的工作只能供你和妈妈的饭钱
And said some of 'em were from me, 'cause daddy couldn't buy 'em
在那会，我们每一个住过的房子
I'll never forget that Christmas, I sat up the whole night cryin'
要么是那些出售中会被破门抢劫的要么就是充满枪声的房子
'Cause Daddy felt like a bum—see, Daddy had a job
但你妈妈正省吃省用的用一个罐子给你存钱
But his job was to keep the food on the table for you and Mom
正要为你存满了一罐子，让你去上大学
And at the time, every house that we lived in
几乎存到一千美元的时候，一个混蛋破门而入抢走罐子
Either kept gettin' broken into and robbed or shot up on the block
我知道这有多伤妈妈的心
And your mom was saving money for you in a jar
所以的事情开始从这开始破裂
Tryin' to start a piggy bank for you, so you could go to college
妈妈和爸爸总是争吵个不停
Almost had a thousand dollars, 'til someone broke in and stole it
所以妈妈搬回到了查莫街公寓里的一个单人卧室里
And I know it hurt so bad it broke your momma's heart
而爸爸则是回到Novara的八英里街道
And it seemed like everything was just starting to fall apart
那时爸爸带着自己的CD去见Dr.Dre
Mom and Dad was arguing a lot
去见Dr.Dre。你和妈妈坐飞机来看我
So Momma moved back on to Chalmers in the flat, one bedroom apartment
但爸爸要去工作，你和妈妈只好暂时离开
And Dad moved back to the other side of 8 Mile on Novara
之后你便能开始在电视上看到爸爸
And that's when Daddy went to California with his CD
但妈妈并不喜欢这样
And met Dr. Dre, and flew you and Momma out to see me
你和莱尼太小了，还不能理解这些事
爸爸就像一个滚动的石头，妈妈却染上了恶习
But Daddy had to work, you and Momma had to leave me
这些发生的太快以至于我们都不能控制他
Then you started seeing Daddy on the TV
我只是很对不起，让你们做第一个目击这一切的人
And Momma didn't like it
可是我所做的一切只是想成为你的骄傲
And you and Lainie were too young to understand it
现在我就坐在空洞的房子里，回想这这一切
Papa was a rolling stone, Momma developed a habit
看着你儿时的照片，可这时候让我哽咽不停
And it all happened too fast for either one of us to grab it
看你现在都长得多大了
I'm just sorry you were there and had to witness it first hand
都像你姐姐一样了
'Cause all I ever wanted to do was just make you proud
哇.我也能猜到你是如此的漂亮了，爸爸还在这里
Now I'm sittin' in this empty house, just reminiscin'
莱尼.我告诉你，爸爸还在这里
Lookin' at your baby pictures, it just trips me out
我喜欢你和我说话的声音
To see how much you both have grown
像不像愉快的铃声呢
It's almost like you're sisters now
嘘，妈妈只是离开一小会
Wow, guess you pretty much are, and Daddy's still here
嘘，我的小宝贝，别哭了
Lainie, I'm talking to you too, Daddy's still here
所以事情都会好起来的
I like the sound of that, yeah
抿起你的小嘴巴吧，我的小乖女，我和你说
It's got a ring to it, don't it?
爸爸总会在这里陪你度过漫长的夜晚
Sshh, Momma's only gone for the moment
我们既不知道妈妈现在去哪也不知道他离开的原因
我们都打心底的担心她
Now hush, little baby, don't you cry
这时候有点过了，我的美丽小女儿
Everything's gonna be alright
但我向你保证，妈妈会好起来的
Stiffen that upper lip up, little lady, I told ya
如果你让我给你买一只嘲鸫
Daddy's here to hold ya through the night
我还给你全世界
I know Mommy's not here right now, and we don't know why
我还会给你买一枚钻戒，并为你献唱
We fear how we feel inside
为了你的笑颜做任何事
It may seem a little crazy, pretty baby
如果那种嘲鸫不再为你歌词，钻戒不再为你闪耀
But I promise, Momma's gon' be alright
我就会掐死这只嘲鸫
我还回到那个卖给我钻石的那家伙那里
And if you ask me to, Daddy's gonna buy you a mockingbird
让他吃下每一克拉的砖石，让他知道你老爸不是那么好惹的！
I'ma give you the world
I'ma buy a diamond ring for you, I'ma sing for you
I'll do anything for you to see you smile
And if that mockingbird don't sing and that ring don't shine
I'ma break that birdie's neck
I'll go back to the jeweler who sold it to ya
And make him eat every carat, don't f*ck with Dad! (ha ha)
