歌词
Grampa was a preacher
爷爷是个传教士
And he led the singin', too
他也是领唱的
Grandma used to yodel
奶奶过去喜欢约德尔唱法
And tell us what to do
并教我们怎么唱
Grampa drove a limousine
爷爷有一辆豪华轿车
But just on Saturdays
但是只在周六才会开
And he'd tell the crying families
他会用耶稣安慰
About Jesus by the grave
在坟墓边的悲伤的家庭
他会一直面带微笑
And he was always smiling
用口哨吹着小曲
And whistlin' a tune
祖父他有着最慈祥和蔼的眼睛
And Grampa had the kindest eyes
特别美好的蓝色
Carolina Blues
我曾经认识一个女孩
Once I knew this girl whose
她的爷爷是一个百万富翁
Grampa was a millionaire
当他离去的时候
And when he kicked the bucket
她是唯一的继承人
She was the only heir
他把他拥有的所有东西留给了她
她做梦都想不到的
And he left her with everything
一卡车的钱
More than she could dream
和海边的城堡
Truckloads full of money
但他总是撒谎
With a castle by the sea
而且很自私
But he was always lying
所以他只给她留下了一句空话
And selfish as could be
和痛苦的回忆
So he left her with empty words
而我的祖父没有留下
And painful memories
这么多可以给我花的钱
我想他最后
Now Grampa didn't leave me
也许都没有那么多钱
Money I could spend
但我的祖父是个诚实的人
I guess that he didn't have
永远追寻真相
Much money in the end
祖父他有着最慈祥和蔼的眼睛
But my Grampa was an honest man
最好看的蓝色
Seeking after Truth
现在祖母有了一个女儿
And Grampa had the kindest eyes
她之后有了两个儿子
Carolina Blues
而那其中一个成为了我的父亲
当他和妈妈完事后
Now Grandma had a daughter
我想我大概是在这个地球上
And then she had two sons
最富有的人
And one became my father
因为有这么多留给了我
When he and Ma were done
比金钱更值钱的东西
And I might be the richest man
我的爸爸就像我的爷爷一样
To ever walk this earth
他总是穿一双破鞋
'Cause I was left with so much more
但他是我可以信任的人
Than money could be worth
他永远说实话
但是爸爸也不会给我留下
And my dad's just like my grampa
很多的钱让我花
He's wearing worn out shoes
我想他在最后也无法拥有
But he's a man that I can trust
那么多的钱
He always tells the truth
但是我的爸爸是个诚实的人
Now maybe Dad won't leave me
总是追寻真相
Money I can spend
爸爸他继承了祖父的眼睛
My guess is that he won't have
最美的蓝色的眼睛
Much money in the end
是我最不能忘怀的蓝色眼睛
现在我成为了一个父亲
But my father is an honest man
我有了三个可爱的女孩
Seeking after truth
一切都变得不一样了起来
And Daddy got my grandpa's eyes
自从她们来到这个世界以后
Carolina Blues
名誉和财富对我来说
Carolina Blues
是不切实际的空求
我宁愿去了解我女儿眼中的世界
Now I am a father
看着她们渐渐长大
I've got three little girls
我们都知道
And everything is different
时间飞逝
Since they came into the world
上帝指引着我成了一个男人
Fame and fortune seems to me
一个坚持到底的男人
The empty air's pursue
说到做到
I'd rather know my daughter's world
永远这样
And see them grow up too
我希望我可以给她们留下
留下一笔财富
We all know how time can
但你知道我是一个写歌的穷歌手
Slip away from you
所以这笔财富也仅是痴人说梦
So God help me to be a man
我能做到的也将是我的祖父和父亲一直做的
That always follow through
永远追寻真相成为一个诚实的人
I wanna do what I say
当我看向镜子的时候
I'll do
我可以看到那个美丽的蓝色眼睛
祖父，它让我想起了你
And I should hope I leave them
这蓝色的双眸
Money they can spend
我希望我的女儿们也拥有着这美丽的颜色
But you know that I am a song writer
你和爸爸还有我一样拥有的
So the money is in the wind
属于我们家族的美丽的蓝色
Like my daddy and grandpa
Seeking after truth
And when I look into the mirror
I see Carolina Blues
Grandpa, it makes me think of you
These Carolina Blues
You know I want my daughters got them too
Carolina
Carolina Blues
