Won't You Concede - Kevin Rowe
I have just turned twelve years old
我最近刚满12岁了
I'm trying to write a song for school
很想为学校写首歌
And I better practice hard today
最好现在就抓紧练习
If I'm gonna be a rock'n'roll star some day
说不定某天我就成了摇滚明星呢
My teachers never knew how to take my plans
老师们却从不考虑我的想法
But that's alright cause they could never understand
没关系 反正他们也不会明白
They treat you like you're crazy and so
他们只是觉得我疯了
They just stand with a grin
只会站在一旁嘲笑
And they won't let you in
阻止我完成梦想
Cause "you're strange and absurd"
你真是荒谬又可笑
And "you just don't fit in"
你不适合做音乐
Oh please won't you concede
拜托 难道这样就想让我退步吗
I'm only a boy trying to succeed
我只是个渴望成功的男孩啊
There's people all around me
周围的人都在忙碌着
I've got nothing but a microphone
而我除了麦克风就一无所有
I know it's not the usual job but
我知道这并非是一般的工作
It's the only thing I've ever known
可我唯一会的就是音乐啊
I tried my best to get on with an ordinary life
我也试过继续过这种普通的生活
But never excelled in a 'nine-till-five'
但我无法满足于这种朝九晚五的生活
My part time job thinks I'm crazy I know
我的兼职老板也觉得我疯了 我也懂
Cause their jokes are on me
他们都在笑话我
Cause they don't understand
他们永远都不会明白
What it's like to have plans
拥有自己的梦想是什么滋味
And work as hard as you can
他们也不会明白 为了梦想竭尽全力是什么滋味
Oh please won't you concede
拜托 难道我会这样放弃吗
I'm only a man trying to succeed
我只是个渴望成功的男人啊
I'm lifting my head up high
我也想抬头挺胸去面对
But this world keeps pulling my shoulders down
可我的肩膀总被世俗压迫
I keep trying to wear a smile
我也想微笑着面对生活
Though I'm sure the world sees it upside down
虽然这世界已经是非颠倒了
They pull and drag it to the ground
把我们付出的所有都付之一炬
And they leave you feeling thrown around
让你感觉这世界没有你的容身之地
Please won't you concede
但是无论怎样 请不要认输好吗
