Letter To Me Brad Paisley lyrics
Artist: Brad Paisley
Album: 5th Gear
Year: 2007
If I could write a letter to me
我想写封信给自己
And send it back in time to myself at 17
寄给十七岁的自己
First I'd prove it's me by saying look under your bed
我要证明一点
There's a Skoal can and a Playboy no one else would know you hid
没人在乎花花公子会去哪里
And then I'd say I know it's tough
我想说我知道它很强硬
When you break up after seven months
七个月后才打破它
And yeah I know you really liked her and it just don't seem fair
我知道你很喜欢她但这不公平
All I can say is pain like that is fast and it's rare
大家都承受了同样的痛苦
And oh you got so much going for you going right
你有如此多的事情
But I know at 17 it's hard to see past Friday night
我知道十七岁这个年纪不难猜到
She wasn't right for you
她不适合你
And still you feel like there's a knife sticking out of your back
你仍然感觉是有人背后捅你一刀
And you're wondering if you'll survive
你好奇是否你可以活下来
You'll make it through this and you'll see
你要搞清楚,让我们拭目以待
You're still around to write this letter to me
你还在给我写信
At the stop sign at Tomlinson and Eighth
在开始和结尾都有标记
Always stop completely don't just tap your breaks
停止,不要利用你的休息时间
And when you get a date with Bridgett make sure the tank is full
在你和布鲁格特约会时必须保证钱包是鼓鼓的
On second thought forget it that one turns out kinda cool
想象结果还是挺酷的
Each and every time you have a fight
每次你的战斗
Just assume you're wrong and dad is right
试着想想你错了而你爸爸是对的
And you really should thank Mrs Brinkman
你真的要谢谢布林克曼
She spent so much extra time
她花费很多时间
It's like she sees the diamond underneath
只有她能发现下面的钻石
And she's just polishin' you 'til you shine
她不停磨直至你发光
And oh you got so much going for you going right
你做的很多都是对的
But I know at 17 it's hard to see past Friday night
十七岁的年纪不会意识到这些
Tonight's the bonfire rally
今晚购货聚会
But you're staying home instead because if you fail Algebra
你却呆在家里因为你挂科了
Mom and dad will kill you dead
爸妈会杀了你
Trust me you'll squeak by and get a C
你会因为分数而挨打
And you're still around to write this letter to me
你仍然在给我写信
You've got so much up ahead
你需要做的太多
You'll make new friends
你会交到新的朋友
You should see your kids and wife
看看你的家人
And I'd end by saying have no fear
结尾时我想说不要恐惧
These are nowhere near the best years of your life
这些都是你生活中最美好的时光
I guess I'll see you in the mirror
我会看见镜子中的你
When you're a grown man
当你长大
P S go hug Aunt Rita every chance you can
你可以抓住每一次机会
And oh you got so much going for you going right
你身边错失了很多机会
But I know at 17 it's hard to see past Friday night
十七岁的年纪不会意识到这些
I wish you'd study Spanish
我希望你学西班牙语
I wish you'd take a typing class
我希望你进电脑打字速成班
I wish you wouldn't worry' let it be
我希望你别担心
I'd say have a little faith and you'll see
只需抱有信念就好
If I could write a letter to me
如果我可以写封信
To me
给自己
