What You Are - Jewel
以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
I'm driving around town
我驱车在城中漫无目的地巡游
Kinda bored with the windows rolled down
摇下车窗,任由百无聊赖的风吹进
See a girl on the bus stop bench
瞥见公交站的长椅上坐着个女孩
Dressed to draw attention
盛装打扮,只为博人眼球
Hoping everyone will stare
渴求着每一道投来的目光
If she don't stand out she thinks she'll disappear
若不能脱颖而出,她便觉自己正在消逝
Wish I could hold her tell her show her
愿能拥她入怀,告诉她,让她看见
What she wants is already there
她所渴求的一切,早已在身边
A star is a star
星辰自是星辰
It doesn't have to try to shine
它无须刻意便能闪耀
Water will fall
流水自会奔涌而下
A bird just knows how to fly
飞鸟生来便懂得翱翔
You don't have to tell a flower how to bloom
你无须教导花朵如何绽放
Or light how to fill up a room
亦如光芒本就能充盈四方
You already are what you are
你已是最好的模样
And what you are is beautiful
你本身的存在,便已足够美丽
Heard a story the other day
前些日子听闻了一段往事
Took place at the local VA
就发生在那所老兵医院里
A father talking to his dying son
一位老父正对着弥留之际的儿子低语
This was his conversation
那是他最后的声声叮咛
"It's not supposed to be like this
“本不该是这样的
You can't go first I can't handle it"
你不能先我而去,我承受不起”
The boy said "Dad now don't you cry
男孩说:“爸爸,请别为我哭泣
Remember when I was a child what you used to tell me when I'd ask why "
还记得儿时我追问缘由时,你是如何教导我的吗?”
(You'd say) Gravity is gravity
(你说过)重力自是重力
It doesn't try to pull you down
它并非有意将你拽入深渊
Stone is stone
岩石自是岩石
It can't help but hold its ground
它只会岿然不动地坚守原地
The wind just blows though you can't see
清风拂过,虽肉眼难见
It's everywhere like I'll always be
却无处不在,正如我会永远陪着你
You already are what you are
你本就是你
And what you are is strong enough
你内在的力量,已足够强大
Look in the mirror
凝视着镜中的自己
Now that's another story to tell
那又是另一段难言的故事
I give love to others
我对他人满怀仁爱
But I give myself hell
却对自己百般折磨
I'd have to tell myself
我必须对自己重复叮嘱
"In every scene there's a perfect plan"
“每一幕场景中,都有最完美的安排”
Everything I hoped to be
我曾期许成为的一切
I already am
如今已然实现
A flower is a flower
花朵自是花朵
It doesn't have to try to bloom
它无须费力便能绽放
And light is light
光明自是光明
Just knows how to fill a room
本能地照亮整间屋子
And dark is dark
黑暗自是黑暗
So the stars have a place to shine
如此星辰才有闪耀之所
The tide goes out
潮汐暂且退去
So it can come back another time
只为在下个时刻重返岸边
Goodbye makes a love so sweet
离别让爱意愈发甘甜
And love is love so it can teach us
爱本就是爱,它终会启迪我们
We already are what we are
我们本就是我们
And what we are is beautiful
我们本身的存在,便已足够美丽
And strong enough
足够强大
And good enough
足够完备
And bright enough
足够明亮
