So Afraid (Explicit) - Janelle Monáe (加奈儿·梦奈)
Written by:Nathaniel Irvin III/Janelle Monáe Robinson
All the kids run around playing free and fun
无忧无虑的孩子们在尽情嬉戏
While the dogs lap around the can
小狗追逐着易拉罐
Falling down climbing trees swimming in the river
孩子们爬到树上嬉戏 或是在水中畅游
No life jacket on their backs
他们没穿救生衣
Daughters sharpen their knives and they hunt for food
女孩子们正在磨刀 她们要搜寻食物
Others watch their children grow
人们就这样看着他们的孩子们渐渐长大
Mothers going to work
妈妈们去上班
And they shake the hands of a corporate tycoon's ghost
她们和合资企业的大亨打交道
And I'm afraid

Ah I'm so afraid

Ah what if I lose

Is what I think to myself

I'm fine in my shell
躲在我的壳里 我感到很安全
I'm afraid of it all afraid of loving you

I'm a gift and a curse to the wilderness
我是天赐的礼物 也是一个诅咒
When the leaves only turn to brown
当树叶变成褐色
The birds fly high and they wink at all of the grandmothers on the ground
当鸟儿高飞 并对大地母亲眨眼
Rain pours down in the village dens
当大雨倾盆而而下 淹没树洞
My cousins fetch for lunch
当我的表兄弟们去取午饭
While I sit in my room writing letters to my church and things and such
我坐在我的房间里给我的牧师写信 诸如此类的事情不停上演
'Cause I'm afraid

I'm afraid of it all afraid of loving you
我害怕爱情 只因害怕爱上你
Cousins all in the creek
我的表亲们仍在小溪中嬉戏
And the rain pours down the ghetto dancing yeah
大雨倾盆而下 贫民窟的人们尽情舞动
I'm so afraid
