Fancy - Reba McEntire // Written by：Bobbie Gentry // I remember it all very well lookin' back 我还记得昔日发生的一切 It was the summer I turned eighteen 那一年盛夏 我刚满18岁 We lived in a one room rundown shack 我们在新奥尔良市的郊区 On the outskirts of New Orleans 一个狭小的房子里 We didn't have money for food or rent 我们没什么钱 付不起房租 甚至总是饿肚子 To say the least we were hard pressed 换句话说 那时我们的生活十分艰难 Then mama spent every last penny we had 但妈妈倾尽所有 To buy me a dancin' dress 为我买了一件舞会的裙子 Mama washed and combed and curled my hair 妈妈把我的头发洗干净后 为我梳好头 And she painted my eyes and lips 她还为我化了妆 Then I stepped into a satin 我认真的洗了个澡 Dancin' dress that had a split on 换上那件 The side clean up to my hip 美丽的裙子 It was red velvet trim and it fit me good 那是一件红色天鹅绒的裙子 它十分适合我 Standin' back from the lookin' glass 我站在镜子前 仔细打量着自己 There stood a woman where a half gown kid had stood 我看到镜子里那个稚气未脱的女人 She said here's your one chance fancy don't let me down 她说 机会只有一次 Fancy 别让我失望 She said here's your one chance fancy don't let me down 她说 机会只有一次 Fancy 别让我失望 Mama dabbed a little bit of perfume on my neck 妈妈在我的脖子上喷了点香水 And then she kissed my cheek 然后她亲吻了我的脸颊 Then I saw the tears wellin' up in her troubled eyes 然后我看到她泪流满面 As she started to speak 然后她开始和我谈心 She looked at our pitiful shack 她看着我们那可怜的棚屋 And then she looked at me and took a ragged 然后她又看着我 Breath 深吸一口气 She said your pa's run'd off and I'm real sick 她说 你的爸爸离开我们了 我的身体又不好 And the baby's gonna starve to death 你小时候差点饿死 She handed me a heart shaped locket that said 她递给我一个心形的小盒子 To thine own self be true 对我说 要忠于自己的心 And I shivered as I watched a roach crawl across 我曾看到蟑螂爬进我的高跟鞋 The toe of my high heel shoe 我吓得大喊大叫 It sounded like somebody else that was talkin' 我听到他问我 Askin' mama what do I do 女士 你怎么了 She said just be nice to the gentlemen fancy 她说 他很有绅士风度 They'll be nice to you 他们不会伤害你的 She said here's your one chance fancy don't let me down 她说 机会只有一次 Fancy 别让我失望 Here's your one chance fancy don't let me down 机会只有一次 Fancy 别让我失望 Lord forgive me for what I do but if you 主啊 原谅我的所作所为吧 Want out well it's up to you 即使你不愿意也无妨 这取决于你 Now don't let me down now your mama's gonna move 现在 不要让你的妈妈失望 You uptown 你的妈妈会给你鼓舞 Well that was the last time I saw my ma 这是我和妈妈最后的谈话 The night I left that rickety shack 那天晚上 我离开了小棚屋 The welfare people came and took the baby 福利社的人们前来带走了那个可怜的孩子 Mama died and I ain't been back 妈妈去世了 我再也没有回过那个小棚屋 But the wheels of fate had started to turn 命运的齿轮开始旋转 And for me there was no way out 而我却无路可走 When they long 'till I knew exactly 多年以后 What my mama'd been talkin' about 我才明白妈妈话中的深意 I knew what I had to do 我知道我该做什么 And I made myself this solemn vow 我为自己许下了神圣的誓言 That I's gonna be a lady someday 终有一天我会成为别人的妻子 Though I didn't know when or how 尽管我不知道会在何时何地 But I couldn't see spending the rest of my life 我甚至看不到自己的未来 With my head hung down in shame 我羞愧地低下头 You know I might have been born just plain white trash 你可能知道 我生来穷苦 But fancy was my name 但Fancy是我的名字 She said here's your one chance fancy don't let me 404
