艾米莉放学回到家
Emily comes home from school
紧紧攥住爸爸的手
Grabs onto her daddy's hand
他说：“宝贝，你怎么了？”
He says, "Baby girl, what's wrong with you?"
她轻叹着说："求你别让我再回到那地方。"
She says, "Please, don't make me go back there again."
她说："多想让这一切都停下。"
She said, "I wish there was some way to make them stop it."
于是他驱车直奔校长办公室
So he drives down to that principal's office
她轻声说
And says
我用心呵护的花朵 怎容他人轻易摧折
"I didn't bring her up so they could cut her down
我邀她来不是为了让她受冷落
I didn't bring her here so they could shut her out
我耗尽一生只为看她笑靥如花
I live my whole damn life to see that little girl's smile
为何泪水滑落你温柔的脸庞
So why are tears pouring down that sweet face?
她生来就不该这样。
She wasn't brought up that way."
艾米莉又晚归了家
Emily's home late again
他目送那男孩驾车远去
He sees that boy drive away
可这次感觉却不一样
Oh, but something's different this time
她总是沉默寡言
She doesn't have too much to say
她说：“他努力过，但有些事我绝不会做。”
She said, "He tried but there's just some things I won't do."
她含泪轻语："我怎忍心这样对你"
And through the tears she said, "I couldn't do that to you."
他说
And he said
我含辛茹苦将你养大 不是让他来糟蹋
"I didn't bring you up so he could wear you down
将那颗纯真的心 彻底翻个底朝天
Take that innocent heart and turn it inside out
我这一生所求 只为看你笑靥如花
I live my whole damn life to see my little girl's smile
别让任何人夺走这份爱
So don't let nobody take that away
你本不该如此长大。
You weren't brought up that way."
雨夜电话铃声响起 警官泰特低沉声音
The phone rings on a rainy night, says, "It's officer Tate"
他说：“先生，出了点意外”
He said, "Sir, there's been an accident
你最好立刻给我滚过来
You better come down here right away
醉驾的司机错过高架路
A drunken driver missed an overpass
艾米莉啊，她的身影正渐渐消逝。
And Emily, she's fading fast."
他说：“上帝啊，我养她长大不是为了看她被埋葬”
He says, "God, I didn't bring her up to watch them lay her down
那天她亲手埋葬母亲 我的心也碎成灰烬
Nearly killed me the day they put her own momma in the ground
唯有那女孩的笑容 让我熬过漫长黑夜
Only thing kept me alive was that little girl's smile
求你别带走这份爱
So please, don't take that away
今天要带走她可不容易
It won't be easy taking her today
她生来就不该这样。
She wasn't brought up that way."
他伫立在病床前
He stands over the hospital bed
艾米莉睁开双眼
Emily opens her eyes
