A Tale by Quincy

歌曲歌詞

作詞 : Jeff Gitty/Quincy Jones/Abel Tesfaye/Daniel Lopatin

作曲 : Jeff Gitty/Quincy Jones/Abel Tesfaye/Daniel Lopatin

Looking back now, I didn't know what it was supposed to be

如今回想起來往昔該何如已是惘然

And it's like raising kids, man

宛如撫養孩童

If you weren't raised, they don't know how to raise, you know?

若你未褪去稚氣他們亦不知如何撫養孩童知否

I just did the best that I could with them because they know ****in' well I love them

我只是盡我所能與他們同在因為他們深知我沉甸甸的愛

But I didn't do the best I could — I didn't know what the **** I was doing — I didn't

但我沒有盡我所能——我不知過去的自己在做些什麼——我沒有盡全力

I will never forget watching my mother get put in a straightjacket and taken out of my home when I was only seven years old

我永遠不會忘記在我七歲時看著媽媽被束縛著帶出家門

She was diagnosed with Dementia praecox and put in a mental institution leaving my daddy alone with me and my little brother Lloyd

她被診斷出患有老年痴呆並被送進精神病院讓我爸爸與我和弟弟勞埃德相依為命

I later had an evil stepmother who further cemented the idea that I didn't need a mother

後來我那邪惡的繼母進一步鞏固了我不需要母親的想法

Growing up without one had long lasting impressions I didn't fully understand until much later in life

在無人陪伴的成長旅途中直到晚年我才完全理解往昔種種
