Fast Car - Tracy Chapman (特蕾西·查普曼)
Lyrics by：Tracy Chapm
Composed by：Tracy Chapman
You got a fast car
你有辆很棒的车
I want a ticket to anywhere
而我梦想能去任何地方
Maybe we make a deal
我们可以就此达成一致
Maybe together we can get somewhere
结伴而行 浪迹天涯
Anyplace is better
任何地方都好
Starting from zero got nothing to lose
纵使不顺也不损失什么 一切才刚刚开始
Maybe we'll make something
也许可以计划几件大事
Me myself I got nothing to prove
但我除了自己 没有什么能拿来担保
You got a fast car
你准备好那辆车
And I got a plan to get us out of here
而我做好了离开的计划
I been working at the convenience store
我在便利店工作了一些时候
Managed to save just a little bit of money
已经有了一点点储蓄
Won't have to drive too far
其实不用去很远的地方
Just 'cross the border and into the city
开过州界开进城市
You and I can both get jobs
在那里我们找份工作
Finally see what it means to be living
然后一齐见证生活的意义
See my old man's got a problem
你看见了我老爸的问题
He live with the bottle that's the way it is
我老爸终日酗酒
He says his body's too old for working
觉得自己那把老骨头已不能再工作
Body's too young to look like his
其实他身强力壮 如二十出头的少年
My mama went off and left him
妈妈得不到想要的生活 很早便舍他而去
She wanted more from life than he could give
她想要的远远超过他能给的
I said somebody's got to take care of him
可必须得有个人来照顾他啊
So I quit school and that's what I did
所以我退学了 这是我能做的
You got a fast car
你那辆车很快
Is it fast enough so we can fly away
但是能快到让我俩飞起来么？
We gotta make a decision
我们要赶紧做决定
We leave tonight or live and die this way
要不今晚离开 要不就过着这死水般的生活
See remember we were driving driving in your car
我记得我们在你的车里开呀开呀
The speed so fast I felt like I was drunk
速度快到我恍如微醺
City lights lay out before us
街灯飞逝
And your arm felt nice wrapped around my shoulder
蜷缩在你温暖的怀抱中
And I had a feeling that I belonged
突然有一种强烈的感觉
And I had feeling I could be someone be someone be someone
我觉得 我可以成为另一个人 另一个人
You got a fast car
你有辆很棒的车
We go cruising to entertain ourselves
我们漫无目的 到处闲晃
You still ain't got a job
虽然你还没找到工作
And I work in a market as a checkout girl
我在超市工作 做着收银员
I know things will get better
但我坚信一切都会好起来的
You'll find work and I'll get promoted
有一天 你会找到工作 我也会升职
We'll move out of the shelter
那时我们会搬出这小棚屋
Buy a big house and live in the suburbs
买栋郊区的大房子 悠然而居
As remember we were driving driving in your car
我记得我们在你的车里开呀开呀
The speed so fast I felt like I was drunk
速度快到我恍如微醺
City lights lay out before us

And your arm felt nice wrapped around my shoulder
蜷缩在你温暖的怀抱中
And I had a feeling that I belonged
突然有一种强烈的感觉
And I had feeling I could be someone be someone be someone
我觉得 我可以成为另一个人 另一个人
You got a fast car

I got a job that pays all our bills
而我有了一份可以维持家庭的工作
Stay out drinking late at the bar
那时你却终日流连酒吧
See more of your friends than you do of your kids
看望你的朋友超过看望你的孩子
I'd always hoped for better
我总是希望更好
Thought maybe together you and me would find it
想一想 也许在一起你和我会觉得
I got no plans I ain't going nowhere
我没有方向 不知道现在该去哪
Take your fast car and keep on driving
所以开着你的快车继续开吧
Said remember we were driving driving in your car
