Tekst Pjesme
My son is almost three
– Moj sin ima gotovo tri godine
He used to look just like his dad
– Prije je bio vrlo sličan svom ocu
But right now he looks just like me
– Ali sada je vrlo sličan meni
And as far as I can see, the fruit I bear is sweet
– I koliko mogu reći, plodovi koje donosim su slatki
But the apple’s rolling real far from the tree
– Ali jabuka leti vrlo daleko od stabla jabuke
And falling down the hill so full of love and so carefree
– I pada niz brdo, tako pun ljubavi i bezbrižan.
I wonder if the world will treat him any better than it treated me
– Pitam se hoće li se svijet prema njemu ponašati bolje nego prema meni
But papa, don’t you preach
– Ali Tata, nemoj držati propovijedi.
I tried to teach him every day that nothing good is free, but always should be
– Svaki dan sam mu pokušavala objasniti da ništa dobro ne dolazi besplatno, ali uvijek bi trebalo biti
And with my roots above and all my branches down below
– I moje korijenje na vrhu i sve moje grane na dnu
Please tell my boy I love him so
– Molim te, reci mom dječaku da ga jako volim
Please tell the world I have to grow before I go
– Molim te, reci svijetu da moram odrasti prije nego što odem.
I just wanted you to know
– Samo sam htio da znaš.
That I believe in magic and I believe in sin
– Da vjerujem u magiju i vjerujem u grijeh
I still believe in Heaven, if they’ll never let me in
– Još uvijek vjerujem u raj, čak i ako me tamo nikad ne puste
I started to believe in love the day I met my little twin
– Počeo sam vjerovati u ljubav onog dana kad sam upoznao svog malog Blizanca
I think I might start tryin’ because I haven’t been
– Pretpostavljam da bih mogao početi pokušavati jer još nisam bio tamo.
My Momma’s getting old
– Moja mama stari
Well, it’s contagious and you’ll catch it like a cold
– Pa, zarazno je i uhvatit ćete ga poput prehlade
She won’t admit it, but it’s something that I know
– Neće to priznati, ali znam da jest.
‘Cause every year that passes for me passes her a hundredfold
– Jer svaka godina koja prođe za mene prolazi stostruko za nju.
Back in the day, my dad and I would share a laugh at all of her mistakes
– Jednom smo se moj otac i ja zajedno smijali svim njezinim pogreškama
But that alliance didn’t save me from her fate
– Ali taj savez me nije spasio od njezine sudbine
No, it didn’t, I’m still twenty-eight
– Ne, nije, još uvijek imam dvadeset i osam godina
Became a single mom, just crushed under a rake
– Postala sam samohrana majka, samo zgnječena grabljama
Of a child growing faster than I think that I can take
– Dijete raste brže nego što mogu zamisliti
I love him anyway
– Ionako ga volim
And I remind myself a time will come when he sees me turn grey
– I podsjećam se da će doći vrijeme kada će me vidjeti kako postajem siva
And realize it’s too late, like I did with my mother
– I shvaćam da je prekasno, kao što sam učinio s majkom
So now I tell her to her face
– A sada joj to kažem ravno u lice
With my roots above and all my branches down below
– Moji korijeni su na vrhu, a sve grane na dnu
Please tell my mom I love her so
– Molim vas, recite mojoj majci da je jako volim
Please tell the world I have to grow before I go
– Molim te, reci svijetu da moram odrasti prije nego što odem
I just wanted you to know
– Samo sam te htio obavijestiti
That I believe in magic and I still believe in sin
– Da vjerujem u magiju i još uvijek vjerujem u grijeh
I still believe in Heaven, if they’ll never let me in
– Još uvijek vjerujem u raj, čak i ako me tamo nikad ne puste
I started to believe in love the day I met my little twin
– Počeo sam vjerovati u ljubav onog dana kad sam upoznao svog malog Blizanca
And I might start tryin’ because I haven’t been
– I mogao bih početi pokušavati jer još nisam bio tamo.
I haven’t been, da-da-da-da
– Nisam bio tamo, da, Da, da.
Da-da-da-da-la-la
– Da-Da-Da-da-la-la
Da-da-da-da-la-la
– Da-Da-Da-da-la-la
Da-da-da-da-la-la
– Da-Da-Da-da-la-la
I love him so
– Toliko ga volim
