If I could kill a word and watch it die
I'd poison never, shoot goodbye
Beat regret when I felt I had the nerve
I'd pound fear to a pile of sand
Choke lonely out with my bare hands
I'd hang hate so that it can't be heard
If I could only kill a word
Yeah, I'd take brokenness out back
And break heartbreak, stand there and laugh
Right in its face while shootin' it the bird
I'd put upset down in its place
I'd squeeze the life out of disgrace
Lay over under six cold feet of dirt
If I could only kill a word
Give me sticks, give stones
Bend my body, break my bones
Use staff and rod to turn me black and blue
'Cause you can't unhear, you can't unsay
But if were up to me to change
I'd turn lies and hate to love and truth
If I could only kill a word
Yeah, I'd knock out temptation's teeth
I'd sever evil and let it bleed
Then light up wicked, stand and watch it burn
I'd take vice and I'd take vile
I'd throw 'em up there with hostile
Hang 'em high and leave 'em for the birds
If I could only kill a word
Now, give me sticks, give stones (give me sticks, give stones)
Bend my body, break my bones (break my bones)
Use staff and rod to turn me black and blue (black and blue)
'Cause you can't unhear, you can't unsay (no you can't unsay!)
But if were up to me to change
I'd turn lies and hate to love and truth
If I could only kill a word
If I I, if I I could only, if I could only kill a word
Joanna Cotten
If I could kill a word and watch it die
Wenn ich ein Wort töten und es sterben sehen könnte
I'd poison never, shoot goodbye
Ich würde niemals vergiften, Abschied schießen
Beat regret when I felt I had the nerve
Schlage Reue, wenn ich das Gefühl hatte, den Mut zu haben
I'd pound fear to a pile of sand
Ich würde Angst zu einem Haufen Sand schlagen
Choke lonely out with my bare hands
Einsamkeit mit meinen bloßen Händen ersticken
I'd hang hate so that it can't be heard
Ich würde Hass aufhängen, damit er nicht gehört werden kann
If I could only kill a word
Wenn ich nur ein Wort töten könnte
Yeah, I'd take brokenness out back
Ja, ich würde die Gebrochenheit hinten rausnehmen
And break heartbreak, stand there and laugh
Und Herzschmerz brechen, dort stehen und lachen
Right in its face while shootin' it the bird
Direkt in sein Gesicht, während ich ihm den Vogel zeige
I'd put upset down in its place
Ich würde Verstimmung an ihren Platz setzen
I'd squeeze the life out of disgrace
Ich würde das Leben aus Schande herausquetschen
Lay over under six cold feet of dirt
Legen Sie sich unter sechs kalte Fuß Erde
If I could only kill a word
Wenn ich nur ein Wort töten könnte
Give me sticks, give stones
Gib mir Stöcke, gib mir Steine
Bend my body, break my bones
Beuge meinen Körper, breche meine Knochen
Use staff and rod to turn me black and blue
Benutze Stab und Rute, um mich schwarz und blau zu machen
'Cause you can't unhear, you can't unsay
Denn du kannst nicht unerhören, du kannst nicht unsagen
But if were up to me to change
Aber wenn es an mir läge zu ändern
I'd turn lies and hate to love and truth
Ich würde Lügen und Hass in Liebe und Wahrheit verwandeln
If I could only kill a word
Wenn ich nur ein Wort töten könnte
Yeah, I'd knock out temptation's teeth
Ja, ich würde den Zähnen der Versuchung den Knockout versetzen
I'd sever evil and let it bleed
Ich würde das Böse durchtrennen und es bluten lassen
Then light up wicked, stand and watch it burn
Dann zünde das Böse an, steh auf und sieh zu, wie es brennt
I'd take vice and I'd take vile
Ich würde Laster und ich würde Abscheulichkeit nehmen
I'd throw 'em up there with hostile
Ich würde sie dort oben mit feindseligem aufhängen
Hang 'em high and leave 'em for the birds
Hänge sie hoch und lasse sie für die Vögel
If I could only kill a word
Wenn ich nur ein Wort töten könnte
Now, give me sticks, give stones (give me sticks, give stones)
Jetzt gib mir Stöcke, gib mir Steine (gib mir Stöcke, gib Steine)
Bend my body, break my bones (break my bones)
Beuge meinen Körper, breche meine Knochen (breche meine Knochen)
Use staff and rod to turn me black and blue (black and blue)
Benutze Stab und Rute, um mich schwarz und blau zu machen (schwarz und blau)
'Cause you can't unhear, you can't unsay (no you can't unsay!)
Denn du kannst nicht unerhören, du kannst nicht unsagen (nein, du kannst nicht unsagen!)
But if were up to me to change
Aber wenn es an mir läge zu ändern
I'd turn lies and hate to love and truth
Ich würde Lügen und Hass in Liebe und Wahrheit verwandeln
If I could only kill a word
Wenn ich nur ein Wort töten könnte
If I I, if I I could only, if I could only kill a word
Wenn ich ich, wenn ich ich nur könnte, wenn ich nur ein Wort töten könnte

If I could kill a word and watch it die
Se eu pudesse matar uma palavra e vê-la morrer
I'd poison never, shoot goodbye
Eu envenenaria o nunca, atiraria no adeus
Beat regret when I felt I had the nerve
Bateria no arrependimento quando sentisse coragem
I'd pound fear to a pile of sand
Sim, eu esmagaria o medo até virar um monte de areia
Choke lonely out with my bare hands
Sufocaria a solidão com minhas próprias mãos
I'd hang hate so that it can't be heard
Eu enforcaria o ódio para que não pudesse ser ouvido
If I could only kill a word
Se eu pudesse apenas matar uma palavra
Yeah, I'd take brokenness out back
Eu levaria a quebradeira para fora
And break heartbreak, stand there and laugh
E quebraria a desilusão, ficaria lá e riria
Right in its face while shootin' it the bird
Bem na cara dela enquanto mostrava o dedo do meio
I'd put upset down in its place
Eu colocaria a perturbação em seu lugar
I'd squeeze the life out of disgrace
Eu espremeria a vida da desgraça
Lay over under six cold feet of dirt
Deitaria por cima sob seis pés de terra
If I could only kill a word
Se eu pudesse apenas matar uma palavra
Give me sticks, give stones
Me dê paus, me dê pedras
Bend my body, break my bones
Dobre meu corpo, quebre meus ossos
Use staff and rod to turn me black and blue
Use cajado e vara para me deixar preto e azul
'Cause you can't unhear, you can't unsay
Porque você não pode retirar o que ouviu, você não pode retirar o que disse
But if were up to me to change
Mas se dependesse de mim para mudar
I'd turn lies and hate to love and truth
Eu transformaria mentiras e ódio em amor e verdade
If I could only kill a word
Se eu pudesse apenas matar uma palavra
Yeah, I'd knock out temptation's teeth
Eu arrancaria os dentes da tentação
I'd sever evil and let it bleed
Eu cortaria o mal, deixaria sangrar
Then light up wicked, stand and watch it burn
Depois acenderia o perverso, ficaria e assistiria queimar
I'd take vice and I'd take vile
Eu pegaria o vício e pegaria o vil
I'd throw 'em up there with hostile
E amarraria eles lá com o hostil
Hang 'em high and leave 'em for the birds
Enforcaria eles alto e deixaria para os pássaros
If I could only kill a word
Se eu pudesse apenas matar uma palavra
Now, give me sticks, give stones (give me sticks, give stones)
Dobre meu corpo, quebre meus ossos
Bend my body, break my bones (break my bones)
Use cajado e vara para me deixar preto e azul
Use staff and rod to turn me black and blue (black and blue)
Porque você não pode retirar o que ouviu
'Cause you can't unhear, you can't unsay (no you can't unsay!)
Você não pode retirar o que disse
But if were up to me to change
Mas se dependesse de mim para mudar

Envenenaría "nunca", dispararía a "adiós"
Beat regret when I felt I had the nerve

Dobla mi cuerpo, rompe mis huesos
Use staff and rod to turn me black and blue

Tomaría el vicio y tomaría lo vil
I'd throw 'em up there with hostile
Los lanzaría allí con lo hostil
Hang 'em high and leave 'em for the birds
Los colgaría alto y los dejaría para los pájaros

I'd pound fear to a pile of sand
Je réduirais la peur en un tas de sable
Choke lonely out with my bare hands

Jika aku bisa membunuh sebuah kata dan melihatnya mati
Aku akan meracuni 'tidak pernah', tembak 'selamat tinggal'
Pukul penyesalan saat aku merasa memiliki keberanian
Ya, aku akan menghancurkan ketakutan menjadi tumpukan pasir
Mencekik kesepian dengan tangan telanjangku
Aku akan menggantung kebencian sehingga tidak bisa didengar
Jika aku hanya bisa membunuh sebuah kata
Aku akan membawa kehancuran ke belakang
Dan mematahkan patah hati, berdiri di sana dan tertawa
Tepat di wajahnya sambil menembakinya burung
Aku akan menempatkan kekecewaan di tempatnya
Aku akan memeras hidup dari aib
Berbaring di bawah enam kaki tanah dingin
Jika aku hanya bisa membunuh sebuah kata
Berikan aku tongkat, berikan aku batu
Bengkokkan tubuhku, patahkan tulangku
Gunakan tongkat dan batang untuk membuatku hitam dan biru
Karena kamu tidak bisa tidak mendengar, kamu tidak bisa tidak mengatakan
Tapi jika terserah aku untuk mengubah
Aku akan mengubah kebohongan dan kebencian menjadi cinta dan kebenaran
Jika aku hanya bisa membunuh sebuah kata
Aku akan memukul gigi godaan
Aku akan memotong kejahatan, biarkan itu berdarah
Lalu nyalakan kejahatan, berdiri dan saksikan itu terbakar
Aku akan mengambil kejahatan dan aku akan mengambil keji
Dan mengikat mereka di sana dengan bermusuhan
Gantung mereka tinggi dan biarkan mereka untuk burung
Jika aku hanya bisa membunuh sebuah kata
Jadi berikan aku tongkat, berikan aku batu
Bengkokkan tubuhku, patahkan tulangku
Gunakan tongkat dan batang untuk membuatku hitam dan biru
Karena kamu tidak bisa tidak mendengar, kamu tidak bisa tidak mengatakan
Tapi jika terserah aku untuk mengubah
Aku akan mengubah kebohongan dan kebencian menjadi cinta dan kebenaran
Jika aku hanya bisa membunuh sebuah kata
Jika aku hanya bisa membunuh sebuah kata
ถ้าฉันสามารถฆ่าคำและดูมันตายได้
ฉันจะทำให้คำว่า 'ไม่เคย' ถูกพิษ, ยิงคำว่า 'ลาก่อน'
ทุบความเสียใจเมื่อฉันรู้สึกว่ามีความกล้า
ใช่, ฉันจะทำให้ความกลัวกลายเป็นทราย
ฉันจะทำให้ความเหงาหายไปด้วยมือเปล่า
ฉันจะแขวนความเกลียดชังให้ไม่มีใครได้ยิน
ถ้าฉันสามารถฆ่าคำได้
ฉันจะนำความพังพินาศไปที่ด้านหลัง
และทำลายความเศร้าใจ, ยืนอยู่ที่นั่นและหัวเราะ
หัวเราะหน้ามันขณะยิงนกกลางอากาศ
ฉันจะทำให้ความไม่พอใจอยู่ในที่ของมัน
ฉันจะบีบความอับอายจนหมดชีวิต
นอนลงใต้หกฟุตของดินที่เย็นชา
ถ้าฉันสามารถฆ่าคำได้
ให้ฉันไม้, ให้ฉันหิน
งอกายฉัน, หักกระดูกฉัน
ใช้ไม้และไม้เท้าเพื่อทำให้ฉันเป็นสีน้ำเงินและดำ
เพราะคุณไม่สามารถยกเลิกการได้ยิน, คุณไม่สามารถยกเลิกการพูด
แต่ถ้ามันขึ้นอยู่กับฉันที่จะเปลี่ยน
ฉันจะเปลี่ยนความโกหกและความเกลียดชังเป็นความรักและความจริง
ถ้าฉันสามารถฆ่าคำได้
ฉันจะทำให้ความยั่วยวนหายไป
ฉันจะตัดความชั่วร้าย, ปล่อยให้มันเลือดออก
แล้วจุดไฟความชั่วร้าย, ยืนและดูมันเผาไหม้
ฉันจะเอาความชั่วร้ายและความน่ารัก
และผูกมันไว้กับความฝ่าฝืน
แขวนมันสูงและปล่อยให้นกกิน
ถ้าฉันสามารถฆ่าคำได้
ดังนั้นให้ฉันไม้, ให้ฉันหิน
งอกายฉัน, หักกระดูกฉัน
ใช้ไม้และไม้เท้าเพื่อทำให้ฉันเป็นสีน้ำเงินและดำ

如果我能杀死一个词，看着它死去
我会毒死“永不”，射杀“再见”
当我觉得我有勇气时，我会击败“遗憾”
是的，我会把“恐惧”打成一堆沙子
用我赤手空拳把“孤独”勒死
我会吊死“仇恨”，让它无法被听到
如果我只能杀死一个词
我会把“破碎”带到后院
并打破“心碎”，站在那里大笑
当我向它竖中指时，我会直接看着它的脸
我会把“不安”放在它应该的位置
我会把“耻辱”的生命榨干
把它埋在六英尺深的冷土地下
如果我只能杀死一个词
给我棍子，给我石头
弯曲我的身体，打断我的骨头
用杖和棒把我打得青一块紫一块
因为你不能“听而不闻”，不能“说而不言”
但如果改变取决于我
我会把谎言和仇恨变成爱和真理
如果我只能杀死一个词
我会打掉“诱惑”的牙齿
我会切断“邪恶”，让它流血
然后点燃“邪恶”，站着看它燃烧
我会拿走“恶习”和“邪恶”
并把它们和“敌意”绑在一起
把它们高高挂起，留给鸟儿
如果我只能杀死一个词
所以给我棍子，给我石头
弯曲我的身体，打断我的骨头
用杖和棒把我打得青一块紫一块
因为你不能“听而不闻”，不能“说而不言”
但如果改变取决于我
我会把谎言和仇恨变成爱和真理
如果我只能杀死一个词
