Ouais, l'amour d'une mère
I know it isn't what it is, I wished it was
Je sais que ce n'est pas ce que c'est, j'aurais aimé que ce soit
The love is great
L'amour est grand
Yeah, to raise the man that you hate
Ouais, pour élever l'homme que tu détestes
Growing in the man that you make
Grandissant dans l'homme que tu fais
Uh, knowing if you plan your escape
Uh, sachant si tu planifies ton évasion
Then the next man's handed his fate
Alors le prochain homme a son destin entre les mains
They say that time waits for no man, uh (da, da, da, da-da-da)
On dit que le temps n'attend personne, uh (da, da, da, da-da-da)
At least it didn't for my old man
Au moins, il n'a pas attendu mon vieux
So fuck it, me and the Devil used to hold hands
Alors merde, moi et le Diable avions l'habitude de nous tenir la main
A slow dance through the city, through that cold sand
Une danse lente à travers la ville, à travers ce sable froid
I'm here all fucking week and ain't got no plans
Je suis ici toute la putain de semaine et je n'ai pas de plans
Was staring back at the reflections of a grown man (da, da, da, da-da-da)
Regardant en arrière les reflets d'un homme mûr (da, da, da, da-da-da)
Staring back at the reflections of a grown man
Regardant en arrière les reflets d'un homme mûr
But I don't want to be an old man
Mais je ne veux pas être un vieil homme
Uh
Uh
(Da, da, da, da-da-da)
(Da, da, da, da-da-da)
Uh
Uh
Trouble in the one-six
Problemi nel one-six
Yeah, trouble in the one-six-nine, uh
Sì, problemi nel one-six-nine, uh

Yeah, saying they don't want this (uh)
Sì, dicono che non vogliono questo (uh)
Uh, saying they don't want this life

Come across this
Incontrano questo
Check
Controlla
Life

Uh, she see my father in me
Uh, lei vede mio padre in me
That's why she argue with me
Ecco perché litiga con me
That's why they can't forgive me
Ecco perché non possono perdonarmi
Uh, rock and a hard place
Uh, tra l'incudine e il martello
Wearing a hard face
Indossando una faccia dura
Close the door, leave my house like I'm Scarface
Chiudo la porta, lascio la mia casa come se fossi Scarface
Yeah, sweet success that I can't taste
Sì, dolce successo che non posso assaporare
Heard the bang, still finishing the last race
Ho sentito il colpo, sto ancora finendo l'ultima gara
Lapping me, a year ago, yo, they was clapping me
Mi stanno doppiando, un anno fa, yo, mi stavano applaudendo
Nobody told me that I'd lose it so rapidly
Nessuno mi ha detto che l'avrei perso così rapidamente
I thought this was the kind of thing that goes gradually
Pensavo che fosse il tipo di cosa che succede gradualmente
My hair line, the good guys I was glad to be
La mia linea dei capelli, i bravi ragazzi che ero contento di essere
Grim Reaper's catching me, yeah
Il Mietitore mi sta prendendo, sì
Yeah, it's like I work for him
Sì, è come se lavorassi per lui
I'm being punished for the times that I would sin
Sto venendo punito per le volte in cui ho peccato
When I tried to do right, still I did the wrong thing
Quando ho cercato di fare la cosa giusta, ho ancora fatto la cosa sbagliata
Yo, I thought I was a king
Yo, pensavo di essere un re
(Da, da, da, da-da-da)
(Da, da, da, da-da-da)
(Yeah, trouble in the one six) yeah, yeah
(Sì, problemi nel one six) sì, sì
(Uh, trouble in the one six)
(Uh, problemi nel one six)
Yeah, trouble in the one-six-nine
Sì, problemi nel one-six-nine

Yeah, saying I don't want this life
Sì, dico che non voglio questa vita
(Yeah, saying I don't) yeah, yeah
(Sì, dico che non) sì, sì
(Yeah, saying I don't want this) (da, da, da, da-da-da)

Yeah, saying I don't want this (say, uh)
Sì, dico che non voglio questo (dico, uh)
(Uh, say) saying they don't want this life
(Uh, dico) dicono che non vogliono questa vita
What kind of man weeps at the feet of his wife in pain
Che tipo di uomo piange ai piedi di sua moglie nel dolore
Holds up the pink and shrieking thing and feels the throb of time?
Tiene su la cosa rosa e strillante e sente il pulsare del tempo?
What kind of man wraps a cloth around his waist
Che tipo di uomo avvolge un panno attorno alla sua vita
And holds the baby to his chest
E tiene il bambino al suo petto
Walks through the streets swaying like a drunk in the morning?
Cammina per le strade dondolando come un ubriaco al mattino?
What kind of man feels the rage of men
Che tipo di uomo sente la rabbia degli uomini
And only swallows at his daughter's fists?
E ingoia solo ai pugni di sua figlia?
What kind of man bends to hold them in their suffering
Che tipo di uomo si piega per tenerli nella loro sofferenza
In their questions, in their garbled turns of phrase?
Nelle loro domande, nei loro giri di frase confusi?
What kind of man admits his failures
Che tipo di uomo ammette i suoi fallimenti
Turns over his heavy stones
Rivolta le sue pietre pesanti
Stands at the feet of grief and wanting and does not turn away?
Si ferma ai piedi del dolore e del desiderio e non si allontana?
What kind of man becomes a father, a lasting place?
Che tipo di uomo diventa un padre, un luogo duraturo?
So how am I supposed to sum it up?
Quindi come dovrei riassumerlo?
Listen, this is what the summer does
Ascolta, questo è ciò che fa l'estate
And I ain't losing any one of us, a mother's love
E non sto perdendo nessuno di noi, l'amore di una madre
Yeah, mother's love
Sì, l'amore di una madre
I know it isn't what it is, I wished it was
So che non è quello che è, avrei voluto che lo fosse
The love is great
L'amore è grande
Yeah, to raise the man that you hate
Sì, per crescere l'uomo che odi
Growing in the man that you make
Crescendo nell'uomo che fai
Uh, knowing if you plan your escape
Uh, sapendo se pianifichi la tua fuga
Then the next man's handed his fate
Allora al prossimo uomo è consegnato il suo destino
They say that time waits for no man, uh (da, da, da, da-da-da)
Dicono che il tempo non aspetta nessuno, uh (da, da, da, da-da-da)
At least it didn't for my old man
Almeno non lo ha fatto per mio padre
So fuck it, me and the Devil used to hold hands
Quindi cazzo, io e il Diavolo tenevamo le mani
A slow dance through the city, through that cold sand
Una danza lenta attraverso la città, attraverso quella sabbia fredda
I'm here all fucking week and ain't got no plans
Sono qui tutta la fucking settimana e non ho piani
Was staring back at the reflections of a grown man (da, da, da, da-da-da)
Stavo guardando indietro alle riflessioni di un uomo adulto (da, da, da, da-da-da)
Staring back at the reflections of a grown man
Guardando indietro alle riflessioni di un uomo adulto
But I don't want to be an old man
Ma non voglio essere un vecchio.
