[中文]

呜！耶！哈！啊！

...

主啊，怜悯我！

...

我记得那天我给妈妈打电话。

我告诉她，妈妈，我要结婚了，我能听到她的声音。

在电话的另一端，她在微笑。

她问了我一个问题，我骄傲地回答了。

她说：“儿子，你花时间了解她了吗？”

我说，妈妈，她是最好的，但今天我好痛。

要回去告诉妈妈，妈妈，我要离婚了。

哦，我要离婚了。

我做的这个选择没有奏效。

不像我想象的那样。

我做的这个选择，妈妈，我好痛。

...

我做的这个选择，不像我想象的那样，我的这个选择啊！

妈妈对我说。

儿子，这不容易理解。

但我希望你能挺过去，你会再次快乐的。 2x

...

我记得在教堂里，当牧师诵读经文的时候。

你看起来那么美丽，那么美丽，那么纯真。

...

我不知道在那美丽背后。

隐藏着在不久的将来会毁灭我的真实面目。

我做的这个选择，并没有像我想象的那样。

...

哦！妈妈！

我做的这个选择，并没有像我想象的那样，现在我好痛。

...

我记得我牵着你的手。

牧师诵读经文。

将誓言放进你的嘴里。

也许牧师说的话。

并不是你内心真实的想法。

现在我明白他们所说的。

“美丽的女人是另一个男人的玩物”是什么意思了。

哦！主啊！我现在好痛。

我做的这个选择没有奏效。

不像我想象的那样，我的这个选择啊！

妈妈对我说。

儿子，这不容易理解。

但我希望你能挺过去，你会再次快乐的。

...

[英语]

Uuuhhh! yeaahh haahh ahh

Lord of mercy!

I remember the day I called mama on the telephone

I told her mama I'm getting married, I could hear her voice

On the other side of the telephone, she was smiling

And she asked me a question that I proudly answered

She said, "Son did you take time to know her?"

I said mama she's the best but today it hurts me so

To go back to mama and say mama I'm getting divorced

Oh I'm getting divorced

This choice I made didn't work out

The way I thought it would

This choice I made. It hurts me so mama,

This choice i made, didnt work out the way i thought it would, this choice of mine oh!

Mama said me.

It's not easy to understand it son

But I hope you'll make it, you'll be happy again. 2x

I remember in church, when the preacher man read the scriptures

You looked so beautiful, so beautiful and so innocent

I did not know that behind that beauty

Lies the true colors that will destroy me in the near future

This choice I made didn't work out to be what i thought it be

Oh!, mama

This choice i made didnt work out the way i thought it would now am hurting.

I remember when I held you

By the hand preacher man read the scriptures

Putting words in your mouth.

Maybe what the preacher man said

Was not something that was within you.

Now I know what they mean when they say

"Beautiful woman is another man's play thing"

Oh! Lord! I'm hurting now

This choice I made didn't work out

The way I thought it would, this choice of mine oh!

Mama said to me

It's not easy to understand it son

But I hope you'll make it, you'll be happy again.

重点语法结构

• I remember the day I called mama on the telephone

  ➔ 省略关系代词的关系从句

  ➔ 完整的句子是：“I remember the day *that* I called mama...”。关系代词“that”在作为关系从句的宾语时可以省略。

• I said mama she's the best but today it hurts me so To go back to mama and say mama I'm getting divorced

  ➔ 使用'so'作为强调词。使用目的不定式'to go back'

  ➔ “it hurts me *so*” - “so”加强了受伤的感觉。“*To go back* to mama” - 不定式表示受伤的原因，即返回的动作。

• This choice I made didn't work out The way I thought it would

  ➔ 省略关系代词的关系从句；过去第三类条件句（与过去简单时混合）

  ➔ “This choice *that* I made...” - 省略了关系代词。“The way I thought it *would*” - 暗示“would work out”，但并没有发生。

• It's not easy to understand it son But I hope you'll make it, you'll be happy again.

  ➔ 使用'it'作为形式主语; 使用'make it'作为习语。

  ➔ “*It*'s not easy *to understand it*” - 'it'是一个形式主语，真正的主语是'to understand it'。“You'll *make it*” - 意味着你会成功，克服困难。

• I did not know that behind that beauty Lies the true colors that will destroy me in the near future

  ➔ 否定副词短语后的倒装（'behind that beauty'）。

  ➔ 通常，句子是：“The true colors lie behind that beauty.”但是，当以副词短语“behind that beauty”开头时，我们倒置主语和谓语以进行强调。
