The Joke
Brandi M. Carlile, David W. Jr. Cobb, Phillip John Hanseroth, Timothy Jay Hanseroth
You're feeling nervous, aren't you, boy?
With your quiet voice and impeccable style
Don't ever let them steal your joy
And your gentle ways, to keep 'em from running wild
They can kick dirt in your face
Dress you down, and tell you that your place
Is in the middle, when they hate the way you shine
I see you tugging on your shirt
Trying to hide inside of it and hide how much it hurts
Let 'em laugh while they can
Let 'em spin, let 'em scatter in the wind
I have been to the movies, I've seen how it ends
And the joke's on them
You get discouraged, don't you, girl?
It's your brother's world for a while longer
We gotta dance with the devil on a river
To beat the stream
Call it living the dream, call it kicking the ladder
They come to kick dirt in your face
To call you weak and then displace you
After carrying your baby on your back across the desert
I saw your eyes behind your hair
And you're looking tired, but you don't look scared
Let 'em laugh while they can
Let 'em spin, let 'em scatter in the wind
I have been to the movies, I've seen how it ends
And the joke's on them
Let 'em laugh while they can
Let 'em spin, let 'em scatter in the wind
I have been to the movies, I've seen how it ends
And the joke's on them
Ooh, ooh
You're feeling nervous, aren't you, boy?
Estás nervoso, não estás, rapaz?
With your quiet voice and impeccable style
Com a tua voz calma e estilo impecável
Don't ever let them steal your joy
Nunca deixes que eles roubem a tua alegria
And your gentle ways, to keep 'em from running wild
E as tuas maneiras gentis, para os impedir de correrem selvagens
They can kick dirt in your face
Eles podem atirar terra na tua cara
Dress you down, and tell you that your place
Vestir-te mal, e dizer-te que o teu lugar
Is in the middle, when they hate the way you shine
Está no meio, quando eles odeiam a forma como brilhas
I see you tugging on your shirt
Vejo-te a puxar a tua camisa
Trying to hide inside of it and hide how much it hurts
Tentando esconder-te dentro dela e esconder o quanto dói
Let 'em laugh while they can
Deixa-os rir enquanto podem
Let 'em spin, let 'em scatter in the wind
Deixa-os girar, deixa-os espalhar-se ao vento
I have been to the movies, I've seen how it ends
Eu já fui ao cinema, eu vi como acaba
And the joke's on them
E a piada é deles
You get discouraged, don't you, girl?
Ficas desencorajada, não ficas, rapariga?
It's your brother's world for a while longer
É o mundo do teu irmão por mais algum tempo
We gotta dance with the devil on a river
Temos que dançar com o diabo num rio
To beat the stream
Para vencer a corrente
Call it living the dream, call it kicking the ladder
Chama-lhe viver o sonho, chama-lhe chutar a escada
They come to kick dirt in your face
Eles vêm para atirar terra na tua cara
To call you weak and then displace you
Para te chamar de fraca e depois deslocar-te
After carrying your baby on your back across the desert
Depois de carregar o teu bebé nas costas através do deserto
I saw your eyes behind your hair
Vi os teus olhos por detrás do teu cabelo
And you're looking tired, but you don't look scared
E pareces cansada, mas não pareces assustada
Let 'em laugh while they can
Deixa-os rir enquanto podem
Let 'em spin, let 'em scatter in the wind
Deixa-os girar, deixa-os espalhar-se ao vento
I have been to the movies, I've seen how it ends

Déjalos girar, déjalos dispersarse en el viento

Vienen a patear tierra en tu cara
To call you weak and then displace you
Para llamarte débil y luego desplazarte
