Life

Uh, she see my father in me
That's why she argue with me
That's why they can't forgive me
Uh, rock and a hard place
Wearing a hard face
Close the door, leave my house like I'm Scarface
Yeah, sweet success that I can't taste
Heard the bang, still finishing the last race
Lapping me, a year ago, yo, they was clapping me
Nobody told me that I'd lose it so rapidly
I thought this was the kind of thing that goes gradually
My hair line, the good guys I was glad to be
Grim Reaper's catching me, yeah
Yeah, it's like I work for him
I'm being punished for the times that I would sin
When I tried to do right, still I did the wrong thing
Yo, I thought I was a king

Yeah, saying I don't want this (say, uh)
(Uh, say) saying they don't want this life

What kind of man weeps at the feet of his wife in pain
Holds up the pink and shrieking thing and feels the throb of time?
What kind of man wraps a cloth around his waist
And holds the baby to his chest
Walks through the streets swaying like a drunk in the morning?
What kind of man feels the rage of men
And only swallows at his daughter's fists?
What kind of man bends to hold them in their suffering
In their questions, in their garbled turns of phrase?
What kind of man admits his failures
Turns over his heavy stones
Stands at the feet of grief and wanting and does not turn away?
What kind of man becomes a father, a lasting place?

So how am I supposed to sum it up?
Listen, this is what the summer does
And I ain't losing any one of us, a mother's love
Yeah, mother's love
I know it isn't what it is, I wished it was
The love is great
Yeah, to raise the man that you hate
Growing in the man that you make
Uh, knowing if you plan your escape
Then the next man's handed his fate
They say that time waits for no man, uh (da, da, da, da-da-da)
At least it didn't for my old man
So fuck it, me and the Devil used to hold hands
A slow dance through the city, through that cold sand
I'm here all fucking week and ain't got no plans
Was staring back at the reflections of a grown man (da, da, da, da-da-da)
Staring back at the reflections of a grown man
But I don't want to be an old man

Uh, she see my father in me
Uh, ela vê meu pai em mim
That's why she argue with me
É por isso que ela discute comigo
That's why they can't forgive me
É por isso que eles não podem me perdoar
Uh, rock and a hard place
Uh, entre a cruz e a espada
Wearing a hard face
Usando uma cara dura
Close the door, leave my house like I'm Scarface
Feche a porta, saia da minha casa como se eu fosse Scarface
Yeah, sweet success that I can't taste
Sim, doce sucesso que eu não posso provar
Heard the bang, still finishing the last race
Ouvi o estrondo, ainda terminando a última corrida
Lapping me, a year ago, yo, they was clapping me
Me ultrapassando, um ano atrás, yo, eles estavam me aplaudindo
Nobody told me that I'd lose it so rapidly
Ninguém me disse que eu perderia isso tão rapidamente
I thought this was the kind of thing that goes gradually
Eu pensei que isso era o tipo de coisa que acontece gradualmente
My hair line, the good guys I was glad to be
Minha linha de cabelo, os bons caras que eu estava feliz em ser
Grim Reaper's catching me, yeah
O Ceifador está me pegando, sim
Yeah, it's like I work for him
Sim, é como se eu trabalhasse para ele
I'm being punished for the times that I would sin
Estou sendo punido pelas vezes que eu pecava
When I tried to do right, still I did the wrong thing
Quando eu tentei fazer o certo, ainda assim eu fiz a coisa errada
Yo, I thought I was a king

What kind of man weeps at the feet of his wife in pain
Que tipo de homem chora aos pés de sua esposa em dor
Holds up the pink and shrieking thing and feels the throb of time?
Segura a coisa rosa e gritante e sente o pulsar do tempo?
What kind of man wraps a cloth around his waist
Que tipo de homem enrola um pano em volta da cintura
And holds the baby to his chest
E segura o bebê em seu peito
Walks through the streets swaying like a drunk in the morning?
Anda pelas ruas balançando como um bêbado pela manhã?
What kind of man feels the rage of men

In their questions, in their garbled turns of phrase?
Em suas perguntas, em suas frases confusas?
What kind of man admits his failures
Que tipo de homem admite suas falhas
Turns over his heavy stones

O amor é ótimo
Yeah, to raise the man that you hate
Sim, para criar o homem que você odeia
Growing in the man that you make
Crescendo no homem que você faz
Uh, knowing if you plan your escape
Uh, sabendo se você planeja sua fuga
Then the next man's handed his fate
Então o próximo homem recebe seu destino
They say that time waits for no man, uh (da, da, da, da-da-da)
Dizem que o tempo não espera por ninguém, uh (da, da, da, da-da-da)
At least it didn't for my old man
Pelo menos não esperou pelo meu velho
So fuck it, me and the Devil used to hold hands
Então foda-se, eu e o Diabo costumávamos dar as mãos
A slow dance through the city, through that cold sand
Uma dança lenta pela cidade, por aquela areia fria
I'm here all fucking week and ain't got no plans
Estou aqui a maldita semana toda e não tenho planos

I know it isn't what it is, I wished it was
Ich weiß, es ist nicht das, was es ist, ich wünschte, es wäre
The love is great
Die Liebe ist groß
Yeah, to raise the man that you hate
Ja, um den Mann zu erziehen, den du hasst
Growing in the man that you make
Wachsend in dem Mann, den du machst
Uh, knowing if you plan your escape
Uh, wissend, wenn du deinen Ausweg planst
Then the next man's handed his fate
Dann wird dem nächsten Mann sein Schicksal übergeben
They say that time waits for no man, uh (da, da, da, da-da-da)
Sie sagen, dass die Zeit auf niemanden wartet, uh (da, da, da, da-da-da)
At least it didn't for my old man
Zumindest hat sie nicht auf meinen alten Mann gewartet
So fuck it, me and the Devil used to hold hands
Also scheiß drauf, ich und der Teufel hielten früher Händchen
A slow dance through the city, through that cold sand
Ein langsamer Tanz durch die Stadt, durch den kalten Sand
I'm here all fucking week and ain't got no plans
Ich bin die ganze verdammte Woche hier und habe keine Pläne
Was staring back at the reflections of a grown man (da, da, da, da-da-da)
Starrte zurück auf die Reflexionen eines erwachsenen Mannes (da, da, da, da-da-da)
Staring back at the reflections of a grown man
Starrte zurück auf die Reflexionen eines erwachsenen Mannes
But I don't want to be an old man

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

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

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.
