Motherland

These new lines on my face
我脸上这些新增的皱
Spell out "girl pick up your pace
仿佛在告诉我，
If you want to stay true to what your younger self would do"
如果我想要坚持年轻的自己认为正确的事就坚持做回自己。
And this kink in my walk
我在旅途中的这些挫折
Makes me focus when I talk
使我与别人打交道时慎言慎行
If I can't trust my feet
如果我不能相信自己的脚
Then it's my tongue I choose to keep
至少我还能相信自己的舌头
And I walk slow so I can read
我放慢脚步去欣赏沿途的风景
Let my head fall, my hips lead
我不再抬头赶路，而是跟着自己内心的感觉前行
Why'd you write the words so small?
为何你之前要和我说那些如此敷衍的话
Did you fool me, are they words at all?
你是玩弄我吗？那些是你真实的心声吗？
Or are you pulling down the veil
又或是在我即将远行时来回踱步的你
Keeping grounded as you set my sail?
在故弄玄虚
By the time I pull it off
当时的我把自己所有的小心思都藏在了心底里
All my innocence is lost
如今的我已不再单纯
And oh I'm good, I think I'm good
可我很好，至少我是这么觉得的
Will I be great, will I be great?
我会变得更好吗？真的会吗？
Is it money I wanna make or is it sweet love
这些是我想要的金钱，还是只是为了他想要的
For his sake?
甜蜜的爱
And these new parts I now need
现在的我需要新的挑战
To help me function, help me feed
来使我充满前进的动力和活下去的勇气
They are beyond my modest earnings
然而以我目前的经历是远远无法感悟到这些的
Oh the girls they keep turning up the heat
当天气变得寒冷时
As if it's cold
女孩们总是想把暖炉弄得更暖和一些
But I'm hot, too hot to hold
但是我太激动了，血液在沸腾，就像一根炙手的火把
I'll burn a hole right through the hull
可以把这艘船烧至只剩骨架
When will I
我要何年何月何日何时
Ever see the land?
才能看到那片我深念的土地
Will I ever see the land?
我真的能有幸看到那片故土吗？
Oh water can't revive me
海水并不能填补我空荡的内心
I need dirt in my hand
只有亲手摸一摸那片故土才能抚慰我的内心
Will I ever see the land?
我真的能有幸看到那片故土吗？
Will I ever see the land?
我真的能有幸看到那片故土吗？
Oh the ground will give me something
这片我深爱的土地会馈赠我一些宝贵的东西
I know that it can
我知道它会的
See I have charm and I have sight
因为它知道我有我自己独特的魅力和独到的见解
And I always try and do what's right
而且我总是尝试和坚持做自己认为的事
But I have faults you know it's true
当然我也会犯一些大家都知道的错误
Especially when it comes to treating you well
尤其是当这些错误影响到大家的利益时
I will work when all my thoughts are mine again
我不会停下追求自己所坚持的梦想的脚步
See I was sure at the start, turns out I tried too hard
在最初的时候，我就意识到这一路并不会事事顺利
And oh I'm good, I think I'm good
可我很好，至少我是这么觉得的
Will I be great, will I be great?
我会变得更好吗？真的会吗？
Is it money I wanna make or is it sweet love
