To Begin With

Home is a word that I've never known
我从不知道 家这个词意味着什么
Lodged, something caught in the back of my throat
或许是栖身之处 我觉得如鲠在喉
A word is a word but I've had no luck
话是这么说 但我从来没有过好运
A stove of broken yolks, belly-up
炉子翻倒在地 摔破了里面的鸡蛋
We're only a shell in the end
留下来的只有蛋壳
And only an egg to begin with
最开始还是个鸡蛋
I know what I know and I've said and done
我有自知之明 一口唾沫一颗钉
Some things just for fun and some for love
有时为一时开心 有时情之所至
And outside the water is rough
外面波浪滔天
But warm enough
但也足够温暖
We're only a sail in the end
最终我们航行在海上
And only a breath to begin with
从最开始的一息尚存
If you don't throw a stone in nobody's pond
如果你不主动结交他人
You'll only grow up alone
你就只能在孤单中长大
And so it is so, since I was young:
从我很小的时候 一直如此
A hole's for diggin up
挖深一口洞
And a bowl's for eating out of
吃净一碗饭
And just one boat is enough to hold us up
一叶孤舟便令我们团结一致
We're only a sail in the end
最终我们航行在海上
And only a breath to begin with
从最开始的一息尚存
