In Color
I said, Grandpa what's this picture here
我對祖父說這張照片是什麼
It's all black and white and ain't real clear
照片是黑白的真的好模糊
Is that you he said, yeah I was eleven
這是你嗎他說是那時他11歲
35年前日子很艱難
Times were tough back in thirty-five
那是祖父和叔叔喬在為活下去掙扎呢
That's me and Uncle Joe just tryin' to survive
那是在大蕭條時期的一間棉廠
A cotton farm in the Great Depression
我們是不是看起來怕得要死
像幾個連體孩子努力互相救助
And if it looks like we were scared to death
你應該看得見它是彩色的
Like a couple of kids just trying to save each other
這張照片攝於海外
You should have seen it in color
攝於苦難的1943年
在嚴冬裡你幾乎能看到我的呼吸
This one here was taken overseas
這位是機尾砲手歐約翰麥基
In the middle of hell in nineteen forty-three
他是來自新奧爾良的一名中學老師
In the winter time you can almost see my breath
在那些日子他給我支持
我們是不是看起來怕得要死
That was my tail gunner ole' Johnny McGee
像幾個連體孩子努力互相救助
He was a high school teacher from New Orleans
你應該看得見它是彩色的
And he had my back right through the day we left
照片後的故事一言難盡
但你看不見這些灰色陰影下有怎樣鮮活的故事
And if it looks like we were scared to death
你應該看得見它是彩色的
Like a couple of kids just trying to save each other
這是我最喜歡的照片
You should have seen it in color
這是我和你祖母站在夏日的陽光下
穿著正裝宣誓著我們的誓言
A picture's worth a thousand words
你看不出那是在一個炎熱的六月
But you can't see what those shades of gray keep covered
紅紅的玫瑰還有她藍藍的眼睛
You should have seen it in color
看看我的笑臉是多麼驕傲
這是關於我生命的故事
This one is my favorite one
就在那裡在這黑白照片裡
It's me and grandma in the summer sun
我們是不是看起來怕得要死
All dressed up the day we said our vows
像幾個連體孩子努力互相救助
你應該看得見它是彩色的
You can't tell it here but it was hot that June
照片後的故事一言難盡
That rose was red and her eyes were blue
但你看不見這些灰色陰影下有怎樣鮮活的故事
And just look at that smile I was so proud
你應該看得見它是彩色的
你應該看得見它是彩色的
That's the story of my life
照片後的故事一言難盡
Right there in black and white
但你看不見這些灰色陰影下有怎樣鮮活的故事
你應該看得見它是彩色的
And if it looks like we were scared to death
Like a couple of kids just trying to save each other
You should have seen it in color
A picture's worth a thousand words
But you can't see what those shades of gray keep covered
You should have seen it in color
You should have seen it in color
A picture's worth a thousand words
But you can't see what those shades of gray keep covered
You should have seen it in color
