第五十三屆格萊美最佳鄉村女歌手入圍歌曲The House That Built Me


 

Miranda Lambert,美國鄉村女歌手,1983年生於得州的林代爾。她的父母在她9歲的時候帶她參加了GarthBrooks音樂會,由此引發了她對鄉村音樂的愛好。16歲的時候,Lambert開始出現在JohnnyHigh Country Music Review上,並因此迅速獲得了一個在納什維爾的答錄機會,但是走出錄音室的她卻對流行風格的音樂產生了疑惑。在那之後她回到了得州的家裡,並且向她的爸爸學習如何彈奏吉他,以寫出真正屬於自己的歌曲。

Lambert
2005年推出了自己的首張專輯《Kerosene》,新專輯的第一首歌《Me and Charlie Talking》也是她的首只單曲。該專輯在美國創下白金銷量,其中4首單曲進入了Billboard熱播鄉村音樂Top40排行榜。Miranda一直追求鄉村音樂,她所寫的都是她身邊的事物,舊床、舊卡車、塵土飛揚的田野和其他一切德州的特有事物。

I know they say you can't go home again
I just had to come back one last time
Ma'am I know you don't know me from Adam
But these handprints on the front steps are mine
Up those stairs in that little back bedroom
Is where I did my homework and I learned to play guitar
I bet you didn't know under that live oak
My favorite dog is buried in the yard
I thought if I could touch this place or feel it
This brokenness inside me might start healing
Out here it's like I'm someone else
I thought that maybe I could find myself
If I could just come in I swear I'll leave
Won't take nothing but a memory
From the house that built me
Mama cut out pictures of houses for years
From Better Homes and Gardens magazine
Plans were drawn and concrete poured
Nail by nail and board by board
Daddy gave life to mama's dream
I thought if I could touch this place or feel it
This brokenness inside me might start healing

 

 


Out here it's like I'm someone else
I thought that maybe I could find myself
If I could just come in I swear I'll leave
Won't take nothing but a memory
From the house that built me
You leave home and you move on and you do the best you can
I got lost in this old world and forgot who I am
I thought if I could touch this place or feel it
This brokenness inside me might start healing
Out here it's like I'm someone else
I thought that maybe I could find myself
If I could just come in I swear I'll leave
Won't take nothing but a memory
From the house that built me
 

人們都說:離開老房子便不能再回去
我只是想再回家看最後一次

 

 


來開門的女士,我想你壓根兒都不認識我吧
但是這房子的前廊封存著我小時的手印兒
樓上後面的小臥間
是我做作業和第一次學彈吉他的地方
還有一個地方,我打賭你們一定不知道
在那顆槲樹下麵
埋葬著我最愛的狗兒
只要我能觸摸到這個地方,感受它
心中的傷痕也許就可以漸漸痊癒
現實中我好像在過別人的生活
如何才能找回自己
如果能讓我再次回來,我發誓我只待一會兒
我不會從這所老房子裡帶走任何東西
除了記憶
幾年來,老媽總愛從《美好家園》雜誌上
剪下喜歡的房子的圖案
畫好藍本,注下幸福的水泥
一根根釘子、一塊塊木板
老爸盡力使老媽美夢成真
只要我能觸摸到這個地方,感受它
心中的傷痕也許就可以漸漸痊癒
現實中我好像在過別人的生活
如何才能找回自己

 

 


如果能讓我再次回來,我發誓我只待一會兒
我不會從這所老房子裡帶走任何東西
除了記憶
有一天我離開家、繼續我的生活、盡力打拼
然後迷失在世界裡,忘了我是誰
只要我能觸摸到這個地方,感受它
心中的傷痕也許就可以漸漸痊癒
現實中我好像在過別人的生活
如何才能找回自己
如果能讓我再次回來,我發誓我只待一會兒
我不會從這所老房子裡帶走任何東西
除了記憶
