Taylor Swift – Father Figure 中文歌詞
[Verse 1]
When I found you, you were young, wayward, lost in the cold
當我遇見你時，你還年輕、叛逆，在寒冷中迷失
Pulled up to you in the Jag’, turned your rags into gold
我開著捷豹停在你身邊，把你的破衣爛衫變成了黃金
The winding road leads to the chateau
蜿蜒的道路通往城堡
“You remind me of a younger me,” I saw potential
「你讓我想起年輕時的自己」，我看見了潛力
[Chorus]
I’ll be your father figure, I drink that brown liquor
我會成為你的父親楷模，我暢飲那深色烈酒
I can make deals with the devil because my dick’s bigger
我能和魔鬼交易，因為我更有本事
This love is pure profit, just step into my office
這段愛是純粹的利益，只要走進我的辦公室
I dry your tears with my sleeve
我會用衣袖為你拭去眼淚
[Post-Chorus]
Leave it with me, I protect the family
交給我吧，我會保護這個家族
Leave it with me, I protect the family
交給我吧，我會保護這個家族
[Verse 2]
I pay the check before it kisses the mahogany grain
我在帳單落到紅木桌上之前就已付清
Said, “They wanna see you rise, they don’t want you to reign”
我說：「他們想看你崛起，但不想讓你稱王」
I showed you all the tricks of the trade
我把所有行當的門道都教給你
All I asked for is your loyalty, my dear protégé
我唯一的要求就是你的忠誠，我親愛的門徒
[Chorus]
I’ll be your father figure, I drink that brown liquor
我會成為你的父親楷模，我暢飲那深色烈酒
I can make deals with the devil because my dick’s bigger
我能和魔鬼交易，因為我更有本事
This love is pure profit, just step into my office
這段愛是純粹的利益，只要走進我的辦公室
They’ll know your name in the streets
街上的人都會知道你的名字
[Post-Chorus]
Leave it with me, I protect the family
交給我吧，我會保護這個家族
[Bridge]
I saw a change in you (I saw a change, saw a change in you)
我看見你變了（我看見了，你真的變了）
My dear boy
我親愛的孩子
They don’t make loyalty like they used to (Not like they used to)
如今的忠誠已不復當年（不再像從前）
Your thoughtless ambition sparked the ignition
你魯莽的野心點燃了火焰
On foolish decisions, which led to misguided visions
那些愚蠢的決定帶來錯誤的幻想
That to fulfill your dreams
讓你以為要實現夢想
You had to get rid of me
你必須先除掉我
I protect the family
而我才是守護這個家族的人
[Chorus]
I was your father figure, we drank that brown liquor
我曾是你的父親楷模，我們一起暢飲烈酒
You made a deal with this devil, turns out my dick’s bigger
你和這個魔鬼交易，結果發現我的力量更強
You want a fight? You found it, I got the place surrounded
想開戰嗎？你找對了，我已經把這裡包圍
You’ll be sleeping with the fishes before you know you’re drowning
你還沒意識到溺水，就已經與魚同眠
Whose portrait’s on the mantel? Who covered up your scandals?
壁爐上掛著誰的肖像？是誰幫你掩蓋醜聞？
Mistake my kindness for weakness and find your card cancelled
把我的仁慈當成軟弱，你會發現自己已被清算
I was your father figure, you pulled the wrong trigger
我曾是你的父親楷模，但你扣錯了板機
This empire belongs to me
這個帝國屬於我
[Post-Chorus]
Leave it with me, I protect the family
交給我吧，我會保護這個家族
Leave it with me, I protect the family
交給我吧，我會保護這個家族
Leave it with me
交給我吧
[Outro]
