歌词翻译 (Chinese)
以这样方式被对待
艾米莉 从学校回到家
拉住他爸爸的手
他说。‘宝贝女儿，你怎么了？’
她说，‘我不想再去学校了’
她说，‘我希望有个办法
可以让他们停止’
他开车到了学校的办事处
他说，‘我不是为了让她
受到伤害才把她送来学校的
我不是为了让她无法开口
才让她来上学的
我努力地生活
就是为了看见那孩子脸上的微笑
所以为什么眼泪会从她的脸上流下来
她没有被这样对待过’
艾米莉 又一次晚归
他看到那个男孩离开了
但是这一次有点不同
她并没有多说什么
她说。‘他努力过了
但是有些事情我就是不能做’
伴随着眼泪
她说，‘我不能那么对你’
他说，
‘我不是为了让他折磨你
才把你养大
不是为了把你
这颗天真的心变得浑浊
我努力的生活就是为了
看到我女儿的微笑
所以不要让任何人把那份微笑带走
你不该被这样对待’
下着雨的一天电话铃响了
里面说；‘这里是警察局’
他说，‘先生，这里发生了一场意外
你最好过来看一下
一个酒醉的司机在立交桥上出了失误
艾米莉 现在伤的很重。’
他说。‘上帝啊，我不是为了让她
被带走才把她养大
我已经几乎要崩溃了
就在她妈妈去世的那天
唯一让我活下去的原因
就是那孩子脸上的微笑
求求你，不要带走她
不会让你这么简单的把她带走的，
她不该被这样对待’
他站在医院的床边
艾米莉 慢慢的睁开了她的眼睛
原始歌词 (English)
Brought Up That Way
Emily comes home from school,
Grabs onto her daddy's hand,
He says "Baby girl what's wrong with you?"
She says "Please don't make me go back there again"
She said "I wish there was some way
To make them stop it"
So he drives down to
That principles office and says
"I didn't bring her up
So they could cut her down
I didn't bring her here
So they could shut her out
I live my whole damn life
To see that little girl's smile
So why are tears pouring down that sweet face?
She wasn't brought up that way"
Emily's home late again
He sees that boy drive away
Oh but something's different this time,
She doesn't have too much to say
She said "He tried but
There's just some things I won't do"
And through the tears
She said "I couldn't do that to you"
And he said
"I didn't bring you up
So he could wear you down
Take that innocent heart
And turn it inside out
I live my whole damn life
To see my little girl's smile
So don't let nobody take that away,
You weren't brought up that way"
The phone rings on a rainy night
Says "It's officer tate"
He said "Sir, there's been an accident,
You better come down here right away,
A drunken driver missed an over pass,
And Emily, she's fading fast"
He says "God, I didn't bring her up
To watch them lay her down
Nearly killed me today,
They put her own momma in the ground
Only thing that kept me alive,
Was that little girl's smile
So please don't take that away,
It won't be easy taking her today,
She wasn't brought up that way"
He stands over the hospital bed
Emily opens her eyes
